Press release:
Prague, 12. May 2026 – Bohemia Interactive has partnered with Polish developer Destructive Creations via Bohemia Incubator program to develop Nailcrown, a fast, brutal dark-fantasy first-person shooter that combines old-school boomer-shooter intensity with engaging melee combat, high-intensity gunplay, and a dynamic gore system.
Established in 2023, Bohemia Incubator is the publishing label of renowned studio Bohemia Interactive, creators of genre-defining titles like DayZ and Arma. The Incubator’s mission is to support and publish bold, original games from emerging indie developers by providing them with funding, mentorship, and over 25 years of industry expertise.
Nailcrown delivers uncompromising, momentum-driven action in a medieval dark-fantasy setting filled with ghouls and other accursed horrors. Fight through enemies alone or in cooperative play, and uncover the truth behind the dark ambitions of a necromancer while reclaiming lost strength.
Key Features of Nailcrown
Boomer-Shooter Brutality: Fast, relentless run-and-gun gameplay and a dynamic gore system.
A Toolbox of Execution: Wield genre-defining classics like the Nailgun, Shotgun, and lightning-infused Impaler, or close the distance with a razor-sharp sword or skull-crushing warhammer.
Progression Through Carnage: Discover secrets, improve your character, and find upgrades for your weapons to unlock the full potential of devastating firepower.
Single-Player, Co-op, and PvP: Fight alone or with friends as you tear though hordes of enemies. And if your bloodlust is still not quenched, PvP will provide additional satisfaction.
Dark Narrative Set in a Nightmarish World: Serve a necromancer shrouded in mystery as you piece together his secrets in a nightmarish medieval fantasy setting.
Destructive Creations are known for their uncompromising approach to intense and mature gameplay and they are excited to bring their experience and unique creative vision to Nailcrown. With the support of Bohemia Incubator, the team aims to deliver a fast, violent, and unapologetically old-school FPS experience for fans of classic shooters and dark fantasy alike.

About Bohemia Interactive
Our story began with our first game, Arma: Cold War Assault, released back in 2001. Developed by just a handful of people, this PC-exclusive title became a massive success. It sold well over a million copies, received numerous industry awards, and was praised by critics and players alike. Since then, we’ve grown from a ragtag bunch of garage devs to an international family of over 400 professionals, working on Arma 3, Arma 4, Arma Reforger, DayZ, Ylands, Vigor, our proprietary Enfusion engine, and various other projects. Our ambition: to make games that act as platforms for people to explore, create, and connect.
