Snail, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNAL) announced that its independent game publishing division, Wandering Wizard, will showcase two forthcoming titles during Steam Next Fest, scheduled for February 23 through March 2, 2026. The publishing label will feature Stoneguard, a medieval-themed survival strategy game set to enter early access on March 19, 2026, alongside Above The Snow, a tycoon and city-building simulation that will present its public demo during the event.
Above The Snow has already garnered industry recognition, having won Best PC City Building Game at the NYX Game Awards 2025 and receiving multiple nominations across international gaming conferences. The title's award recognition positions it as a notable entry in the competitive city-building genre ahead of its Steam Next Fest debut.
The showcase represents part of Snail, Inc.'s broader strategy to expand its publishing portfolio through its independent label. By participating in Steam's prominent new game event, Wandering Wizard aims to reach players and gather feedback during critical pre-launch phases for both releases.
