Perhaps the biggest surprise during this morning’s Nintendo Indie World showcase came from the long awaited Mixtape which finally saw its release date announced after a year and a half of consistently open dates. First it was 2025, then Fall 2025, and after that it was delayed to this year. Finally, a late spring window of May 7, 2026 has been chosen as its launch date.
First revealed in June 2024, Mixtape is the second game from Melbourne, Australia developers Beethoven & Dinosaur and a natural evolution from their first title The Artful Escape that’s once again published by Annapurna Interactive.
Straight from the mind of director Johnny Galvatron, Mixtape is set in the 1990’s and sees players take control of Rockford who still hopes to one day live out her dream of becoming a music producer, as her and friends Slater and Cassandra look back fondly at their 1980’s teenage years on the last night they’ll spend together before their whole world changes....
