Developed by Pigeons at Play and published by Devolver Digital, Mycopunk is comfortable with the irreverent tone of the publisher's portfolio. While there's a striking beauty to the lo-fi visuals of New Atlas when you land, covered with textures the team describe 🅘to me as "dirty Moebius" (the celebrated French comic artist and writer), it's just as at home letting you combine rude hand gestures with various dance emotes.

Fun guy

V꧙ery much a co-op game at heart, going hands-on with Mycopunk also means doing rude gestures to other players. Playing Mycopunk, I'm only currently able to access a Cleanup Detail mission and a Planetary Defense mission. The forme꧋r begins with challenging us to clear up big wads of gunk on a pipe; the latter begins with challenging us to clear up big wads of gunk on power relays (both using our guns). There's a lot of gunk in Mycopunk.

Naturally each mission evolves a bit from there. In the first one, there are periodically larger wads of gunk that can defend themselves from our aggressive gun-first cleaning. The second gets a bit mo𓃲re involved, having a giant railgun drop from the sky we need to protect then power on so i♉t can blast a rival corporation's ship out of the air. As you'd expect, in both you need to call in an escape pod to extract at the very end. My so-called "colleagues" were happy to leave me behind. This is why you can call your co-op partners "tossers" in-game, I suppose.

Considering enemies are essentially just shapes – mostly orbs – I actually quite like their designs in theory. With many limbs spiralling out of their (delicious?) orb centers, they're all dangerous whether they're simply slapping you around with tentacles or have great big lasers attached. In addition to shooting their spherical weak spots, you can shred through their limbs to knock their attacks out of commission. Except, removed limbs can be picked up by other enemies, meaning you need to be careful to disarm and get killshots quickly. This carries over to how you revive allies too – you'll be split in two on death, wa💦iting for an ally to physically bring your halves back together.

What I'm less keen on during my limited 𝓰time with Mycopunk is how relentless enemies are, constantly spawning and firing a barrage of attacks at you once you're a little way through a mission. Obviously, trying to stay on top of enemy waves is part of the point in a co-op shooter like this, but there's often little time to breathe.

It means that of the four class types – Glider, Scrapper, Bruiser, and Wrangler – the ones with the most mobility seem 𓃲to have the biggest advantage just to create space. In the couple of games I play, Glider's ability to super-dash long distances seems to outclass Bruiser's shields in utility. Enemies can get quite big and complex, and there's a satisfaction to delimbing the biggest boys out there that's undercut a little by the sheer amount of smaller fry.

Out on a limb

There's a selection of quirky weapons too, though limited to just four in my hands-on (plus grenades). There's a rifle that charges up a powerful laser as you shoot. Onཧe that hurls mini-rockets into the air that then descend. Cleverly, ammo is handled by feeding energy between your two main guns, meaning you need to balance using both. However, like with above, the simple damage-over-time weapons seemed to be the most effective at cleaving through enemies, wi🐷th the stranger ones that looked more fun not doing as great a job cleaning up the big waves. There's likely to be a lot of balancing adjustments from this early build – I'd love more reason to get creative.

The structure of Mycopunk – dropping in to clear variation co-op mission types – will be familiar to a lot of players. It's the same rhythm of play as something like Helldivers 2 or Deep Rock Galactic, with the tongue-in-cheek anti-corp tone along the lines of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lethal Company. Mycopunk brings a colorful aesthetic to the table alongside pleasingly responsive action, but from just these mission types I'm still not completely sold on how well it stands out from the competition (though plenty of modes weren't a💞vaila𓆏ble for me to play at this point). Mycopunk can be a good time, but so are the other games I mentioned.

I appreciate how quick some of the missions can be to complete. While Helldivers 2 can be the same, it's also easy to end up spending perhaps too much time hunting down optional objectives with randoms. With that said, the pace of enemy waves and perhaps the too-open nature of New Atlas in th♚e maps I get to play can make the action a bit overwhelming. Rarely in Mycopunk do you get the chance to regroup with co-op partners and plan for the next objective, something that Deep Rock Galactic excels by the nature of its cavern-by-cavern approach. Mission objectives, on the over hand – in the limited types I've played – are a bit underwhelming. Go from A to B, interact with stuff, and deal with all the enemies chasing after you while you do so.

I'm looking forward to seeing more from Mycopunk. Shooting out enemy꧙ limbs is a novel approach that can be fun when you've the space to approach its bigger foes tactically. I'm hoping it can lean into its strengths to become the really unique co-op shooter that it has the ambitions to be. Until then, my many-limbed arms will be crossed, waiting.

A is now available to play on Steam.

Cul🐭t of the Lamb is simultaneously one of the cutest and darkest games we've seen in a minute, and its background and lush aesthetic make it ripe for deeper exploration. The First Verse follows the titular Lamb plus new character Nana as they fight bac⛎k against the theocratic Old Faith and build their own cult. 

Newsarama sat down with Alex and Troy to find out more about the new book and the f🔯uture of Cult of the Lamb comics...

Newsarama: What can you tease about the plot for Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse?

Alex Paknadel: I can tell you that it hews pretty closely to the game, so it's about a resurrected, sacrificed Lamb charge🥃d by a supernatural entity with starting a cult in its name and overthrowing a theocratic dictatorship in the proc🧜ess. Nice, light, fluffy stuff.

