It's been a busy few weeks for Night Shift: 1999 and we wanted to take a moment to collect everything in one place for both new and existing followers of the project.


From showcase appearances to interviews and our very first developer log, there's never been a better time to step into the neon-soaked streets of Kings Cross.


Frosty Games Fest 2026


Night Shift: 1999 was featured as part of Frosty Games Fest 2026, the Australian and New Zealand showcase presented during Summer Game Fest.


The event highlighted some of the region's most exciting upcoming games and gave players a fresh look at Night Shift: 1999 ahead of its planned Q3 2026 release window.



Featured on GameTrailers


Our latest trailer was also featured by GameTrailers, introducing even more players to Isra's story. Set in Sydney's Kings Cross during the final year of the millennium, Night Shift: 1999 follows a centuries-old vampire attempting to build a new life while balancing work, relationships, and an increasingly complicated hunger.
