Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 meanwhile he will present us his first level for the occasion. The next generation game from DC Comics, Gotham Knightsa head will also pass during the event, just like Cuphead: the delicious last dish (which will also be present in Tribeca games in the foreground), the first game from the studio of Aaryn Flynn (formerly Bioware) Nightingale, the JRPG One Piece Odyssey, the free-to-play Warframe or even Planet of Lana, also unveiled during last year’s Summer Game Fest.

Devolver Digital Marketing Marketing countdown
Devolver Digital has got us used to it extravagant and often very funny lessons. With its presentation video, again this year Devolver uses all his sarcasm to mock the industry while introducing us to upcoming titles that will delight fans of indie games. This year we should see in particular Cult of the Lamb, a game expected for this year that we can therefore expect a release date. The publisher promised it to us four new game announcements, we therefore expect surprises. Either way, don’t miss the Devolver lecture that is always worth watchingespecially to end an exciting evening for video game fans like us!
