Polish gamedev is once again preparing for a global impact. While most investors focus on CD Projekt or Bloober Team, Warsaw-based 11 bit studios is quietly gearing up a bomb that could shake the market. Official confirmation of participation in the June 2026 Summer Game Fest and the announcement of a tightly‑guarded secret have caused a stir. Is the market ready for a price rally of this ambitious company’s shares?
The 2026 Summer Game Fest (the spiritual successor to the E3 trade show), scheduled for June 5‑8, 2026, promises to be a true celebration for gamers and investors alike, who closely watch the game industry. The event moves to the famed Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, showing that the global video‑game industry is not content to stay in the shadow of traditional cinema and is taking the helm of modern pop culture.
It is there, under the Californian stars, that Warsaw’s studio 11 bit studios plans to unveil its long‑hidden cards. For investors in the Prince’s market, this is a clear signal that the moment for market expectation validation is approaching. The tech sector has always fed on promises, but only concrete announcements on such prestigious stages build real value for shareholders.
What exactly are the developers from the capital preparing? At the moment, there is a complete information blackout, which only fuels speculation among analysts and players. Łukasz Kukawski, the company’s Marketing & Communications Director, in an interview with ISBtech, dropped a very catchy bait that forces the market to speculate. He confirmed that in June 11 bit studios will appear at one of the main events of Summer Game Fest with a project that many players have been waiting for. The director noted that it’s already worth reserving free time and closely following their communication channels, as there will soon be something to discuss.
That was enough to spark speculation in industry media. Is it the mysterious Project P12, which is supposed to introduce a brand‑new IP? Or is it another adventure in the Frostpunk universe? We’ll find out on June 5 during Summer Game Fest.

From NewConnect to mature business
To fully understand why this brief announcement from 11 bit studios electrifies the domestic market, one must look at the company’s history, as they are not random newcomers seeking fleeting applause. The company’s journey to the main Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW) market (which it moved to in 2015 after gathering valuable polish on the alternative NewConnect) is a journey from a promising indie game developer to a mature, global market player. The successes of cult series such as Anomaly, the moving contemporary war theme This War of Mine, and the highly profitable Frostpunk and Frostpunk 2 proved that the Warsaw studio can perfectly combine ambitious themes with commercial success.
The mysterious announcement from 11 bit studios is a carefully planned strategy, because a well‑planned campaign based on Summer Game Fest (watched by millions of players worldwide) can immediately translate into hundreds of thousands of new Steam wish‑list entries. For shareholders, this is the most fundamental indicator of future revenue, showing real player interest in a title.
On May 18, the share price of 11 bit studios was 143 PLN