Troy Little: The cutest little nightmare you can imagine.

Tell us about the characters... Who do we follow in the series?

Alex: The central protagonist is the Lamb themselves, who was sacrificed by the followers of the tyrannical Old Faith to prevent a prophecy from being fulfilled. Brought back to life by the m꧋ysterious One Who Waits, the Lamb now has to battle the deadly acolytes of the Old Faith - including its frighteningly powerful Bishops - in order to establish a cult in their new master's name.

The secondary protagonist is a character designed for the comic. Their name is Nana, and they're a follower of the Lamb - one of the first, in fact. In many ways we follow the events of the story through Nana's eyes. They know the Lamb before the cult begins to turn into its own orthodoxy - its own sort of Oldไ Faith - so they're uniquely positioned to see tragedy unfold.

Troy: My contribution to this waไs when I was asked what animal the ඣfirst Follower should be. I voted for bunny. 

How did you both get involved with this series?

Alex: I was approached by Oni&aღpos;s Publisher Hunter Gorinson at New York Comic Con last year. I was completely unfamiliar with the game, but Devolver sent me a copy and I was instantly hooked. I just so happened to be conducting a deep dive into sacrifice and scapegoating for another project, so it aligned with my interests perfectly. It helps that the game is super fun, but it's so beautifully constructed and thought through, as well. I love stepping into a complete world like that.

Troy: I was portal deep into the multiverse of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rick & Morty when my editor Bess Pallares brought up the possibility of jumping on as artist for the Cult of the Lamb series. Having only a passing familiarity with the project, I took a dee🐲p dive in and played through the game. The look and vibe of the game really resonates with me, I just love the contrast and how dark it goes. Absolutely in my wheelhouse, so yes - I was very much onboard after that.

How has it been developing/expanding the series' mythology for the comic? Was it a case of filling in the gaps in established lore, or did you have lots of freedom?

Alex: There were guardrails, of course, but the Devolver Digital and Massive Monster guys have given us an extraordinary amounꦺt of creative latitude as far as the book's concerned. We're following the plot of the game fairl🏅y closely, but all the crunchy character work - the actual motivations and desires of the creatures you see in the game - is down to us. The Lamb gets to speak for themselves in our book. The heretics have their reasons for following the Old Faith.

Troy: It's a real blast♔ for me to be the first to take this expanded narrative of the Lamb and bring them to life on the page. It's not just a walk through of the game, it's so much more. Alex has done an outstanding job -🌃 I'm totally invested in the plight of this forsaken creature. Fans of the game are going to revel in this dark tragedy dressed in lambskin.

Cult of the Lamb exists somewhere on the axis of "cute" and "deranged" which is a fun but tricky tone to balance! How do you make sure that you get it right?

Alex: I felt like I had permission to let the cute elements speak for themselves and really cook on my own t♕erms.

Troy: I have a history of drawing iconic and cute characters with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Powerpuff Girls and my time on Rick & Morty have both my feet fully planted in the deranged department. Frankly, I'm pretty well placed🦋 to walk the knife's edge and ill𒊎ustrate this book. Well done, casting department! 

How has it been working together on this book?

Alex: Troy is elevating absolutely every panel to stratospheric heights. I had no idea how the imagery was going ꧃to translate to the page, and in less capable hands I'm sure it would have felt like a pale imitation of the game. Troy is a master craftsperson, however, so the book is very much its own (beautiful) animal. I'm being utterly sincere when I tell you every panel is a painting, and you can quote me on that. 

Troy: I'm going to quote you on that.

How closely have you been working with Devolver Digital and Massive Monster on the series?

Alex: We've been working very closely with them, but they're not looking over our shoulders. They have final approval over everything, which is as it should be, but they're in no way looking to micromanage us or dictate how the story we want to tell should unfold. It's all been 🐠astonishingly friendly and collegiate, and I hope Devolver Digital and Massive Monster are as proud of the book as we areಞ.

Troy: The great thing about the feedback I've got on the art is this: they know what they are looking for and can communicate it clearly. For me, it's made it easy to slip into their h🎉eadspace and deliver what I hope is on target. It's a bit of a dance in the beginning, but when you finally click and the trust falls in place, it's a wonderful thing.

What are your hopes for this first run of Cult of the Lamb comics?

Alex: First and foremost, I hope the fans of the game see a Lamb and a world they recognize. I hope my Lamb is their Lamb. Secondly, I hope the book enhances fans' enjoyment of the game. With that🍬 added context, I think the gameplay will become an even more emotionally rewarding experience. Finally, I hope it does well enough that we get to make more, because I am having the time of my life with these characters and this setting.

Troy: Everything Alex just said. We want to take the game you love 🍒and add layers to it, like a companion piece. I'd like to think it&apos♛;s also a strong stand alone story for those who haven't (yet!) played the game. The charm of the style instantly grabs you and the story puts its hooks in deep. Before you know it, you're part of the Cult.

The Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse is published by Oni Press. The pre-orꦚder Kickstarter campaign is . The campaign runs through April 11. All items included in the campaign will be fulfilledܫ to backers in December 2024.

"It’s up to you to adventure through this world to collect resources, build out your tower and the helpful machinations within, and push back the encroaching chaos."

