Mark your calendars!
A huge Xbox Summer Game Fest demo event kicks off next week and will offer up the chance to play more than 40 indie demos including the likes of Tunic, Sable, Lake and more.
The event runs over 26-22 June here in Australia, of 12-21 June for our friends over in North America.
“These are not normal ‘game demos’,” ID@Xbox’s Jessica Ronnell pointed out.
“Typically, the demos you see in our Demo channel are created after the game is completed (or nearly completed) and represent the final version. Many of these demos are early, and some are for games that won’t be out for quite some time.
“Think of these as akin to ‘show floor demos’ and not necessarily indicative of the final product. What that means is that you’ll get to experience these games early – some way early – which is awesome, but you should also note that these games will continue to evolve and be polished as they near release.”
We’ve had a chance to go hands-on with Tunic back at X019 in London and we’d wager our experience there will be pretty similar to what everyone will get to play next week. Head here for an idea of what you could expect.
More information, including a list of all available demos, will be made in the coming days. We’ll update this story when that happens.
