| End of an era | 2026-08-05 | Hello everyone, Thank you for the time you’ve spent playing the game, the laughter, and all the moments we’ve shared.

The database is no longer being maintained either, so we’ve decided to shut down Octofight—without this maintenance, it’s no longer possible to play with friends. We’re happy to have shared such great times with all of you, and we wish you all the best as you move on to games that will open up new and enjoyable exp |

| Game release: Octofight Escape | 2021-11-05 | After a year of development, the beta version Octofight Escape is finally available on Steam. First of all, you should know that we are a team of 3 people, who after having developed a mobile game "Octofight", we have created a new game: multiplayer, multi-team, on pc and soon smartphone (crossplatform). We are really happy to share this game with you, a game in which you have to learn to play strategically, while adapting to the role and the team you will be in. The "Escape game" part is what we think was missing in many social multiplayer games, so we hope you will like it the way we built it! During the different prototypes, many of you ha |
