    The Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit Will Take You Back to the Past with New Steam Next Fest Demo

    Philadelphia, PA – Feb. 21, 2025 –Starting today, AVGN fans can now get an exclusive sneak peek of the upcoming Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit. Indie developer and publisher Retroware is thrilled to announce that the demo for the highly anticipated game is now live on Steam as part of Steam Next Fest.

    Pixelated video game scene with a character navigating platforms, shooting creatures. A purple haunted house is in the background. Game HUD displays lives, health, and weapon status.

    Developed by Programancer, known for his work on Prison City and The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest, the Angry Video Game Nerd 8-bit’s Steam Next Fest demo features two levels to fight your way through, teeming with signature Nerd humor and Mega Man-inspired gameplay. In the demo, players will guide the Nerd through the Graveyard and Soda Factory stages, where they’ll navigate a variety of deadly hazards and face off against iconic enemies from throughout the Nerd’s history.

    Retro video game scene with a character aiming a gun at a large robotic enemy on a platform. Health bars and icons are displayed at the top of the screen.

    To celebrate its release, the game’s publisher Retroware has put together a trailer offering never-before-seen footage of the two levels featured in the Steam Next Fest demo. Watch as a pixelated James Rolfe blasts his way through hordes of heavily armed endoskeletons, Frankenstein’s monsters, severed hands, and death itself before going toe-to-toe with familiar foes inspired by the AVGN’s greatest rivals.

A pixelated game scene shows a character with glasses aiming a weapon at two skeletal enemies. The background has industrial elements with platforms and pipes. A small character runs across a platform from a large blue saw spinning diagonally on a black background. Pixelated character in a white suit jumps between platforms with gravestones and a purple cross in a retro-style video game setting.