Announced at this year's Devolver Digital Direct showcase and sporting th༺e most hilariously a🅠pt title, Galvanic Games revealed its demo for Wizard with a Gun through a trailer that oozes wild west-tinged charm.

According to the press release, Wiz🔯ard with a Gun's demo takes us to the end of a boss fight after completing The Imperium, the first of many biomes. "The full game will see players opening up more and more of the world with new biomes and even more complex crafting recipes and more imposing enemies," says publisher Devolver Digital. "Additionally, the game will support online cooperative play at launch."

Original story follows...

E3 2023 could be canceled altogether amid reports🌞 that even more publishers have dropped out, leaving the future of the once hallmark video game showcase in limbo.

A new report from claims both Sega and Tencent have pulled their E3 2023 appearances as rumors swirl about whether the event will happen at all. This comes a day after Ubisoft said it will skip this yওear's E3 and hold its own show instead.

IGN's report cites PR and publishing sources who say they aren't certain of anyone who is definitely attending E3 2023. These sources note that a lack of communication from both the ESA and organizer ReedPop only compounded their uncertainty about what to expect from the event. One source told IGN before Ubisoft had canceled that "there's n♋o possible way this show can happen."

The report goes on to say there are other publishers which have decided not to attend this year's conference but have yet to make official announcements. Part of the problem, apparently, is that massive disruptions caused by the Covid pandemic have changed the way publishers produc♏e, announce, and release games, and this has made hands-on demos for summer showcases less of a priority. Bandai Namco has only committed to the summer Play Days event, for example, and Devolver Digital🏅 is still planning its own Devolver Direct. 

Many publishers have also yet to fully rebuild their events teams and budgets after they were dramatically cut in the wake of the pandemic. Companies are seemingly more comfortable allocating resources for events that aren't in flux, as E3 has been for the last few years🍎.

Of course, we learned back in January that Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox would all be no-shows at 2023's E3 𝓀showcase. At the ti🐓me, we were somewhat confident that the event would soldier on without the Big Three, but that's looking less certain by the day.

We've reached out to the ESA and ReedPop for comment and will update this🐻 story if we hear back.

E3 or not, here are all of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games of 2023 we can't wait to play.

Inscryption - described by publisher Devolver Digital as "an inky black card-based odyssey that blends the deckbuilding roguelike, escape-room style puzzles, and psychological horror into a blood-laced smoothie" - has been available on PC since last year, and PlayStation since August, but this marks its debut 🤪on Ni🎉ntendo's handheld system.

Not come across it before? Inscryption is officially the first game to win Game of the Year at both the GDC awards and the IGF awards, the accolades coming just weeks after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Inscryption passed one million copies sold. 

Securing the Independent Game Festival's Game of the Year puts Inscryption alongside heavy-hitters like Outer Wilds, Night in t😼he Woods, and Minecraft, and it was also a recurring nominee across other categories such as꧃ excellence in narrative, excellence in design, and excellence in audio, too.

Likewise, in taking the top prize at GDC, Inscryption🐎 sits among juggernauts that include The Last of Us, God of War, and Breath of the Wild.

As Austin summarized for us at the time, "it's easy to see wh🐓y Inscryption has been so widely praised and recognized". 

"It starts off as a grim and clever card game and quickly evolves into a compelling meꦿta-narrative which uses the fourth wall like a punching bag that it pummels with your reeling brain," Austin said. 

"Without wishing to spoil, it's actually several excellent card games in one, but it's the characters that keep you coming back to its seemingly bottomless well of unraveling stories. And to think it all starts with an army of dead squirrels."

As pointed out by Twitter user and scientist @,🙈 who retweeted a screenshot of the game, it’s actually scientifically accurate that donkey-looking character Maar wants to "eat a meal of poop."

If you didn’t know, as Dr. Conway explains, "monogastric hindgut fermenting species" such as donkeys, horses, rabbits, and more, regularly engage in the activity of 'coprophagy' aka💮 "eating their own poo nuggets." What this means is𒐪 that if the animal gets a bit peckish, it’s not actually that weird for them to snack on their own droppings so they can absorb any nutrients they may have missed the first time around.

We’ll end the poop talk here and talk here and instead tell you more about Cult of the 🔴Lamb which was finally released into the world last week. Developed by Massive Monster and published by Devolver Digital, Cult of the Lamb is a rogue-like which sees players take on the role of a possessed lamb as they are tasked with starting their own cult. Daily responsibilities include pe♛rforming dark rituals, giving sermons to your flock, and destroying any non-believers. 

Cult of the Lamb has understandably established its own cult following already with the developer putting out thanking fans just yesterday. "The﷽ support you've given us has been unbelievable!", the tweet read. Fans of the game, and the scientific fact featured above, have also expressed their love via some fan-art shared to the . Peek at your own risk.

Earlier today on March 9, Devolver Digital debuted a new trailer for the samurai action epic Trek to Yomi at a PlayStation State of Play show🐽case. The trailer, which you can see for yourself just below, sets out the story of the new game developed by Flying Wild Hog, and crucially reveals the new release window of Spring 2020, meaning there shouldn't be long to wait until we ca😼n play this for ourselves.

