Life is Strange: True Colors, Black Panther, and Forspoken (formerly ‘Project Athia’) were shown at the event
Square Enix is hosting a digital event today at 10:00 a.m. Pacific, and running down thelist of news on-deck,Life is Strangeis the headliner – but that’s just me. Maybe you unexpectedly adoreOutriders, you’re clinging ontoAvengers, or you have a great feeling aboutTomb Raider‘s 25th anniversary.
If you don’t want to watch onYouTube, you can also catch the show onTwitch.
After some decent highs and horrible lows last year during the endless summer of video game news streams, I don’t know what to expect from Square Enix Presents. I just know that the first 30 seconds or so will set the tone. I’m contractually obligated to stick with it, but you? You can bounce whenever.
At a minimum, we’ll learn is Strange,Outriders,Balan Wonderworld(godspeed),Tomb Raider,Marvel’s Avengers,Just Cause Mobile, other mobile games, and some “delightful” Taito titles.
The Square Enix Presents showcase for Spring 2021 is expected to last around 40 minutes. That’s a lotta time for Takes. You might want to pace yourself, though – it’s going to be another long year.
[Update: It’s over! Here are the major announcements from the show:
All in all, it was better than expected given the relatively low stakes involved.Life is Strange: True Colorsalready looks compelling to me, and I’m all aboutForspoken‘s magic-infused traversal. The showcase’s actual news wasn’t groundbreaking or anything, but the quality of the presentation was pretty nice.]
