Everbloom Games Announces Nullpoint Protocol: A Cooperative Roguelite Facing Cosmic Threat

Indie developer Everbloom Games, comprised of former Minecraft contributors, has formally announced their inaugural title, Nullpoint Protocol. Scheduled for release in 2026, the game offers a cooperative action roguelite experience designed for one to four players, thrusting them into a desperate struggle against cosmic devastation. The gameplay aims to replicate the intensity of MMO raids while avoiding repetitive elements.

At its core, Nullpoint Protocol revolves around rapid-paced boss encounters characterized by intricate bullet-hell attack patterns, necessitating precise reflexes and astute observation of enemy behaviors. Each playthrough features randomized attack sequences, ensuring a consistently fresh challenge. Players can tackle these trials individually or in collaborative teams – either locally or through online connectivity – with the game’s difficulty dynamically adjusting to accommodate varying group sizes.

The narrative backdrop portrays a dire situation: stars are vanishing, and entire civilizations teeter on collapse, placing immense responsibility upon the player’s team to avert utter destruction. Defeat leads not to a permanent end, but to a cyclical reset; players subsequently return as a new species, granted another opportunity to confront the encroaching oblivion.

Attendees of PAX West 2025 will have an early chance to experience Nullpoint Protocol firsthand via a playable demo, located at Everbloom’s booth (#648). The initial report on this announcement was published by GameDaily on August 9, 2025.
