I know before I even write this article that most of the comments will be screamingSILKSONGat me while waving their Team Cherry flags in anticipation of Summer Games Fest’s hopeful announcement, but I’m still going to write this up in hopes someone has an alternative take (Arceus willing.)
So hello there, my little bots and bottettes, and welcome to the 300-word section where I pander to the indie community to help me pick out some cool upcoming games to get excited for. I’ve already got a backlog that’s too big to talk about, but gosh darnit, will that stop me from grabbing more games to hopefully find time to play when I have a chance to breathe?
This week, I want to talk about Indies, and yes, I’m aware that even saying that name is pretty open-ended nowadays, but I wanted to reach out to the Destructoid community to ask you all what is on your radar for upcoming indie games?
And to add something to the discussion, so you all aren’t doing the heavy lifting. I’ll tell you some of mine! Obviously, I need to highlightDate Everything, releasing June 26 for consoles and PC, that lets you date all the inanimate objects in your house and is filled to the brim with talented voice actors like Matt Mercer. There is alsoBitcraft Online, an indie MMO that looks like if Runescape mixed with Minecraft, that I’m hopeful for coming out on June 20.
Killing Floor 3 (is that even still an indie?) is also one of the biggest releases this year and set for release end of July, and oh! oh! I nearly forgotDeltarune Chapters 3 and 4(How could I!?), coming on the Switch 2 launch on June 5.
I really need to find time to play all of these.
So that’s just a sprinkle of the things I’m excited for. But what about you!? Let me know in the comments an indie game coming out, maybe this year or next, and why you think I should check it out, as well as your fellow readers!
