Aussie Bogan Hero is a new side-scrolling Metroidvania from sole developer Snag Swag Studios due for release on Steam in early 2026. The game is heavily influenced by Australian culture and follows the journey of Davo, a mullet-wearing, beer-loving legend, battling corporate goons and freaky creatures to reopen his pub and save Dusty Springs. Although Aussie Bogan Hero isn’t out for some time, the announcement accompanying the comical trailer has confirmed that a demo will be available from October 2nd, 2025.

The game’s story centres around a corporate disaster that has warped the land and turned the local wildlife into monsters, causing havoc to the local beer supply. Davo, not happy about the lack of grog, sets out to squash the business and save the day by trekking across the outback.

In a press statement, Snag Swag Studios said. “From blistering desert landscapes to cursed mines and iconic landmarks, Aussie Bogan Hero offers an action-packed journey across a surreal version of Australia. With backyard brawling combat, improvised weapons like cricket bats and pub darts, and a host of cheeky upgrades, players can take on magpies, bin chickens, redbacks, and more. Packed with satirical Aussie humour, offbeat characters, and chaotic fun, this is a true-blue adventure where only a bogan legend in a singlet can save the day.”
