Double Fine's next game is a PvP brawler with pottery-powered team battles and a full social hub, out this spring on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC

Psychonauts and Keeper developer Double Fine has a new game coming in spring 2026. It's called Kiln, and it's a rare competitive multiplayer game for a studio known for refreshing single-player oddities.

Kiln sounds to me like a mech game in disguise. Announced at today's big Xbox Developer Direct 2026 live show, and described in an Xbox Wire post featuring project lead Derek Brand, Kiln is essentially a team-based brawler where your battle suit is a clay pot. Rather than tuning and assembling mechs, you'll sculpt and shape clay to balance offense and defense. Pots have weight classes, different special attacks, and designs can be shared with other players to hop right into battles.
