Time for another sorry week of heaving news-fuel into the Maw’s thousand-and-one gullets and urgh, what’s that brooding stench? It reeks of embargoes in here. The air is foul with it. This week is the week of the inauguralTriple-I Initiative showcase, aka the IIIIs, aka a 45-minute dollop of trailers and announcements from such studios as Slay The Spire creators MegaCrit andDarkest Dungeondevelopers Red Hook. We know of a couple of the announcements in advance; others, we’ll learn about alongside you on 10th April.
There won’t just be game announcements this week, of course. In a shocking twist with unforeseeable implications, people are actually releasing games too. Here are a few we think might be OK-to-brilliant: “Lofi Girl: The Game"Spirit City: Lofi Sessions(8th April); arty sniper festChildren Of The Sun(9th April); LovecraftianFreelancerhomageUnderspace(early access, 10th April); third-person stealth fantasyEreban: Shadow Legacy(10th April); isometricMad Max-alotBroken Roads(10th April); swoopy cosy MMOSky: Children of the Light(early access, 10th April); mythological Chinese roguelikeLotus Lantern: Rescue Mother(12th April).
Our live coverage of this event has finished.
