— Digital Happiness

Another one full lap around the sun!

Twelve years already.

Every year, DHXP gives us a chance to slow down for a bit and look back at everything we’ve been building together. From the earliest days until exactly now, it’s been a wild ride full of learning experiences, moments, and many, many late nights at the studio.

And honestly, seeing people continue to support our games after all this time still means the world to us, and always will.

This year, we’re excited to finally share more progress on the titles we announced previously. A lot has been happening inside the headquarter, and DHXP 2026 feels like the perfect time to finally give you an even closer look at what we’ve been working on lately.

And for the full showcase?

Set your reminder and join us for the official DHXP 2026 Premiere:

Aaanndd, did someone mention sale???

Of course, we couldn’t celebrate our anniversary without a special sale!

Take a look around and revisit the games that make us who we are throughout the years, but now with special discounts during the DHXP celebration period.

Hope you enjoy every bit of it.

And as always, thank you for being part of this journey with us.
