Iron Nest: Heavy Turret Simulator was developed by Nick Nieuwoudt with the participation of Dominik Latos. Nick handled the game's development as a solo developer, while Dominik managed business development and marketing. Together, they created the universe of Iron Nest: Heavy Turret Simulator, which was officially released on August 6, 2026.

Since the very beginning, playtests for Iron Nest: Heavy Turret Simulator have been conducted almost weekly; initially, just one lucky person would gain access to the game to test it. However, it was made available to the public for the first time during Next Fest, running from February 23, 2026, to March 2, 2026. This period was subsequently extended by a few days due to positive community feedback. During Next Fest, anyone who received a game key could obtain a special Discord role indicating their participation in the event.
