Square Enix Preparing Its Own Digital Showcase For March 18

Square Enix Preparing Its Own Digital Showcase For March 18

Nintendo does it. Sony does it. Microsoft does it. Square Enix figured “why don’t WE do it?” The Japanese games publisher announced today they’ll be streaming their own Digital Showcase a week from now, March 18, and will reveal a lot of projects through it. What can we expect? Apparently Life Is Strange 3, if what they’re implying is accurate. We really, truly don’t know what to expect from that since games 1 and 2 were handled by different studios and starred a separate set of characters (though a prequel was released that used the characters from Game 1). The third one, as expected, will have “a new protagonist with a fascinating new power.” But also on the list are… Outriders: Square’s upcoming looter-shooter has a free demo available for most modern systems, and so far, folks are pleased with it. The game will be released two weeks after the digital showcase, so we expect to hear a lot about additional content not revealed in the demo. Tomb Raider 25th

Vampyr Delayed Until 2018 For Fine-tuning

Vampyr, Dontnod’s adventure RPG, has been delayed until 2018. The game was originally slated for release later this year on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC but has been pushed back so that the team can fine-tune some parts of the game that require extra polish and balancing. According to studio head Oskar Guilbert, the delay is due to a technical issue that has only just been fixed. “Delaying the release of a project you hold dear is always a tough decision,” Guilbert said. “However, we believe that meeting a deadline should never compromise quality. We were still convinced just a few weeks ago that we would be able to release Vampyr this year. Unfortunately, a technical issue – now solved – has set our teams’ schedule back at the end of the development. “This delay allows us enough time for all the polishing and balancing phase, much needed for a game of Vampyr’s scope, with its ambitious, semi-open world, its complex narrative and deep RPG mechanics that give players

There’s no trailer at the moment, but a press release did give away some details regarding the title, which we’re likely to see much more of during this coming week.

The game will see two lead characters attempting to solve a somewhat mysterious disappearance, which Dontnod Entertainment’s CEO Oskar Guilbert describes as “a twist on traditional story-driven games“. Life Is Strange will be based in the fictional Arcadia Bay, Oregon. The lead characters attempting to unravel the mystery will be Max Caulfield, a student, and her friend Chloe.
