E3 2021 is coming up very soon, and arguably already started with Summer Game Fest. One publisher holding its own show is Devolver Digital, the eccentric company focused on releasing what may otherwise be considered “indie” games. Coming on June 12, the stream will no doubt feature some game announcements, but Devolver’s shows are a little bit less… sensical than those from other companies. That certainly appears to be the case based on a teaser trailer of sorts that Devolver has released, dubbed the Devolver MaxPass+ Prologue. You can watch the video below, but it teases that the MaxPass+ will be revealed during Saturday’s event as “the future of monetization as a service,” whatever that means. We expect at least a few deaths.
Devolver Press Conference Stream Time
In May, Devolver put out a vague tweet stating that it had made plans for E3 and that it would do something “probably” on June 12. June 12 is the first day of E3 2021’s digital show, and we now know that Devolver’s presentation will officially take place at 1:30 PM PT / 4:30 PM PT on that day. It’s not officially part of E3 itself.
- 1:30 PM PT
- 4:30 PM PT
- 9:30 PM BST
- 6:30 AM AET on June 13.
This is a familiar Devolver move; back in pre-pandemic times when E3 was held in-person, the company would set up an area in a parking lot across from the LA Convention Center. Devolver’s partner developers would show off their in-progress games to media, generally in camper trailers.
Devolver has also announced that it will be participating in the Geoff Keighley-hosted Summer Games Fest, which is scheduled for June 10. There, the company will reveal four new games.
