BOMBANANA! Release Date and Demo Timeline
The Short Answer
BOMBANANA! released on September 2, 2026 on Steam, developed by Lefto Studio and published by TARK. Before launch, Steam listed an "August 2026" window rather than a specific day — the actual date landed at the start of September.
Full Timeline
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| June 15, 2026 | Free demo launches as part of Steam Next Fest (the event ran June 15–22) |
| June 2026 | Demo goes viral: reported #1 most-played Next Fest demo, 670,000+ players and 230,000+ wishlists (single fan-tracker source — treat as reported, not official) |
| Pre-launch | Steam lists an August 2026 release window (no specific day) |
| August 29, 2026 | Lefto launch post details the full game, including three CHAOS modules |
| September 2, 2026 | Full release on Steam (App ID 4656000), a premium paid launch with special launch discounts |
| Post-launch | Demo remains installable; official Roblox adaptation by FXFX Studio available separately |
Demo Status: Is It Still Up?
Yes. The free official Steam demo is still installable after Steam Next Fest, on Windows and macOS. Steam lists the demo as Overwhelmingly Positive. Note the demo and the full game are separate Steam listings — the full-game page accumulated no user reviews before release because the game was not out yet.
The demo contains seven difficulty tiers (about 2–3 hours of play). Its in-game manual still has blank pages the full release fills in, which is why no honest guide published exact answer tables from the demo alone.
What Is Next
No DLC, expansion or console-port dates appear in any public source — anything claiming one is Unconfirmed. Official hot-fix notes since launch have focused on lobby, voice chat and microphone issues.