Chiefly, we get a good look at the set up of the story for Trek to Yomi. It appears our protagonist is sidelined and drawn away from their home village, during which a ruthless leader attacks and slaughters citizens while they're gone. This leads our hero on a journey of revenge, which me🍌ans cutting through swarms of bandits and other enemies in the process.

Trek to Yomi was first announced nearly a year ago. Back in June 2021, publisher Devolver Digital revealed the side-scrolling action game for launch on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles alike. So don't worry, although the new Trek to Yomi trailer showed up at a PlayStation-hosted event, it's actually comꦇing to PC and Xbox consoles as well.

Elsewhere in the new showcase, we saw two brand new action-R♈PGs from Square Enix (neither of which were Final Fantasy 16, unfortunately), and a new dinosaur-shooting IP from Capcom. We know that sounds a suspicious amount l🎉ike Dino Crisis, but Capcom is letting the old series lie dormant, bringing us a brand new action-packed shooter instead.

Check out our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming PS5 games guide for a full look at all the other titles coming to Sony's new-gen console.

Publisher Devolver Digital put out a teaser🍨 trailer for the new Serious Sam game on its Twitter account, innocently asking "what if" it revealed the game next week and put it out some time in January. The trailer itself shows se♍ries protagonist Sam "Serious" Stone arriving on an icy shoreline in a small boat, complaining about the weather - but also noting that nothing warms him up like kicking ass.

We can't glean too much from the teaser, aside from the fact that Sam's headed somewhere cold and plans to kick ass when he gets there, and the latter point should be a given by now. Serious Sam 3: BFE was a prequel to the original game, and Serious Sam 4 was a prequel to that, so there's a good chance💃 we'll be hea🌳ded even further back into Sam's origins as the musclebound, gun-toting savior of humanity.

Ultimately, the next Serious Sam game's🌺 place in the overarching storyline will probably not be the most important thing - shooting countless aliens as they nigh-endlessly swarm toward you will likely be the primary matter at hand. In any case, it sounds like we won't have to wait very long to find out more.

Find even more games that are on the way soon in our lineup of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games 2022, as well as the GR+ team's personal picks for the games we're looking forward to playing in 2022.

The news🎐 broke yesterday on October 26 from publiཧsher Devolver Digital, who announced the delay to Shadow Warrior 3 through the small trailer seen just below. While Flying Wild Hog's sequel was always penciled in to launch at some point in 2021, it never actually locked down a specific release date, so perhaps the announcement of a delay into next year shouldn't come as too much of a surprise.

If you're unfamiliar with Shadow Warrior 3, it&apo🅠s;s basically taking the hyper-violent and rapid gunplay of the 2016 Doom reboot and turning it up to 11. We've seen a slew of increasingly chaotic trailers for Flying Wild Hog's sequel at this point, all of which show protagonist Lo Wang zipping around a battlefield with various over-the-top weaponry, slicing and dicing demonic foes as he goes.

It's just not guns that Lo Wa🍷ng's bringing to the fight in Shadow Warrior 3, because precision strikes with a ka💮tana are vital to survival. There's also gloriously gory finishing moves to pull off in the sequel on a stunned enemy, a teaser of which you can see in the release date delay trailer just above, when Wang rips off a demon's arm and prepares to beat them to death with it.

Shadow Warrior 3 might've just been delayed to 2022, but it's still nonetheless somethi𓂃ng to be excited about on the horizon for next year. ♍When it does eventually launch, Flying Wild Hog's sequel will be available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, as well as PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S through backwards compatibility.

Just below, you can see the original 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Death's Door pitch video, which developer Acid Nerve showed to publisher Devolver Digital three years ago. Devolver repromoted the pitch video earli𓂃er today on August 19, showing off how far the game h🌠ad come ever since the publisher first saw it in the very early stages of development at the Manchester-based studio in the UK.

"I think the pitch was mainly to say 'Look, we can make 3D a﷽ction feel good in the same way that our pixel art games have,'" Death's Door sound designer and comp🌺oser David Fenn explained in an email to GamesRadar+. "We also had a full gameplay demo that was around 10 minutes long, and established a lot of the core mood and feeling of journeying through the world that persists in the final game," the developer continued.

The extended video was the culmination of everything Acid Nerve had produced for Death's Door over three months, Fenn explained. This video takes the player through t🧸he introductory Graveyard area "with a toಞuch of atmosphere-building and exploration, a few battles with a couple of different enemy types in a Crypt interior," Fenn revealed.

Acid Nerve knew they wanted to show this pitch to Devolver straight away. Fenn explains that the st🐎udio wanted to work with the publisher again after collaborating on Titan Souls in 2015, and were deliberately seeking to developer a "bigger and more ambitious 3D game." The developer would get their wish, and Death's Door would be published by Devolver earlier this year in 2021.

If you haven't tried out Acid Nerve's game, we'd highly recommend it. Death's Door is available right now on PC, Xbox One, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series S, a⭕nd brilliantly blends hectic and energetic combat with a sombre, moving storyline of life and death.

Wizard with a Gun wܫas just announced during Devolver Digitial's E3 presentation.

Coming from Galvanic Games, Wizard with a Gun is a simple-yet-aptly-named title. It's described as a multiplayer survival sandbox adventure, which translates to looking something like Don'♏t Starve, but with some alchemy and Western movie DNA mixed in.  

