GRIDbeat! and Ground Zero Hero Announced
Family Friendly Gaming News
LAS
VEGAS — April 23, in the year of our Lord 2026 —
Acclaim, Inc. will be turning up the heat in Las Vegas this
week, showcasing two of the publisher’s most exciting titles at
the LVL Up Expo, a three-day celebration of gaming, cosplay, and
pop culture running from April 24–26 at the Las Vegas Convention
Center’s South Hall.
LVL Up Expo attendees will be able to go hands-on with Ground
Zero Hero, the upcoming horde survival action roguelike from
Australian solo developer Rowan Edmondson. Featuring a vibrant
hand-drawn art style inspired by The Simpsons and Rick and
Morty, the game drops players into a chaotic post-apocalyptic
wasteland overrun by massive hordes of mutants. Players will
pummel piñatas, crunch candy, and absorb the irradiated guts of
enemies to unlock powerful mutations and develop into the
ultimate mutant.
The build available at LVL Up Expo offers an early look at
Ground Zero Hero’s demo ahead of its public launch on Steam on
April 30.
Also playable at the event is GRIDbeat!, a rhythm-infused
dungeon-crawler that has already made waves with players,
earning a 100% positive user review rating on Steam following
its March launch on Nintendo Switch and PC. In GRIDbeat!,
players assume the role of a hacker who just breached Knoss.OS,
the planet’s most heavily fortified corporate network, and made
off with a payload of priceless data. Now trapped within the
sprawling digital labyrinth of the Mainframe, every keystroke is
a rhythm, every move a measure in a desperate dance for
survival. Outmaneuver relentless security protocols, battle
brutal military simulations, and fend off insidious, corrupting
viral code, all programmed with one directive: to delete you
forever.
Both Ground Zero Hero and GRIDbeat! will be featured as part of
The MIX Indie Game Gallery, located near the hall’s South
Entrance.
