Brand new footage of fantasy game Avowed was shown at the Xbox Games Showcase.
From Obsidian, this is the first we've seen of the RPG set in the Pillars of Eternity world since its announcement in 2020.
Now we can finally see gameplay of its vibrant world and first-person magical combat. Check it out below.
Two years of furiously willing it into existence has paid off! Monkey Island is finally, FINALLY coming to Sea of Thieves in a major story crossover starting on 20th July this year.
It's not a complete surprise, of course; Rare first teased a potential Monkey Island crossover for Sea of Thieves back in 2021, hiding a certain ship away in a tiny corner of its ambitious Pirates of the Caribbean adventure. And now self-proclaimed mighty pirate Guybrush Threepwood and friends will be getting a similar treatment across three brand-new Tall Tales.
Sea of Thieves: The Legend of Monkey Island - as Rare's crossover is officially known - will start its first-person, point-and-click-inspired escapade on Mêlée Island, where an extremely beardy Threepwood is inexplicably receiving adulation from his peers. What follows is a "love-letter to the classic adventure game" that'll feature a host of familiar faces, including Elaine, Murray the Demonic Talking Skull, captain LeChuck, and more.
Microsoft Flight Simulator has been a huge success for Xbox - and it's a success that developer Asobo is seemingly capitalising on with the feature-saturated Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
It's like Asobo sat down and brainstormed every use for a plane that's not just flying from A to B, and worked to put it in Microsoft Flight Sim. The list is frankly astonishing, and includes:
Aerial firefighting, search and rescue, helicopter cargo transport, air ambulance, crop dusting, mountain rescue, skydive aviation, aerial construction, cargo transport, VIP charter service, air racing, glider pilot, scientific research, low altitude training, experimental trips, executive transport service, airship tours and hot air balloon trips. Phew.
At Xbox's 2023 showcase today we just got out first glimpse of Thunder Lotus' new game. The developer behind Spiritfarer and Sundered has been working on 33 Immortals, a top-down action-RPG roguelite with a delicate hand-painted art style and co-op for 33 players. What?!
It looks like a fascinating piece of work, with a delicate, rather serious tone, sonorous choral music, and delicate animation. But also: 33 players in an action-RPG! Based on a bit of gameplay, 33 Immortals won't scrimp when it comes to throwing loads of enemies your way, and there was a lovely bullet hell element to some of the spells going off.
33 Immortals will be released in 2024 for Xbox X/S, and will appear day one on Game Pass.

Compulsion, the developer behind We Happy Few, has unveiled its new game: South of Midnight.
The game was introduced as part of this evening's Xbox showcase.
It is described as a "fantastical" and "macabre third-person action-adventure", which is set in the American Deep South. I really like the look of the art style for this one, but before I prattle on too much, here is a little trailer for South of Midnight.
Tonight's Xbox Showcase gave us our first quick look at Star Wars Outlaws, from Ubisoft Massive, developer of The Division. It's coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2024.
A CGI trailer showed a bounty hunter-stuffed trailer starring a smuggler character named Kay. What we saw offered just a glimpse, but it was very, very Star Wars.
Cue scenes with Star Destroyers, TIE Fighters, people frozen in carbonite, and at least one Hutt.
Richard Ayoade will star in Fable, as revealed in a new teaser trailer at the Xbox Games Showcase.
The UK comedian narrates the trailer as 'Dave, vegetable enthusiast', injecting a healthy dose of British humour the series is known for.
At least, until he's actually an in-game giant.
With the PlayStation Showcase and Summer Game Fest Opening Showcase out of the way, attention now turns to Microsoft and Bethesda's dual-purpose Xbox Showcase and Starfield Direct later today.
This, remember, is a show broken into two halves and it all begins at 6pm UK time (BST) or 7pm CEST / 1pm EDT / 10am PDT. I'll replace the image above with a live stream embed when they're available. It's showing on Twitch and YouTube, if you're wondering.
I'll be keeping tabs of everything that happens right here in a live report, while also chatting with you and pulling in your keen observations and witty remarks. We'll play guess the game! It's going to be so much fun you won't even believe it.