The game𝓰 is set to land at an unspecified date in 2022 for PC and Nintendo𒐪 Switch. 

The traᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚi🎃ler for the game sets a really unique tone, with a cutesy yet threatening aura. It's full of standoffs and the dry desperate climate of the west, just with a lot more magic and area of effect bullets. It's a really striking style and really helps differentiate the game. 

Galvanic Games is known best for its previous work, Gurgamoth, Some Distant Memory and the Cyanide & Happiness game, Rapture Rejects. Each game plays wildly different but each has a very distinct visual styl🍎e that the developer seems to be bringing to their new game. 

Wizard with a Gun's page describes the game as: "An online cღooperative sandbox survival game set in a magical wilderness wrought with dangerous creatures and arcane mysteries. Embark on a journey alone or with friends to collect, craft, and outfit your wizard however you see fit as you explore the unknown."

It&apos♚;s said to have a pretty extensive set of features that all seemed to be designed to let you express your magical creativity. By collecting resources from the wild west, you'll be able to craft certain kinds of magical ammunition that will all in꧂teract with the world in a variety of ways.

This world will also offer something new every time you play as it will feature a ton of randomly-generated spaces for you to explore. Deserts, swamps, tundra, and prairie are all listed 🔴as possible biomes, so there will be a lot to get lost in. 

There will also be an element of experimentation, which will allow you try spell combinations that will give you powerful abilities and affect enemies in different ways. It seems it might be time to dabble in some alchemy. This looks like it could be a really neat little indie title, especially if you're playing with friends.

that it is publishing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Death's Door and is slated to release this year. A more precise release date is being revealed this weekend during the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Devolver Digital showcase at E3 2021. The game from developer Acid Nerve lets players control a crow that reaps souls for a living. That is until a s𝕴oul the crow is ass꧙igned to get stolen and the hunt for the thief begins.

The trailer shows off stylistic and gloomy-looking cutscenes before moving to the isometric andꦑ action-packed gameplay. From the looks of it, there will be a lot of giant beasts and demi-gods to defeat 🔜and colorful characters to meet as you can see in the character montage . As players go deeper into the story, they'll uncover a dark narrative and secrets.

Death's Door will allow players to make use of melee weapons, arrows, and magic. The gameplay shown highlights some of these attacks with some of them looking devastating. It's also odd to see a crow wielding a sword as well. It's detailed that "mistakes are punished and victory is rewarded" and that there are character stats and abilities to upgrade as your progress. Death's Door is to launch on PC, Xbox One, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series S. It'll also be optim🅠ized for Xbox Series X with 4K Ultra HD and 60fps being supp🎉orted.

Devolver Digital's showcase this weekend doesn't have any further confirmations as to what to expect to be revealed. However, in its E3 announcement, viewers think they've spotted "Hotline Miami 3" on an out-of-focus whiteboard which if true, could mean a new iteration in the bloody and violent series. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fall Guys is also on the way to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox and Nintendo Switch so we&♔apos;ll probably see something about th🌞at as well as a new season. 

We'll also probably see something more from the 澳洲幸运💯5开奖号码历史查询:reverse city-building title Terra Nil. The showcase will be taking place on the same day as the Guerrilla Collective, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ubisoft Forward, and Gearbox Entertainment showcases.

Be sure to have a look at what other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Xbox Series X games are on the way this year.

It seems that the indie publisher has now set its flag, joining the likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft and Nintendo who have already outlined their conf⛦erence plans. , Devolver Digital said: “The future begins again on June 12.” The image appea♍rs to feature Mahria Zook, who has presented the show in previous years.

For eagle-eyed r🌃eaders or just those who can read blurry text, you might see a tease at one of the brand’s biggest franchises hidden in the picture that accompanied the tweet. 

In thܫe top left corner, it looks like the red writing might say 'Hotlin♊e Miami' 3 followed by another harder-to-read line. 

Now, it’s hard to say exactly what this might mean. It could of course be a straight tease of an imminent announcement at the conference. That being said Devolver Digꦓital could also just be trolling expectant gamers who are desperate for a new entry in the franchise. That certainly would be within their humor. Or maybe it’s a double bluff. It’s impossible to say what the significance of this tease is until we final𒁃ly see the press conference. 

While it’s not known what games the publisher plans to bring, they do have an impressive string ofꦗ franchises to pull from including Shadow Warrior, Absolver, Reigns, Exit the Gungeon, and a whole load more. 

Devolver always brings chaotic energy to the E3 press conference proceedings and are a welcome shift of tone compar🍰ed to other straight-laced media briefings. Last year, the pub🧜lisher even brought a playable version of E3 with its ‘marketing simulator’ Devolverland which allowed players to explore an abandoned convention centre and check out upcoming games.

Whether Hotline Miami 3 does make an appearance or not, the publisher has an incredible knack of finding distinct titles with a lot of attitude and flair that always makes checking ♛out what 💦they are bringing to the table worth it.

In Devolver Digital’s Olija, our pointy prayers have at last been answered – because in this retro-inspired sidescroller, the almighty harpoon finally takes ce💫ntre stage. 

