For 25 minutes, Devolver Digital delivered a still surreal show where the excesses of video games were pointed out in the company of Suda51 (No More Heroes). Here is the recap of the Devolver Direct 2022 announcements with Cult of the Lamb, Anger Foot, The Plucky Squire…
Devolver Digital is a bit of the enfant terrible of the video game industry that can do anything without being held to the rigors of it. Why ? Because the most independent game publisher “mainstream” systematically unearths good games or even absolute pearls (yes, Hotline Miami). the Devolver Direct 2022 in any case has in no way failed its reputation. It was scathing with in particular allusions to the famous “false countdown” during events to bring in and keep spectators at all costs. And there was even Suda51 and a reinterpretation of The Neverending Story. Here are all the announcements from this conference, which brightened up a disappointing first Summer Game Fest 2022 evening.
Devolver Digital Direct 2022: Sheep, Butt Kicks and More
We start with the “real surprise of Summer Game Fest 2022”, The Plucky Squire. The trailer opens with a children’s book where the valiant knight Jot and his valiant comrades seem to be having fantastic adventures where they cut up goblins. Playable phases. And all of a sudden, the title takes on another dimension when the characters leave the book for a 3D environment (but not only). We find the paw of the co-director of The Swords of Ditto. See you in 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Nintendo Switch.
The other significant announcement of this Devolver Digital Direct 2022 was Anger Foot. A fast (logical), crazy fast-fps with big Hotline Miami vibes where your mission is to distribute kicks where it is necessary to mafia crocs in jogging while listening to big sound. “Anger Foot is a lightning-fast FPS where the only things harder than your feet are the pounding bass” can read on the Steam page of the game. The title is planned for the time only on Steam in 2023. It is developed by Free Lives (Broforce, Genital Jousting, Gorn). A demo is currently on the Valve platform.
skate story won’t walk on the flat strips of Skate 4, if only for its hypnotic and very flattering art direction. We embody a “demon made of glass and suffering”. We can perform tricks with one goal: kill other demons, collect their souls and improve our board. Exit in 2023 on Steam.
Known game updates including one available
The rest is deja vu. The very barred Cult of the Lamb has its release date set for August 11, 2022 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch. On the verge of being transformed into a lamb after being slaughtered, a lamb will have to gather followers to establish a sect and kill false prophets. A rogue-like that stands out visually speaking. Will he have the fate of The Binding of Isaac?
We end with Card Shark, what to say? It’s already available on PC and Nintendo Switch. An adventure game where cheating is king.
