Overnight, the Kinda Funny Games Showcase took place. There were 69 game announcements ranging from new reveals, game drops and release dates for long-awaited games. It was a good mix of smaller indie titles, titles we’ve been waiting for ages and a few new AAA game announcements.
Whilst there were way too many announcements to cover in depth, we’ve picked out some highlights and put the trailers below. It’s also worth watching the full Kinda Funny Games Showcase at some point as there’s a bunch of interesting games.
THE WALKING DEAD SEASON 3 CONTINUES ON JANUARY 15TH THANKS TO SKYBOUND GAMES AND SOME OF THE ORIGINAL TEAM.