Home’s where the harpoon is

It’s hard to overstate the harpoon’s importance to Olija, really. Thrust into the hands of our shipwrecked protagonist, Lord Faraday, this once ancient fishing implement becomes not only a suitably badass killing tool but more impo⛄rtantly - a crucial method of transportation. Using a tap of ‘A’ Faraday launches his harpoon across Olija’s eerie environments, with a second press of ‘A’ sending him instantly hurtling🎀 through the air after it. It’s a brilliantly satisfying mechanic, allowing the player to speedily skewer themselves into enemies, discover new horizons, and if you’re anything like us – send poor old Faraday flying to his death. Sorry mate.

Much like the alluring off-screen environments in the NES Zelda outings, hurtling fearlessly upwards into the unknown can often land a frowning Faraday in a previously unseen part of the map –rewarding him with a trove of tantalizing treasures. It’s a swift almost Nightcrawler-esque mechanic a🔜nd one that transforms the genre’s usual sluggish traversal into lightning-fast leaps across levels.

The pursuit of harpooniness

Still, you need a reason to be zipping around holding a harpoon ( or so we’re tಌold), and thankfully, the world Faraday inhabits is as thrilling as his hedonistic harpoon haulage. Upon our protagonist’s aforementioned prologue plummet into the depths of the ocean, the battered settler Lord Faraday suddenly finds his countrymen dead – and himself alone in a strange, unforgiving land. As he attempts to find his way back home, our hero must discover the mysteries that await him in this sinister ne🌟w land–  one pixelized plane at a time.

It’s a setup that sees players discovering this grimdark ꧂new world, as they make their way across everything from abandoned temples to fiend-infested forests. Faraday’s new home is a brutal one, with hair-raising s🤡ound design and detailed animations bringing the horrors of this gloomy land to life with some intriguing elements of lore littered throughout Olija. Stop us if you’ve heard this all before.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a harpoon

Thankfully, this isn’t the same oldVania. What separates Devolver Digital’s latest from the countless other brooding 2D sidescrollers flooding digital storefronts is Olija’s hugely satisfying combat. Where Metroidvania and spooky settings are, of course, familiar bedfellows, unlike its peers, there is a real weight to combat here. ౠWhere many in the genre ape the sluggish and sadistic Dark Souls, Olija delights in giving the player a more snappy and powerful-feeling protagonist. Even in the early🌳 game where you’re severely lacking in character upgrades, refreshingly, Faraday is no pushover. Where a single hit in many sidescrollers sees players limply crumpling to their deaths, Olija instead relishes in making you feel like a badass. In fact, for much of its playtime, Olija shares more in common with a Platinum Games-esque power fantasy than say, Hollow Knight.

Thanks to the game’s altogether more reasonable difficult💛y, Olija becomes more about getting into a swashbuckling sense of flow than an endless cycle of frustration – resulting in a much shorter adventure than most of its peers. Yet thanks to its genuinely eerie atmosphere, satisfying harpoon mechanics and intriguing world, Olija’s sea-faring voyage is one that’s more than worth taking.

Olija is out now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Responding to one follower's reply, the Game Pass account simply said "it's coming" with regards to Fall Guys on Game Pass. The Verge reporter Tom Warren shared this exchange on T🎉witter and Devolver quickly responded to it, s💎imply that "that's incorrect." In another , the publisher clarified that Fall Guys is not planned for the PC or Xbox version of Game Pass. 

The official Fall Gu🐬ys Twitter also the conversation, so there's clearly no confusion between developer Mediatonic and Devolver. In a separate , the Fall Guys account explained that "there has been a bit of a mixup – Fall Guys is not coming to Xbox Game Pass." Xbox has seemingly deleted its original Instagram reply, but the Xbox Game Pass Twitter has not issued any sort of update. 

Communication breakdowns aside, while Fall Guys isn't coming to Xbox Game Pass, it's technically still possible that the game show battle royale is coming to Xbox itself based on the targeted wording of Devolver and Mediatonic's tweets. We don't have any official word on this, but after a runaway launch on PlayStation and Steam, it wouldn't be strange for Fall Guys to expand to a new platform. That said, it would be strange for the Game Pass Instagram to mention a general Xbox release. We've reached out to Devolver and Mediatonic representatives for more information and will update our🦹 reporting if we hear back.

There's a brand new horror game on PS4 and Xbox One: the once PC-exclusive Stories Untold. First launched on PC in 2017, Stories Untold went mobile with a Switch release in January. Now you can get it for about $10ও on PS4 or Xbox One, and it comes with a remastered version of the first episode.

Just in time for Halloween, the '80s-themed "narrative-driven experimental adventure game" is a mash-up of different genres separated into four distinct episodes. The House Abandon is a text-based experience where you select from a list of prompts to investigate strange occurr🦂ences at the protagonist's family's holiday home. You can see some of The House Abandon playing out in the trailer up top.

The Lab Conduct tasks you with performing various experiments on a mysterious artifact, The Station Process is a puzzler where you use a radio and microfilm reader to decipher codes for radio frequencies, and The Last Session ties together the events of each episode into one cohesive, and rather unexpected, story. When the game hit Switch 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:earlier in the year, GamesRadar's Connor Sheridan noted how "i🃏t goes to some odd and memorable places (both litera♉lly and metaphorically)."

