The Galaxies Showcase games show – which, if you missed the Spring edition, is a game reveal showcase with more of an indie/lower-budget focus – is back next Thursday, October 23rd.
Full disclosure: RPS, along with fellow Gamer Networkers Eurogamer and VG247, have been deemed ‘Galaxies media partners’, which I understand to basically mean you can watch the livestream on the homepage. Also full disclosure, nobody said I couldn’t spend this post being hyperfixated on confirmed Galaxies-featured game and wonderfully batshit train stuntfest Denshattack, my personal most-craved unreleased creative work currently in existence. Denshattack! It’s got what kickflipping rail conductors crave. Galaxies will also show off some non-Denshattack games, including PowerWash Simulator 2, old-timey cartoon FPS Mouse: PI For Hire, band management sim Rockbeasts, and boomer shooter sequel Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, among dozens of others.
Watch on YouTube
There’ll also be as-yet mysterious announcements and reveals from the likes of Devolver Digital, Turnbound devs 1TK, sim specialists Excalibur Games, and Code Coven, an academy for marginalised game dev talent. Kepler Interactive will also have a new look tabeltoppish RPG Solasta II, with Team17 adding a few games including the Twin Peaks-inspired survival horror Silver Pines. I hear from my sources that Denshattack, which looks rad, may be involved as well. Denshattack.
Galaxies goes live on October 23rd at 8pm GMT/ 9pm CEST / 12pm PST / 3pm EST. Watching it will be easy enough, as you can simply just visit RPS, where again, it’ll be beamed onto our homepage. Much like that Gamescom stream was back in August, except this time we’ll be expecting it, so Edwin won’t go to the tech department and get it removed in a panic. Alternatively, it’s going out on both YouTube and Twitch.
