We do not yet hold enough of this game's announcement history to describe its rhythm.

Last successful news check: Oct 24, 2026, 2:01 PM UTC. This is when we checked Steam, separate from when the developer last posted.

We hold a thin slice of this game's announcement history, so its normal rhythm can't be established. That is a limit of our record, not evidence about the game.

Mycelium Conquest: Mitosis Runs Co-Op Shorts Contest Through July 31

YCF Productions has opened a short-form video contest for Mycelium Conquest: Mitosis, running through July 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM UTC. The prize is straightforward: the three highest-ranked entries each receive four keys to the full Mycelium Conquest game.

What's required

  • Co-op footage only — solo clips are explicitly disqualified.
  • Short-form platforms — YouTube Shorts, TikTok, or Instagram Reels, with a hard cap of 60 seconds.
  • Original footage — reuploaded clips are not eligible.
  • A specific set of hashtags must appear in the video description: #MyceliumContest #MyceliumConquest #BaseBuilding #AutomationGame #CoOpGaming #IndieGame
  • Entry links and a Steam profile must be posted in the designated Steam discussion thread.
  • All languages are accepted.

The developer suggests categories such as comedic failures, wave-defense moments, and creative base layouts, though no formal judging criteria are stated in the announcement. Winners are expected to be announced around August 3, with keys delivered via Steam chat after a friend request.

Mycelium Conquest: Mitosis is listed as a free download, and the contest functions as both a community event and an organic marketing exercise — the required hashtags are designed to surface gameplay footage across social platforms. For players already in co-op sessions, the barrier to entry is low: record a clip under a minute, post it in the thread, and submit as many times as desired.
