Devolver Digital’s keynote events are known for their unique approach to showcasing indie games, and the Summer Game Fest 2024 was no exception. The publisher focused on a select few indie titles that offered a diverse range of gaming experiences. From a game about navigating through an interdimensional catastrophe to an expansion that adds even more quirkiness to Cult of the Lamb, there was something for every type of gamer.
One of the standout reveals was Possessor, a side-scrolling action game created by the developers of Solar Ash and the Hyper Light games. The game follows Luca and Rehm as they navigate a quarantined city ravaged by an interdimensional disaster. Players must learn to collaborate with their less-than-cooperative counterpart to survive the chaos. With its gorgeous visuals and challenging gameplay, Possessor promises to be an exhilarating gaming experience.
Another exciting announcement was the upcoming release of Tenjutsu, a retro-style game from Deepnight Games. Players assume the role of a renegade yakuza navigating through the criminal underworld in a pixelated environment. With fast-paced action and engaging gameplay, Tenjutsu is sure to captivate fans of classic arcade games. The game is set to launch in 202X, staying true to its nostalgic aesthetic.
Kickstarter, a first-person shooter with a unique twist, caught the attention of many viewers. Developed by Free Lives, the studio behind Broforce and Cricket Through the Ages, this game combines shooting with kicking and sneaker collecting. With a blend of humor and violence, Kickstarter promises to offer a wild and entertaining gaming experience when it releases this summer.
The Crush House offers a fresh take on the strategy genre by immersing players in the world of producing a reality TV show set in 1999. While the concept may seem light-hearted, there are darker mysteries lurking beneath the surface. Players can explore the house at night to uncover these secrets, adding an element of suspense to the gameplay. Developed by Nerial, the studio behind the acclaimed Reigns series, The Crush House is set to deliver a unique and engaging gaming experience.
In addition to showcasing new indie games, Devolver Digital also unveiled new content for two of its popular titles. Cult of the Lamb, a charming cult simulator, is receiving the Unholy Alliance expansion on August 12th. This update includes new quests, gear, and items, along with a co-op mode for players to enjoy with friends. The Talos Principle 2 is also getting an expansion called Road to Elysium on June 14th, introducing new challenges and chapters for players to explore.
Devolver Digital’s presence at Summer Game Fest 2024 was filled with exciting announcements and reveals that catered to a wide range of gaming preferences. From visually stunning action games to quirky indie titles, there was something for everyone to look forward to.
