Devolver Digital\u2019s keynote events tend to be, let\u2019s say, unique<\/a>. And the publisher\u2019s presence at Summer Game Fest 2024 was no exception. Like last year<\/a>, Devolver focused on just a handful of really interesting indie games, which ranged from a game about fighting through an interdimensional catastrophe to an expansion that somehow makes Cult of the Lamb<\/em><\/a> even weirder. There was both a first-person kicker and<\/em> a thirst-person shooter<\/a>. If you missed it live, here are all the reveals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A slick side-scrolling action game from the creators of Solar Ash<\/em><\/a> and the Hyper Light<\/em> games<\/a>, Possessor<\/em> looks absolutely gorgeous. It also sounds like it\u2019ll be plenty challenging. Here\u2019s the official setup:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Play as Luca, the host, and Rehm, her less-than-cooperative counterpart, as they explore a quarantined city ripped apart and flooded by an interdimensional catastrophe. Their only hope of survival is by learning to co-exist.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Tenjutsu<\/em> is the first release from Deepnight Games, a new one-person studio helmed by S\u00e9bastien Benard, who previously worked on Dead Cells<\/em>. The game puts players in the role of a renegade yakuza fighting through the criminal underworld and mixes pixel art visuals with some fast-paced action. In keeping with its retro aesthetic, it\u2019s planned for a release in 202X.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This is a first-person shooter where you also do a lot of kicking, and also \u2014 obviously \u2014 collect sneakers. It comes from Free Lives, the studio behind Broforce <\/em>and Cricket Through the Ages<\/em>, so you can expect it to be both very silly and very violent when it launches this summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Crush House<\/em> sounds like a solid concept for a strategy game, tasking players producing a reality TV show circa 1999. But there also appears to be a more sinister side to the game, as you can explore the house at night in search of darker mysteries beyond cast gossip. It\u2019s developed by Nerial, the studio behind the excellent Reigns<\/em> series<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In addition to upcoming games, Devolver also showed off some new content for two of its bigger titles. First up, Cult of the Lamb<\/em>, the surprisingly charming cult simulator<\/a>, is getting its Unholy Alliance<\/em> expansion on August 12th. The free update includes some new quests, gear, and items, but more importantly, it adds a co-op mode so you can experience the unhinged game with a buddy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Meanwhile, on June 14th, the cerebral puzzler The Talos Principle 2<\/em> is getting its Road to Elysium<\/em> expansion. It introduces a host of new challenges spread across three chapters \u2014 Orpheus Ascending, Isle of the Blessed, and Into the Abyss \u2014 each with their own look and storyline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nPossessor<\/em><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
