It wouldn’t be an E3 Summer Game Fest without Devolver Direct doing its own thing and live-streaming some truly cooked creation in which exciting, upcoming games are presented in increasingly concerning ways.
This year it’s all about Volvy, a mouse-like video game character that Devolver has been attempting to gaslight people into believing has any kind of history in the gaming industry. The show chronicles the totally very real origins and progression of Volvy and his numerous starring roles in popular video games, including the death of the franchise after the complete misfire that was Cigarette Heist.
Now though, Volvy is back, introduced by his original creator, Ronathan Trodfield and Innovation Manager, Winnie Calcium. Redesigned for a modern age, VOLV-E is the ultimate gaming companion that can generate brand-new games from just a few simple prompts. Games like these:
