Upcoming Games Built Around Player-Created Chaos

Let’s be real, I love games that let me just… break things. It doesn’t matter if it’s realistic physics, totally over-the-top action, or just a crazy art style, I’m all about causing some controlled chaos. That’s why open-world games where you can run wild, or competitive shooters where anything goes, are always so popular – they let you embrace the madness and actually enjoy the mayhem. It’s just fun to mess around and see what happens!

More games that let players create their own fun and unpredictable moments are on the way! These upcoming titles, ranging from office chair PvP shooters to skateboarding trains, are designed to encourage creativity and let your unique playstyle shine through, adding to their interesting gameplay and stories.

Last Man Sitting

Roguelite Arena Shooter Built Around Office Chairs

Platforms	PC
Release Date	TBA
Developer	DoubleMoose Games
Genre	Roguelite, Arena Shooter

Marketing for the game Last Man Standing has been ongoing for some time, and fans are beginning to worry about a possible endless delay since a release date hasn’t been announced. However, the reason for the wait is that DoubleMoose Games is adding a single-player and co-op roguelite mode to go alongside the 2v2 arena shooter they previously showed off.

These two parts of the game are all about over-the-top, crazy action. You can improve both your weapons and your chair, and movement isn’t limited to just rolling – you can also do backflips, grind on rails, and pull off other cool moves. In the roguelite mode, you’ll battle robotic office machines, and the PvP mode is a king-of-the-hill competition you can enjoy with friends or other players online.

Kingmakers

Bringing A Machine Gun To A Medieval Sword Fight

Similar to Last Man Sitting, Kingmakers doesn’t have a confirmed release date yet. It was originally planned to launch on October 8, 2025, but was postponed indefinitely just before its scheduled release. While some players might see this as a warning sign – and past experiences suggest caution – the developers at Redemption Road explained the delay was due to the game’s ambitious scope and complexity.

Kingmakers is an exciting and cleverly designed game that blends third-person shooting with the strategy of medieval real-time simulations. You take on the role of a soldier sent back to Medieval England to influence important battles and prevent a future catastrophe. What makes the game special is its realistic battles – thousands of soldiers each act independently based on their own AI and allegiances. You’ll fight across six huge, fully explorable castles that can be damaged by both your weapons and those of the enemy. You have a variety of modern weapons at your disposal, like machine guns, shotguns, and sniper rifles, and can even call in vehicles such as trucks and helicopters. You can also switch to a tactical overview to command your troops directly. It’s an ambitious game, so a few rough edges are to be expected.

All Will Fall

Player-Created Chaos With A Time Delay

If you enjoy building cities, All Will Fall is a post-apocalyptic game where you create a colony that rises up from the ocean. You’ll need to take care of your people by managing resources and keeping them happy, and you’ll also face unexpected challenges like storms, new arrivals, and strange structures appearing on the horizon.

Okay, so the coolest – and craziest – part of this game is how building actually works. It’s got a real physics system, which means you can’t just slap stuff together. You actually have to think about how things are supported, like in real life. Seriously, anything you build can fall apart, and if something collapses high up, it’ll take a bunch of other buildings with it! A little mistake can quickly become a disaster, and when you’re trying to save humanity, that tension really ramps up. It’s awesome and terrifying all at once.

Bandit Trap

3v1 Home Alone-Inspired Madness

If you love the first two Home Alone movies, you’ll probably enjoy Bandit Trap. It’s a competitive game where one player tries to stop three others from stealing things, just like Kevin McCallister! It’s a fun mix of games like Payday 2, Super Smash Bros., and Ultimate Chicken Horse.

Okay, so I play as the Trapper, and my whole thing is building a seriously tricked-out base full of traps. We’re talking spring traps, bombs, even water guns – anything to mess with the other players! I can set these off from anywhere, or hide and trigger them myself. The other three players are Bandits, and they need to work together, pick a strategy, and sneak into my base to grab ten treasures. If they do that, they win. But I win if I can get all three of them to 100% damage. The coolest part is, everything is physics-based. Explosions actually affect the environment, stuff gets destroyed, and every round quickly turns into total, hilarious chaos. It’s awesome!

Grand Theft Auto 6

Sure, There’s A Story, But We’re Just As Excited For The Sandbox

Rockstar Games has become a much more sophisticated storyteller since the release of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. They used to be known for their over-the-top and satirical single-player stories, but over the past 18 years – starting with GTA 4 and Red Dead Redemption, continuing with GTA 5, and truly shining with Red Dead Redemption 2 – they’ve steadily improved. Now, with Grand Theft Auto 6, they aim to establish themselves as masters of narrative with a story inspired by the infamous couple, Bonnie and Clyde, focusing on two criminals in a romantic relationship.

It’s no surprise everyone is hyped about the new Grand Theft Auto game. The series has always been known for its open-world freedom, and that’s not expected to change. The game will likely focus on a world that feels alive and reacts to your choices, offering tons of things to do and a unique sense of causing mayhem. No other series does player-driven chaos quite like Grand Theft Auto, and the next installment promises to take that to a whole new level.

Romeo Is A Dead Man

Suda51 Loves Some Chaos

Despite being a straightforward action game, Romeo is a Dead Man really comes alive through the unpredictable things players do. The game’s director, Suda51, is known for his wildly creative and chaotic action games like the No More Heroes series and Killer7, and Romeo is a Dead Man seems set to deliver more of that same energy on today’s consoles.

Romeo gains strength by defeating his enemies, and battles are incredibly brutal. He seamlessly switches between sword fighting and gunplay, tearing through opponents with intense, graphic violence. Blood and body parts fly with every attack, creating a chaotic scene. While not entirely realistic in its physics, the mayhem is entirely driven by the player’s actions.

Denshattack!

Skateboarding, But You’re A Train

Enjoy skateboarding and trains? Then you might love Denshattack! This game uniquely blends the two, letting you control a train as it travels across Japan. You’ll perform tricks, fight bosses, and complete challenges – and while there are rails, they’re more like optional fun additions than strict requirements.

The fun in Denshattack! happens organically as you play. While some of the craziness is built into the game, a lot of it comes from you experimenting and trying to do things a train probably shouldn’t be able to do. There is a story, but the real appeal is how wild the whole concept is, the unique art style, and the urge to push the game to its limits – like landing a 360 spin, driving on walls, and grinding rails while controlling a train.

Rebounder

Neon White In 2D And While Wearing A Tether

Platforms	PC
Release Date	TBA
Developer	ThirtyThree Games
Genre	Platformer, Speedrunner

What made Neon White so special was its fast-paced, skill-based gameplay, and Rebounder aims to deliver a similar experience in a 2D platformer. You play as a worker on a distant planet, using gadgets like explosive spores and a tether to bounce, swing, and fly through short levels. The goal is to beat your best time with each try.

What’s great about games like this is that they initially feel unpredictable, but with practice, you learn to use that to your benefit. It’s incredibly engaging – you die quickly, the controls are responsive, and you can restart instantly without consequence. This encourages you to try out all the different features and find creative combinations, like using a cannon to launch yourself with explosive spores, to improve your time.
