Oxenfree 2, A Plague Tale: Requiem, Cuphead, And More Highlighted At Tribeca Games Spotlight

gameinformer.com:

The Tribeca Games Spotlight made its debut last year, showing off narratively-lead games like Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Lost in Random, and one of our favorites from 2021, Sable. This year, the presentation continued and was brimming with games that look equally promising. The Spotlight showcased nine unique experiences, with much-anticipated titles like A Plague Tale: Requiem and Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals, Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, and some lesser-known indie games that deserve a spot on players' to-watch list. In case you missed the show, we've rounded up some highlights.

Get ready to jump back into Night School Studio's bizarre world once more because Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals looks wonderfully unsettling. The showcase gave us new snippets of protagonist Riley and her long-time friend Jacob exploring a nighttime trail, spooky caves, and abandoned structures. The pair banter back and forth in a quirky way Night School Studio fans will find familiar. The Spotlight also revealed the characters will be exploring alternate timelines. This time-hoping will allow players to go back and influence the past. Portals open on their own, but Riley and Jacob also seem to be able to open them for their own purposes. The developers even characterized the characters' motives as possibly «nefarious.» The game is set to release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC in the near future.

We first met Hugo and Amicia in A Plague Tale: Innocence when the action/adventure stealth-centric title hit in 2019. Though it had some rough edges, the sibling's story of surviving a rat infestation of immense proportions made the game a must-play. The sequel, A Plague Tale: Reqiuem, continues the story right from where we left off. From
