Surfpunk Brings the Heat to the Quebec Games Celebration Showcase

The updated demo spices things up with a variety of changes to gameplay and cosmetics to dress up or down your Raider!

Montreal, Canada (February 19th, 2026) — Double Stallion is thrilled to announce today as part of the Quebec Games Celebration Showcase that an updated demo for Surfpunk is now available to play, and all weapon classes are now available from the start for all players to try out, as well as a tidal wave of new cosmetic items to customize their Raiders.

Surfpunk was chosen as one of only 30 games selected for the first edition of the Quebec Games Celebration Showcase, from a competitive field of hundreds of other eligible games developed in the province to be spotlighted as a can’t miss title that will be released from the Montreal-based studio later this year.

The trailer aims to bring a rush of both heat and humor with a spicy “hotline” ad inspired by pay-per-minute ads of the early 90s and features all Raider weapon classes and shows off some of the new,beach appropriate cosmetics that are available as of today. Calling the number will clue players in on a Quebec themed hint that can help to discover and unlock the “birthday suit” option in the demo which will also carry over to the full game on release.



ABOUT SURFPUNK

Dive into the Surfpunk’s dazzling but deadly world and get a taste of life as a Raider before the full game comes to early access next year.

In all, the demo contains roughly 5 hours of content and up to 10 hours for those who wish to explore all difficulty levels and unlockables to surf, scavenge, and strategize through.
Game Overview & Key Features

1-4 PLAYER ONLINE CO-OP
Join up with friends or go solo as you scavenge loot across a massive, monster-infested archipelago. Work together to succeed against overwhelming odds, grab as much loot as you can, and escape in style by surfing a massive tsunami wave to become the most legendary surfer-pirate of the sea!

SURF, SHRED, SCAVENGE
Use your high-speed “Rushboard” to hop between islands and tow your loot barge around procedurally generated tropical islands. Choose from multiple objective types, where each one has you exploring and looting while managing increasing pressure from enemies.

4 UNIQUE WEAPON CLASSES
Pick from four distinct weapon classes, each with their own flashy moves and strategic roles:

Sword – A fast and versatile melee weapon that allows for double dashes and packs a powerful punch.
Pistols – Fast-firing long-range weapons with explosive attacks. and the ability to jump up cliffs.
Anchor – A versatile heavy weapon that can switch between two stances and be used to pull teammates up cliffs.
Guitar – An unconventional support weapon with timing-based bonuses, powerful AOE attacks and the ability to speed-boost allies.

CRAFT ON THE GO
Harvest resources mid-run to craft gadgets like ladders, explosives, and makeshift boards. Break through barriers, improvise escape routes, or set traps for enemies. Quick thinking and creativity turn the tide of every mission.

ESCAPE OR WIPEOUT
As time passes and you extract more loot, waves of enemies will appear more frequently. When the islands start shaking and the water rises, you’ll have to make your escape before a colossal tsunami swallows everything. Navigate obstacles and surf your way back to safety, with your barge full, if you’re lucky!

HANG OUT
Return your plunder to the Beastship: your floating home on the seas. Share your loot with the onboard crew to craft new weapons, enhance your gear, customize your looks, and unlock new abilities. The Beastship also offers a place to pick up some side quests for unique rewards or just hang out in between missions as you discover the world of Surfpunk.
