After a successful first showcase in April earlier this year, Galaxies is back with its premier autumn showcase, promising to bring new info on a wealth of new games, with exclusive announcements, world premiers, and much more besides. If you’re interested in smaller games with unique and interesting angles, you should do yourself a favour and tune into next week’s showcase.
If you’re keen to learn more about what the Galaxies team has been cooking up – with new announcements from the likes of Nacon, Saber Interactive, Team17, and more – here’s what you need to know.
How to Watch
You can tune in on Twitch or YouTube, on 23rd October at 8pm GMT/ 9pm CEST / 12pm PST / 3pm EST to see what’s due to arrive in the coming weeks, months and years. The event will be hosted once again by friend of VG247, Jane Douglas, returning after her stellar work in the showcase earlier this year. If you’d rather stay on VG247, you’ll be able to watch the showcase on the homepage.
What to Expect
The biggest surprise of the presentation will be a trio of reveals of some anticipated games: there’s an open-world survival/crafting title from Unifiq, PlaySide Studios will show off a new Dumb Ways to Die game for PC and Console (a series which has been confined to mobile and Meta Quest), and we’ll get a first look at MOUSE: PI For Hire (an animated FPS that brings the world of crime noir to ’30’s cartoons – it looks really great).
Elsewhere, Team 17 is showing up with three indie titles and Nacon has a release date reveal for Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss, and a new look at Edge of Memories (which we enjoyed when we played it at Gamescom). Horror experts Blumhouse Games will also be at the event to talk about its games and show off a new trailer for Sleep Awake.
Speaking of horror, if you’re a Dead by Daylight player, Behaviour Interactive will have exclusive Twitch Drops available to all Galaxies Showcase viewers, focused on the game’s newest update, Sinister Grace.
Also expect announcements from Secret Mode, Fireshine, Owlcat Games, Noodle Cat Games, Big Fan Games (coming in with more Boltgun 2 info,) and ESDigital Games and Far Far Games present a brand-new trailer for Bylina, a skill-based action-RPG based on Slavic legends.
