The best of the Triple-i showcase

eurogamer.net:

Tonight marked the first ever Triple-i showcase, a new digital event highlighting a vast number of indie game projects on the way.

The «no nonsense» showcase was initially created by Dead Cells developer Evil Empire, which said the goal was to create a «straight-to-the-point show packed with announcements as a collective of studios, to speak directly to players [with] no hosting segments, no advertisements, no sponsorships, no extra fluff, just games».

We certainly got that, with 45 minutes of trailers, teasers, and announcements. Evil Empire itself revealed its forthcoming The Rogue Prince of Persia, with other headline announcements including Slay the Spire 2, a new Kingdoms mode coming to Darkest Dungeon 2, and Vampire Survivors receiving a PlayStation release and Contra DLC.

But what else shown is worth your attention? We've got a round up of the best new game announcements below.

Slay the Spire 2

The deck-building roguelite returns with a sequel that opened the show. It was only an animated tease, so it's unclear what sort of improvements we can expect, but the trailer did show its three lead characters: the return of The Ironclad and The Silent, plus a new skeletal necromancer called The Necrobinder. It'll release in early access in 2025.

The Rogue Prince of Persia

Evil Empire, fresh from its split from Motion Twin and its work on Dead Cells, is back with a Prince of Persia game in collaboration with Ubisoft. It features a brand new art style and a new prince who wall runs and kicks his way through procedurally generated levels in this roguelite twist on the series. Donlan went hands-on with The Rogue Prince of Persia last week, check out his impressions for more details.