When you think about it, a spy thriller is a perfect fit for CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077. The original game was, if nothing else, a game swimming in uncertainty and conspiracy. It's riddled with spies and corporate espionage, duplicitous side characters with agendas of their own. Its first act ends in a dramatic heist. And in many ways, you don't know what consequences your choices might create.
CD Projekt unveiled its Phantom Liberty DLC with a typically bombastic trailer today at the Xbox showcase, but we've also seen it behind closed doors out in Los Angeles - a good chunk of it, in fact - as we played through about an hour of the expansion and spoke to game director Gabriel Amatangelo and lead environment artist Kacper Niepokólczycki about what you can expect.
Our impressions? Compared to the explosiveness of the base game's original unveiling, and its trailer today, Phantom Liberty was a little more muted.
Hello! Just to say: yes, Graeme wrote a lovely retrospective of this game almost a decade ago and it's a terrific read. But with the game on people's minds again it felt like a welcome opportunity to revisit a real PS2 legend.
Did you know that Transformers will be 40 years old next year? Yep, the long running franchise that started life as a (blindingly successful) attempt to sell Japanese robot toys to American kids is almost as old as me. Being a fan of something for that long, especially when it's never really taken a break, can be a bit weird, as one day you'll suddenly realise that the bits that you remember being new-fangled upstarts are now old enough to vote and have kids and stuff. Y'know, if they were people and not cartoons and toys and whatnot.
Transformers Armada is one of those things. Released in 2002, the cartoon and accompanying toyline kicked off what has become known as the Unicron Trilogy, and is a bit of a mixed bag. The show was absolute bobbins, even before taking into account a lot of jank caused by production problems. Although there were some great toys, many were hampered by assorted gimmicks, resulting in limited articulation and transformation in order to allow for wee-woo noises, flashing lights and spring-loaded flaps.
Talking to Eurogamer at Summer Games Fest today, Sonic Team vice president of product development Takashi Iizuka has clarified the question of the newly unveiled Sonic Superstars' main developer: it's being led by Arzest, the Japanese studio which recently co-developed Fantasian and the troubled Balan Wonderworld - and that's headed up by Sonic's original creator Naoto Ohshima.
"This is a brand new classic Sonic Game that's been developed," Iizuka-san said, via translator, "and in order to recreate that classic Sonic gameplay, we needed someone who understands the classic Sonic series and understands that gameplay format, in order to really execute well on the final product."
"And so we're working together, with Naoto Ohshima-san, who is the creator of Sonic the Hedgehog and was there at Sonic 1, creating and developing the game. We're working with Ooshima-san and his team at Arzest, they're leading development on the title and they're doing a great job of making a brand new classic Sonic game."
I remember talking to a developer almost twenty years ago about where they thought games were headed, and they told me that one day they imagined a game about an old guy just trying to get across town to help out a sick friend. The drama, the challenge, the mechanics, everything comes out of the situation - being old and worried and on the wrong side of the city.
At the time I was speaking to the developer, they were finishing up work on a console game about aliens and soldiers. The dream of the old guy game seemed pretty distant. And I thought about it today during the 2023 Wholesome Direct, a curated bunch of games from developers who specialise in the cozy, unusual and delightful. Would the old guy game have been at home here? It wouldn't have been hugely out of place.
To put it another way, my favourite game in this Wholesome Direct was probably Toasterball, which cropped up at the end, in a relatively speedy montage of games that came after the main reveals. Toasterball is a game about playing basketball with toasters - your bread pops up and hopefully sends a ball back the way it came. I actually whooped when I saw it. Best of all - I've just discovered that it's already out.
Lovable plasticine pals Wallace and Gromit are getting a new video game - and this time, it's a VR title for Meta Quest 2.
Wallace and Gromit in the Grand Getaway was announced tonight via a quick teaser trailer at the Future Game Show. In it, we see a return of the duo's spaceship from 1989 adventure A Grand Day Out, which Wallace has apparently piloted to an alien world.
Where have Wallace and Gromit got to? Judging by the purple ringed planet in the sky and the sci-fi mountains nearby, this isn't anywhere nearby. Let's take a look:
Mario voice actor Chris Pratt has discussed the inevitable sequel to the box office-breaking Super Mario Bros. Movie, and said that news on what comes next should be coming "soon".