As expected, the PS4 and Xbox One ports of Stories Untold features the same updated interface as the Switch version, which (thank gꦰod) means you d𝄹on't have to deal with some clunky on-screen keyboard.

Believe it or not, 2020 is on its way out the door already, but these are the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best upcoming games still to come later in the year.

Devolver Digital has released Game of Thrones: Tale of Crows, a new idle game for iOS and Apple Arcade that sees you take control oꦯf various Lords Co♊mmander of the Night's Watch

Being part of the shield that guards the realms of men, your job is to fortify the Wall with supplies and coordinate excursions into the wild and dangerous North. The in-game clock moves in real-time and doesn't stop when you close the app, meaning expeditions you order will con🍒tinue while you're offline. You can turn on notifications that alert you when something happens, or wait to find out when you open the game again.

"In the shadow of the Wall, your watch begins. Eight thousand years before Jon Snow took the Black, the Night🉐’s Watch was formed to secure the Wall and defend the border of Westeros against the perils of the North, and all that lies beyond. Into these untamed wilds, sworn brothers and their allies set out on rangings to face the dangers that would threaten the realm. But the Wall is a blade that cuts both ways," reads the description from the press release.

It actually looks surprisingly chill for a Game of Thrones mobile game. The trailer opens with an intimate conversation inside what's 🌳probably a super cozy tavern. Ale in-hand, your tablemate begins to tell the story of the Night's Watch. And even though season 8 divided fans, George RR Martin's world is so incredibly rich with history that I&a⛦pos;m more than obliged to sit down for an interactive lesson.

Developed by That Silly Studio, Game of Thrones: Tale of Crows is out now on Apple Arcade and iOS mobile dev😼ices. A release on Android has yet to 💫be announced.

Be the Lord Commander to make Jon Snow proud with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best phones for gaming in 2020.

•  . Basically a slow-mo acrobatic murder sim.  
•  . Time-bending 2D cyber samurai action.  
•  . Enter the Gungeon via isometric roguelike, then Exit the Gungeon via 2D roguelike.  
•  . Go ham on some guards to the tune of a dynamic jazz soundtrack. 
•  . Jump between dimensions as a bona fide ninja in this stellar 2D platformer.  
•  . Solve puzzles and maybe find yourself in the process. 
•  . Kill everything in sight using anything in sight in this top-down fever dream of a game.  
•  . It's like a shoot-'em-up roguelike, but with rocket boots, and in reverse.  
•  . Kill increasingly difficult bosses using a bow and just one arrow.   

Speaking of The Messenger: its developer, Sabotage Studios, is now working on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sea of Stars, a turn-based RPG which serves as a prequel story. I🦄ts Kickstarte🐼r campaign just ended, and it raised, oh, $1 million and change. So yeah, it looks great. 

Here are the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Switch indie games you can play right now. 

Founded in 1986, Sub Pop sought to cultivate and define the "Seattle Sound" and bring it to the rest of the world. You may know it as grunge music, as the label was responsible for popularizing bands like Mudhoney, Soundgarden, and the inimitable Nirvana. Since the '90s, the label has moved on to embracing a larger, more eclectic set of acts, publishing groups like the New Zealand-based comedy folk duo Flight of the Conchords, or even Ben Gibbard's electropop side-project, The Postal Service. But even as Sub P♓op expanded, its style st🤪ill had a unique flair. You know you're getting something unlike anything else when you pick up a Sub Pop record.

Games don't really have that sense of regionality, at least not in the way music does - there's no great burgeoning puzzle-platformer scene in the American Southwest, for instance. Development studios are found all over the world, and thanks to the internet, creators can collaborate across vast distances and share their w𒁃ork in ways that were unheard of just a few years ago. This can be a huge boon for independent devs, but it also means that it's harder than ever to stand out and be noticed if you don't have any backing.

Conversely, things have gotten progressively safer in the big-budget space. Publishers hedge their bets on sure-things, opting for guaranteed-to-sell sequels, rebooted critical darlings optimized for maximum nostalgic impact, or new properties that get focus tested to mitigate all risk. As fascinating as gaming can be, the industry can be surprisingly predictable, and it's hard to be really excited for new stuff when it all starts to look the same. Games like Mortal Kombat and Grand Theft Auto were𝕴 originally made to piss off our parents - now, they're storied franchises with carefully calculated 'brand management'.

So how do you find the really exciting stuff, the stuff built on passion and blood and tears without having to sift through a wasteland of options? You need someone who can look at all these games, pick the real choice ones, and shove them in as many faces as possible. You need someone to say: "You wanna play the cool shit? Yo꧃u wanna see where the future of gaming is headed? Take ꧒this home and crank it up to 11."

This is where Devolver Devolver comes in -🍃 the close🐽st thing to an indie record label our industry has.

Devolver's only been around for six years, but it's already made a name for itself as the place to find games that have passion and heart, that aren't afraid to take a gamble on an interesting concept. Games that maybe aren't guaranteed market successes. Games that are edgy wit♉hout 🌞having that word lose all meaning after marketing demographic meetings. Games that no one else is making. And what Sub Pop did for music, Devolver is doing the same for gaming: becoming a one-stop-shop for some of the most exciting, gut-wrenching, and downright interesting titles you can play right now.

