Newness from Axiom Verge 2, Unbeatable and more

Indies! It’s nice to see the littler games take the spotlight during all the E3 festivities, a pleasant break from Ubisoft trying to make me care aboutWatch Dogsor something. This years' Day Of The Devs stream took place during the Summer Game Fest kickoff, giving some fresh glimpses at games likeAxiom Verge 2, Unbeatable,The Wandering Villageand more. If you missed the stream, fear not, here’s a big list of everything shown at the Day Of The Devs showcase.
Axiom Verge 2
Kicking off the stream was some new footage of Axiom Verge 2, the upcoming sequel to one ofthe best metroidvanias on PC. Developer Thomas Happ talked about some of the differences between the first game and the sequel. The new main character, Indra, uses a melee-focused combat style and is able to hack enemies. Happ adds that while the game is filled with bosses, it’s possible to complete Axiom Verge 2 without killing any of them. The game is coming to PC via theEpic Games Store, Switch and the PlayStations at some point “soon”.

Soup Pot
“Soup Pot is a chaotic and chilled cooking simulator,” developers Chikon Club said during the stream, which mostly describes my real life cooking experiences. Soup Pot looks like Cooking Mama but cooler, allowing players to cook hundreds of different regional recipes. The devs say they worked with chefs to make sure those recipes could be used in real life, plus you can’t fail anything. It looks and sounds well good, and it’s coming out some time this summeron Steamand Xbox Game Pass For PC.

Behind The Frame
Silver Lining Studio’s Behind The Frame is a game designed to look like an anime film, and it certainly succeeds in looking Studio Ghibi-esque. It’s first-person with some puzzley bits, and it’s about a painter preserving memories and uncovering secrets in her apartment. It has a few point-and-click aspects, and seems like a delightful slice-of-life kinda story. It has no set launch date, but is “coming soon"to Steam.

At the end of all that, Annapurna also announced their very own announceathon stream, which will take place next month. We got a few tiny peeks at what they’ll be showing - I definitely saw a glimpse of the cat from Stray, as well as the cloud-surfing alien from Hyper Light Drifter’s upcoming sequel Solar Ash. So, if you fancy a look at those and whatever other reveals the publisher has in store, you can catch their showcase on July 29th.
E3 2021 will be running from 12th-15th June. Please see ourE3 schedule postfor more, genuinely useful information on the whole virtual shebang, and visit ourE3 2021hub to stay up to date on all the latest news.