Exactly how soon, however, seems to depend on the ongoing writer's strike which has shutdown much of Hollywood.
"We're in the midst of this writers' strike, and so everything has been paused and on hold for the right reasons," Pratt told Entertainment Tonight.
Yakuza fans are struggling to find out if there will be physical copies of upcoming spin-off Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name available to buy in the West.
The game's official website confirms there will be a disc-based version in Asia - though only for PlayStation consoles, allowing PS4 copies to be played on PS5 consoles with disc drives. For the game's PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S formats, "no physical edition will be released".
Outside of Asia, the situation is less clear. Local versions of the official website for the UK and USA omit any mention of a physical release, and simply point to digital storefronts for the game on all formats - PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
Right, elevator pitch: you're a nice little bug-person who wordlessly solves environmental puzzles in a mournful, sci-fi atmosphere; there's an earthy-pastel colour palette; there's a soft and pleasingly tactile feel to the world; it's got a nice font; it's made by the lead gameplay designer of Limbo and Inside; and it's published by Annapurna - who probably only got about two-thirds of the way through hearing that pitch before flinging open their wallet.
This sounds a little rote - maybe because the added sense of surprise that comes with these almost aggressively tasteful, prestige-indie darlings has faded a smidge in the face of familiarity, but also maybe because I've likely undersold it. Cocoon is brilliant.
Much of this comes down to atmosphere which, perhaps unsurprisingly given its pedigree, is magic. My demo - hosted at Play Days, Summer Game Fest's small in-person portion for media - began on a rocky terracotta world, scattered with abstract shapes and curious obelisks. The music is synthy and minimalist and so you just pitter-patter around the place, nudging at it. Quickly Cocoon becomes a game about nudging, in fact. You're nudged artfully onto the right path forwards in that very delicate hands-off way these games have now perfected. You nudge the edges of the world as you explore it - what's walkable? What moves? What does this do? And then you start nudging stuff around.
Yesterday afternoon saw the broadcast of the inaugural Access-Ability Summer Showcase. Coming it at just under an hour, the showcase focused on new games "made by disabled developers and featuring accessibility settings designed to ensure more disabled gamers are able to play."
As the host, the writer and accessibility consultant Laura Kate Dale, put it, the aim was to ensure that "disabled gamers could be confident that if a game trailer seemed interesting to them they would know up-front if a game was likely to be playable by them or not when it releases.
"Basically," she continued, "I want this to be a space where disabled gamers can get in on the excitement of finding out about new and upcoming videogames with less risk of finding out later that a cool looking game you've seen today isn't something you can play when it actually releases."
Assassin's Creed Mirage sees Ubisoft's historical stabathon series return to its roots with more grounded combat and abilities, a map focused entirely around one city, and a return to the Middle East - where the franchise began.
Now, Ubisoft has revealed a further option that nods all the way back to Assassin's Creed 1 (which, I'm slightly alarmed to acknowledge, is now nearing its 16th birthday).
Where Mirage's colour palette is all golden sunrays and splashes of crimson, the original AC1 had a much bluer filter. To me, it pointed to the fact your historical adventures were all just a simulation - similar to the green palette employed in The Matrix films.
UPDATE 11/06/2023: Following earlier leaks, Bethesda has officially revealed Starfield's various editions, plus its Xbox controller and watch.
While the game's £70 Standard Edition will be part of Xbox Game Pass, you can pay more for the £100 Premium Edition or £250 Constellation Edition to gain "up to five days early access" to Starfield ahead of its 6th September launch.
Both the Premium and Constellation Editions will also include Shattered Space, Starfield's first story expansion, whenever that releases.
It's easy to write about Hiroshi Nagai's paintings when the sun is shining. Nagai is a poet of summers past - the blue-sky days, sure, but also the rosy dusks and those nights where you step outside and the air feels perfectly still. I found out about Nagai while scrolling TikTok recently. His precisely rendered images flashed up before me and I instantly lost the grasp of whatever else I was thinking at the time. Nagai's work took me off to this nostalgic world of peachy sunsets and palms and strange urban beaches. Who is this? Why did this stuff create tingles in the videogame part of my brain? Maybe Nagai simply reminded me of OutRun - OutRun but also Hockney.