Despite its humble beginnings as 𒀰the publisher for Croteam's run-backwards-and-shoot-stuff-simulator Serious Sam 3: BFE, it was Hotline Miami that became the small publisher's breakout hit - the "Nirvana" moment that put it on the map. Its neon-tinged, chunky pixel art made it look like a forgotten relic from the past; an NES cart long-since banned by government censors, stumbled upon by some lucky archivist and unleashed on an unsuspecting public decades later. Even though it seems graphically and aurally rooted in nostalgia, Hotline Miami is unlike anything we'd ever seen before - a hyper-violent feast for the senses.

A Devolver game can be many things. It can be a blood-soaked rampage of carnage like Shadow Warrior. It can be love-letter to arcade games of yesteryear like the World War 2-t꧃hemed Luftrausers. It can be a kooky/heart-breaking pigeon dating sim like Hatoful Boyfriend. It can even be a contemplative philosophical puzzler like The Talos Principle (which comes from the same developer that created the aforementioned ludicrous-gib-laden Serious Sam). Despite coming from completely different countries, genres, and art styles, each game has some unique, indefinable quality that makes them distinctly Devolver.

"It's ce🌸rtainly not a science but Devolver Digital is looking for games that are doing something new and are taking a risk in some form or fashi❀on to set itself apart," says Devolver co-founder Nigel Lowrie. "This doesn't mean it has to be revolutionary but the game needs to have an element or mechanic or some edge that strikes us in some indescribable way." And that doesn't necessarily mean a game has to be perfect to be worth publishing.

Games like Always Sometimes Monsters or Gods Will Be Wa♑tching are flawed, but they wear their flaws on their sleeves as a badge of honor; a little piece of humanity to shine through some rigidly defined lines of code. Always Sometimes Monsters forces you to experience homelessness first-hand - to have to decide whether your own sense of morality is in line with actually surviving a night alone on the streets. Gods Will Be Watching puts you through a series of increasingly more harrowing trials, where one false step - or a poor roll of the dice - can send you right back to the start of the level. They're not perfect games by any means, but they're deliberately designed this way, and they're confident in the way that they aim to express their themes. They prove that games don't have to be "fun" to be enjoyable, that games can express a wide range of emotions and elements of the human condition that aren't just about amassing a high score.

Some would decry this rawness of expression, this "punk rock" approach to game design as an excuse to make bad games, but Devolver would disagree. Much like how Sub Pop recorded its musicians in a deliberate way to cultivate a similar sound, so too does Devolver seek out games that make deliberate design choices and have the confidence to stick to them. "With our games," Nigel explains, "it's not a lo-fi art style or simple mechanic that defines the game or what it's capable😼 of doing as a complete work. Often those elements are by choice and not necessity as some might assume♕. [Developer] Acid Nerve could have layered Titan Souls with a progression system, character upgrades, and NPCs but we've all played that game before and that's not the point of Titan Souls. We're looking for games striving to be unique and a developer with a commitment to see that through."

Whether these games start out as traditional pitches - complete with demos and design documents - or as the result of an experimental game jam, there's a certain humanity found in all𒊎 of the games Devolver publishes, and it's the thread that connects each of these seemingly disparate titles under one banneꦿr. With the recent release of Hotline Miami 2 and Titan Souls, and upcoming games like the manic Not a Hero or comedic point-and-click Dropsy, Devolver continues to prove that there's a place for an indie game publisher in an industry where creation and self-publication is becoming easier than ever - but where standing out is just as hard as it ever was.

With so many different games all fighting for our at♛tention, publishers need to define and cultivate a unique voice more than ever. It's not only to attract attention over the wealth of choices; that voice draws fans in who are looking for something differen💮t, but may not know exactly what they're looking for. Sub Pop was able to do this with music by harnessing that "Seattle Sound." If there's one publisher in gaming that can capture the spontaneity and primal human spirit of Sub Pop and transfer it to the rigidly defined world of a computer screen, it's Devolver Digital.

Well, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hotline Miami didn't quite make its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:spring release window (happy ꦫsummer, northern hemisphere-ers!) for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita, but we can✨'t stay mad at it. Publisher Devolver Digital announced on the today that the hyper-violent top-down twitchy shooter will hit Sony's platforms on June 25.

Hotline Miami will cost $10, the same as its price on PC, and is a cross-buy title--meaning if you buy it on PS3, you also get it for Vita, and vice versa. Both versions come with trophies and leaderboards, and Vita players can even enable♔ touch-based lock-on targeting if they so desire.

Finally, PS3 and Vita players can unlock an exclusive new mask: Russell, the raging bull. Russell doesn't add alter the gameplay, but he does give Hotline Miami's distorted visual filter a stark monochromatic motif (aside from ♎the blood, of course).

Check out the upcoming 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number for more glitzy, gorey goodness.

Above: We're hoping for a Futurama Santa skin, too

It's fitting that Serious Sam should show up with one of the year's first notable Christmas bonuses: after all, this is a game that thrives on its 'old-skool' credibility, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:wacky seasonal add-ons were par for the course in the days Sam seeks to recreate. Bonus points for wait🐻ing until well after Thanksgiving, not to mention Sam's conspicuous reluctance to step into the role of Kris Kringle. If your local Mall Santa was packing a sidearm larger than most young children, you probably wouldn't suggest he remove his sunglasses either.
