New trailers and chats with the developers of all the award nominees
The Tribeca Film Festival has nothing to do with E3, aside from the fact that it’s going on right now. Oh, and they invited eight upcoming narrative-focused games to be involved this year for their first game award category. Several of the bunch,Sable,Harold Halibut,Kena: Bridge Of Spirits, and more are games we’re quite looking forward to around these parts. Regardless of opinion on video games at film festivals, Tribeca put together a neat showcase with some new trailers and developer interviews for all eight of the entries.
This is the first time that Tribeca are offering a games award category, the organisers say. For my money, they’ve actually picked a pretty swell group. The trailer for the showcase is down below, in case you want a quick sizzle reel version before you tuck in. The full showcaseis over here.
Sableis in there, theMoebius-inspired adventure game that we’ve been seeing a lot more of in the past week. It announced aSeptember release datejust yesterday, which was swell to hear. The showcase from today has some extra nice chat from Sable’s developers and writers and a even more hoverbiking and exlporing to absorb.

I’m particularly excited for action adventureKena: Bridge Of Spirits, which I got to play recently. It’s an impressive first game from a former animation studio, from what I got to try. You can spot a couple of the puzzles and boss fights I got to see in this new showcase footage.
Retro-future handmade space aventureHarold Halibutis in the mix as well. The showcase brings some additional insight into the handmade side of all Harold’s sets, and how its characters were animated. It’s still fascinating!
As for the awards bit, Tribeca say:
It’s a swell selection of games they’ve pulled together. That, and I’m always up for any chance for developers to talk mini-doc style about their projects.
