18th of May, 2026 – Red Dunes Games, in collaboration with Agate, have announced an amazing and substantial updated demo of their 2.5D action-adventure Port of Jumanah, making its debut as part of Steam Ocean Fest 2026. Dive headfirst into new game modes, power-ups, and bosses in this fun-filled fantasy adventure beneath the waves.

Port of Jumanah beckons players to step into the flippers of Mansour, an unlucky pearl diver thrust into a chaotic, world-saving adventure beneath the waves. Get ready for snappy combat with endlessly replayable roguelite progression while exploring richly varied oceans teeming with bizarre, weapon-wielding sea creatures – probably not all friendly. Expect an exhilarating underwater odyssey where every dive promises new dangers, discoveries, and delightfully bonkers encounters.

The new demo lets players explore the underwater world in a whole new way, giving them a real feel for what lies ahead in the full game, scheduled for release in Q3 2026 on PC and consoles.
