Double Fine and iam8bit’s latest indie-focussed Day of the Devs showcase has been and gone, offering a closer look at a variety of new titles heading release-ward in the coming months. Most weren’t new new games in terms of reveals but there’s some cracking stuff in there, and, in case you missed it, here’s everything – from the sci-fi sequel-ing of Axiom Verge 2 to the cooking delights of Hot Pot – that put in an appearance during the show. Do note that the livestream features some extra gameplay not found in the accompanying videos below.
Axiom Verge 2
Developer Thomas Happ’s Axiom Verge 2, the sequel to his acclaimed 2005 retro-styled Metroid-a-like, returned with brand-new gameplay, highlighting some the abilities that new protagonist Indra – a melee-based character, in contrast to her gun-focussed predecessor – will wield, including new hacking abilities that’ll even let players complete avoid boss battles. Happ also dropped the news that Axiom Verge 2 will also be coming to PlayStation 4 and PS5 alongside the previously announced Switch and PC versions.
