Tags: Cyanide Studio; Gato Studio; inXile Entertainment; Nacon; Owlcat Games; Pathfinder: Kingmaker; Plaion; The Waylanders; Wasteland 3; Werewolf: The Apocalypse - EarthbloodAfter the cancellation of this year's E3, its various press conferences and live events soon reorganized under the umbrella of two digital venues - Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest and IGN's Summer of Gaming. While Summer Game Fest has been running since May, the season of hype begins in earnest today with the debut of the IGN Expo. It didn't take long for some Codex-relevant titles to show up, but perhaps I should start from the middle.
There was a new Wasteland 3 trailer introducing some of the game's factions, including the Patriarch's Marshals, the Gippers, the aristocratic Hundred Families and others. Note the appearance of Brian Fargo alter ego Faran Brygo, a returning character from the original Wasteland. Right after that, there was a trailer for the long-awaited Pathfinder: Kingmaker console port. That's noteworthy because it includes a turn-based combat mode which will also be added to the PC version. It's due out on August 18th.
Closer to the beginning of the stream, there was a new cinematic trailer for Cyanide's Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood action-RPG. It looks like we'll have to wait for publisher Nacon's event on July 7th to finally see some gameplay from that. While nothing is confirmed yet, note that the game has its own page on the Epic Games Store now, but not on Steam. And finally, there was a trailer for Gato Studio's BioWare-esque time travel RPG The Waylanders, announcing that it'll be out on Early Access on June 16th. IGN also produced a short preview of the game's backer alpha, which was released just last week.
A rather dense first day. There'll be more from IGN in the coming days, including some gameplay from tactical RPG The Iron Oath tomorrow and an interview with Brian Fargo on Friday, but the major event of the week is of course the appearance of Baldur's Gate 3 at the Guerrilla Collective event on Saturday. Stay tuned!