Later that day I looked Nagai up and discovered that he did in fact exist outside of TikTok. Born in 1947, Nagai wanted to go to art school, inspired by his father's oil paintings. According to a great piece I read on Tokyo Cowboy, Nagai was unable to get a place on a course and instead worked for a set decorator in Tokyo before his own career took off. Thanks to his prolific creation of album covers, his work eventually became a visual signature for the Japanese City Pop movement of the 1970s and '80s - a movement that blended everything from funk, disco and soft rock to create shimmering cinematic confections with an "urban feel".
Nagai's been haunting me a bit since that first TikTok. I can't stop rewatching it and digging around for his stuff on eBay. I can't stop browsing his prints on places like Etsy. To fully get the Nagai experience, yesterday I took an hour to put on a City Pop playlist and lay back on the sofa just out of the sun, scrolling through his paintings on my phone.
Pokémon Go developer Niantic has said it will act to improve the game's quality levels, after a recent snafu left players spending time and money hunting rare Shiny Pokémon with far lower-than-expected odds.
The bug, which Niantic previously told Eurogamer was an "unfortunate technical error", was eventually fixed by the developer only after fans worked to crowdsource data and diagnose the problem for themselves.
It was the latest in a string of issues which seem to regularly affect the hugely-successful mobile app, with the release of Pokémon and the launch of in-game events frequently marred by some problem or other - particularly in early timezones such as New Zealand and Australia, where it is now a running joke in the game's community that players act as unofficial beta testers.
Blasphemous 2, the sequel to developer The Game Kitchen's gorgeously grim 2019 action-platformer, finally has a release date and is heading to Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Switch, and PC on 24th August this year.
Like its enormously enjoyable predecessor, Blasphemous 2 is part Metroidvania, part Souls-like, marrying a lavishly presented world of dark religious iconography, monsters, and encroaching madness with some truly unsettling imagery.
Storywise, Blasphemous 2 sees the return of pointy hatted protagonist The Penitent One for a journey across a unfamiliar land - a labyrinthine new kingdom ravaged by a curse known as The Miracle and comprised of a "series of enchantingly grotesque landscapes".
Developer Overkill Software's perenially popular co-operative heist-'em-up Payday 2 is currently free to download and keep on the Epic Games Store.
Released all the way back in 2013, Payday 2 sees teams of up to four players turning to a life of crime, embarking on a career of increasingly outlandish heists across Washington DC.
Payday 2's development officially ceased at the end of 2018, amid financial difficulties for Overkill's parent company Starbreeze, but the game recieved a surprise resurrection the following year, and updates of various sizes have continued to release since then.
Bandai Namco is giving select Tekken fans a chance to get stuck into the series' latest instalment early this summer, with a Tekken 8 closed network test kicking off on 21st July.
Tekken 8's closed network test will be available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and Steam, and is scheduled to run from 21st July at 9pm BST until the stroke of midnight on 22nd July.
It'll feature 16 playable characters - that's one more than the currently revealed line-up of Asuka Kazama, Bryan Fury, Claudio Serafino, Hwoarang, Jin Kazama, Jun Kazama, Kazuya Mishima, King II, Lars Alexandersson, Leroy Smith, Lili de Rochefort, Ling Xiaoyu, Marshall Law, Nina Williams, and Paul Phoenix - plus a total of five stages.
This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we react to last night's Summer Game Fest opening livestream, which offered us a first look at new Sonic and Prince of Persia games, plus a mouth-watering glimpse at Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth.
What didn't we see? A little oddly, Square Enix decided not to showcase Final Fantasy 16 - the one which actually goes on sale in a couple of weeks. Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty was also missing, as was host Geoff Keighley's best pal Hideo Kojima. Once the conference concluded, discussion online focused on the lack of any women on stage, following appearances by a string of male developers - and also Nic Cage.
On the upside, no one unexpectedly walked on stage and got arrested. So, how do we feel about all that, and how would we rate the conference overall? Was it a satisfying alternative to E3? Or are we hoping for more now from Xbox, Ubisoft and Capcom over the coming days? Joining me to discuss all that are Ed Nightingale and Victoria Kennedy.
As you'll have seen from some of my recent reviews here, I'm beginning to get into the world of audio in a bigger way than I had been. Of course, headphones are just one part of it, and speakers are another. Here to take a look at today I've got a set of the Q Acoustics M20 HD, a set of £389/$499 bookshelf speakers that are, quite simply, excellent - thanks to top-tier audio for their price category, great connectivity options and a stripped-down feature set that does everything you need without an app to complicate things.
Out of the box, the Q Acoustics M20 HD provide a solid first impression with more classic stylings than most computer speakers we see, with nicely rounded cabinets and minimal controls - just power, volume up and volume down on one speaker. There's also a small LED indicator that glows all manner of different colours depending on what source is being used, be it Bluetooth, optical, analogue or USB. Most of the other useful controls are found on the solid remote supplied with the speakers, which controls media playback, volume, as well as changing audio sources - and there are a lot of audio sources.
At the Devolver Direct showcase, the publisher announced brand new game Baby Steps, from the developer behind Ape Out and Getting Over It.
It is, quite literally, a walking simulator and features adult man-baby Nate (not of the Drake variety) learning how to walk.
Nate, you see, is unemployed and lives with his parents, spending his time nestled in front of the television until he's sucked into a fantasy world inside the screen.
Hot off the heels of the Super Mario Bros. Movie's success, it looks like another Nintendo IP could be making the transition to the big screen.
According to well-informed film critic Jeff Sneider, Universal and Illumination are close to closing a "big deal" with Nintendo to adapt the Legend of Zelda.
Stating he doesn't believe this news to be a huge surprise, Sneider told The Hot Mic Podcast "Zelda is looking like the next big Illumination x Nintendo franchise".
You may remember a beta for the absurd Party Animals that released back in 2020 - a riotously fun party game that swiftly rose up the most-anticipated lists. Fast forward three years and we finally have a release date, as announced at last night's Summer Games Fest: 20th September, on both PC (Steam) and Xbox consoles.
In that time, the Shanghai-based studio was majorly impacted by lockdown, but the game has gone through extensive development and has been confirmed for release on Xbox via Game Pass.
The developer also apologised for the long wait. "This is our first time developing a game, and we underestimated the time it would take to fix the bugs," said producer and CEO of Recreate Games Zixiong Luo. "Additionally, some necessary approval processes took longer than we planned. We are just as eager as fans to see Party Animals launch, and we want to ensure it's as polished and bug-free as possible first."
I dropped into Fortnite late last week - that rare game where you genuinely do drop in - and I had a lovely time as ever. But I had a wistful time too. It felt like something had changed - slowly, slowly and then quickly - and it took me a few days to work out what that might be.
What had happened was I'd appeared in this beautiful, detailed world, where every blade of grass was gorgeously lit and luxuriously curved. And the world itself was filled with distractions. Visit three named areas to get XP? I couldn't help but visit three named areas - everywhere had a name. But not just a name, everywhere also had a gimmick, a bit of storytelling, a possibility to lure me away to do this or that and to lose myself in some new novelty.
This is wonderful, and I would never complain about this. But - to then sort of complain about it - it made me realise that something was missing. To put it another way, I played Fortnite back in the very early days of Battle Royale, and I think some part of me will always be trying to work out whether it was better back then or better now.
UPDATE 11/6/23: Activision has now also removed the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone skin bundle for high-profile streamer Timthetatman, after he requested his in-game items were removed in solidarity with Nickmercs.
"At Tim's request, we have removed the TimTheTatman operator bundle from the Modern Warfare 2 and the Warzone store," an Activision spokesperson confirmed to Eurogamer today.
The removal of Nickmercs' skin from sale has sparked a mix of reactions from Call of Duty fans and streamers, with big names calling for Activision to reconsider its decision. The full story on all that is below.
Famed archaeologist Lara Croft will join the bumbling beans of Fall Guys, thanks to a new Tomb Raider crossover.
"A Lara Croft bean is something you never knew you needed," Tomb Raider's Twitter announced last night. "All the obstacle course training at Croft Manor is going to pay off!"
As for the Lara Croft bean skin, it is taking inspiration from the classic Lara of old, complete with short shorts, tank top, dinky backpack and braided hair.
Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've found ourselves playing over the last few days. This time: building, teleporting, editing.
If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We've Been Playing, here's our archive.
