Summer Game Fest Events Showcase Upbeat and Cozy Indie Games
It’s another busy day of Summer Game Fest events, and this time around, we have three streams to look forward to. The Wholesome Direct, Future Games Show, and OTK Games Expo will run back to back, and all these exciting streams will be available for you to watch starting at 12 PM ET.
Wholesome Direct is set to kick things off with a parade of nearly 80 indie games with a focus on cozy and upbeat titles. The showcase promises to highlight the incredible range of themes, styles, and perspectives that games have to offer. One notable game that guests can look forward to seeing is “Unpacking.” Developer Witch Beam has announced a big surprise that won’t be an expansion, but a feature that fans have long been eager to see come to life.
At 1 PM ET, it’s time for the much-awaited Future Games Show, with Yuri Lowenthal (Peter Parker), and Laura Bailey (Mary Jane Watson), the talented stars of Insomniac’s Spider-Man games, taking up the hosting duties. The show will run for around 70 minutes and will feature more than 50 multi-format games. The stream will include over 10 world premieres and a spotlight on VR titles. Fans will get an inside look at some of the most exciting games, including “Lords of the Fallen,” “Stray Gods,” in which Laura Bailey stars, “Warhaven,” “Pacific Drive,” and “C-Smash VRS.”
Last, but certainly not least, the OTK Games Expo will be a showcase from One True King, a collective of prominent content creators. Members of the group will feature dozens of games in the exposition, including 30 new indie titles. The stream will take place on OTK co-founder Asmongold’s Twitch channel.
