This summer’s gaming showcase season is underway as 505 Games kicks off the season of announcements and trailers as soon as next week. Fans can expect to see what’s in the pipeline from 505 Games on May 17 at the publisher’s first-ever digital showcase, promising exciting new reveals and updates on announced titles.