Super Fantasy Kingdom's demo is a wonderfully tense experience. It's a city builder, but it's also a wave-based survival game - likened by many to Vampire Survivors. That sounds like chaos, and it isn't. But it is extremely stressful.
Geoff Keighley's big Summer Game Fest blowout has begun, kicking off with a live two-hour showcase as notable for its Nicholas Cages as its Final Fantasy 7 Rebirths. But those that stuck around post-Keighley were, as is fast becoming tradition, rewarded with another batch of intriguing indie titles, courtesy of this year's Day of the Devs stream - and if you missed it, the whole thing can be perused in one convenient, easily digestible round-up below.
Beastieball is a new RPG from Wishes Unlimited, the studio behind the acclaimed Wondersong and Chicory. This time around, the team is turning its attention to something that looks a little like Pokémon, albeit with its combat replaced by a strategic, turn-based take on volleyball. In the role of a coach, players tour the world and sign up any Beasties they encounter to join their team and take on rivals in bouts of Beastieball. Loads of Beasties are promised, and they can all form friendships that'll create unique combos for use in matches. This one might still be a little way off, though - a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign launches soon.

PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 cult action adventure Shadows of the Damned is getting a remaster, developer Grasshopper Manufacture has announced.
More details on the project - and further reveals - will come next week in a dedicated Grasshopper Direct livestream. Yes, another one.
If you missed Shadows of the Damned at the time, it's a slightly silly demon shooter written by Goichi "Suda51" Suda, back from around the same time as Lollipop Chainsaw (a remaster of which was previously confirmed for launch this year).
UPDATE: Persona 3 Reload has been confirmed for release in "early" 2024 at the Xbox Games Showcase. As well as Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC, the game will be playable on Games Pass from day one.
Here's the official announcement trailer.
If you want more Persona before then, Persona 5 Tactica was also officially announced. Check out the trailer for the game below.
Amid the hubbub of the Summer Geoffs, Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Entertainment have given a fresh look at Warhammer: Space Marine 2, showing of a slice of co-op campaign gameplay ahead of its arrival this "winter".
Announced during last year's The Game Awards, Space Marine 2 expands on the third-person shoot-and-slash template of the Relic Entertainment developed original, which released all the way back in 2011. It sees the return of the first game's protagonist, Captain Titus (albeit with a new voice actor), and a new threat in the form of the Tyranids.
One of Space Marine 2's big new features, not previously revealed, is the ability to play its main campaign either solo or in three-player co-op mode either with two friends of AI. And we've not been given a glimpse of that courtesy of its newly revealed Summer Game Fest trailer.
Hello! The Summer Game Fest 2023 opening livestream has ended. The two hour show brought us a variety of new trailers for upcoming games, along with annoucements for ones which have already been released.
Don't worry if you missed it, below you'll find everything announced during the Summer Game Fest 2023 opening event, as it happened. (Be prepared - there's quite a lot.)
It all began with a reveal for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown from Ubisoft, which will be released on 18th January 2024:
Horror movie legend John Carpenter is teaming up with Saber Interactive for Toxic Commando, a co-op FPS promising '80's vibes, action, humour, and horror' when it launches for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC sometime next year.
Toxic Commando's action unfolds somewhere in the "near future", in a world where a failed experiment to harness the power of the Earth's core has unleashed an Eldritch abomination known as the Sludge God, intent on "turning soil to scum and the living to undead monsters".
Enter the Toxic Commandos, or, more specifically, up to four players, who'll each need to select a class to suit their playstyle. From there, it's a case of grabbing a weapon (firearms, grenades, even a katana), then tackling the mutant hordes on-foot or from behind the wheel of a vehicle.
As one online game announcement livestream ends, so another is confirmed. Tonight, during Summer Games Fest 2023, indie megapublisher Annapurna Interactive revealed it had its own dedicated show on the way.
Set to be broadcast on 29th June at 8pm UK time (3pm Eastern, 12pm Pacific) this showcase will reveal what's next for the publisher of top indie games such as Outer Wilds and What Remains of Edith Finch.
Indeed, a sneaky teaser pointed to some of what we might expect, which you can watch below. The teaser concludes with a promise of "one of our biggest announcements yet".
