A few weeks ago, Disney announced that one of the showcases that will be present during D23 this year would be focused on video games, with the event being called the Disney and Marvel Games showcase. This particular showcase will take place on Sept. 9, 2022, the first day of the convention. While there have been some games announced to be appearing during the event, these are possibly not all that will be featured, but only time will tell on what will be making an appearance.
So without further ado, here are the 13 games that we are predicting as the most likely to appear during the Disney and Marvel Games Showcase. First, let’s start by talking about the games that have either been officially confirmed or teased as ones that will be showing up at the event.
Disney Dreamlight Valley
The upcoming life-sim adventure game, Disney Dreamlight Valley, is confirmed to be showing up at the event though what precisely they plan on showing is a bit of a mystery. Early access for the game begins three days before the showcase, with the Dreamlight Valley announcing that characters from The Lion King and Toy Story will be coming in the first two updates. This means that an announcement of when we can expect this, and possibly even more characters, is conceivable.
Dreamlight Valley is shaping up to be an amazing adventure; thus, any more information on what we can expect for its future is exciting. Twinfinite has a review for the early access game, so feel free to click on this link if you’re interested in reading more about our thoughts on the Valley.
Disney Mirrorverse
The showcase’s teaser hints that this few months-old mobile game will be shown off in some capacity, though to what extent is unknown. It’s very likely that we’ll see more guardians being announced for this free-to-play game, but what else Disney Mirrorverse could show is up in the air.
Disney Mirrorverse is actually a pretty fun game to play, especially if you have time to spend on it, and it’s always fun to see what the app’s reimagining of Disney characters looks like, so it should be fun to get some information at the showcase.
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga DLC
The latest entry into the Lego Star Wars series came out back in April; however, there are rumblings of more DLC that will be coming to the game. As for what a showcase on an already released complete game may offer, there is plenty of room for DLC, given that the game has primarily stuck to including the live-action adaptations of the characters and hasn’t included the latest Disney+ shows either.
Also, there have yet to be any new levels added Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, which is certainly understandable with how the game already has an immense amount of them, but that doesn’t mean the developers can’t add them in the future. Whatever the case may be, there are some straightforward ways to proceed with Lego Star Wars, making for a lot of possibilities when it comes to what DLC’s Traveler’s Tales may announce at the showcase.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns
Midnight Suns was supposed to release this October but was unfortunately delayed into sometime next year. Hopefully, at the showcase, we will see more about why this may have happened and that the game is still on track to be fantastic. While we do know that Midnight Suns will presumably be at the showcase, what precisely is going to be announced or shown about Midnight Suns is unclear. Though we may get more looks at the gameplay and characters, this would probably be much more general than what the game’s YouTube channel has already been doing. Let’s hope that we’ll at least get a better idea of when exactly we can expect Midnight Suns to be playable.
