What to Expect from This Year’s Connect



Expect this to be a dense show featuring many games, including new info on announced titles, brand-new announcements, teasers, demos, and new content for already-released indie games, including a big content update for I Am Future as well as DLCs for Punch Club 2 and Not For Broadcast.

Duckside, which recently announced the launch of a Steam beta, figures to be part of the fun. It’s a multiplayer survival game with PVP, PVE, crafting, and base building. Oh, also: You and everyone else are hat-wearing ducks. Not cartoony, anthropomorphic ducks. Regular, everyday ducks. Wearing hats. A trailer in April showed off some gameplay, followed by an open beta, and it's as fun as it sounds. Here’s hoping we get to see even more.

Speaking of wanting to see more, there’s Sand, an upcoming multiplayer extraction shooter. It’s a PvPvE game where players operate mechanical walkers called Tramplers to explore the remnants of a once prosperous planet, now left in ruin. Explore a massive, procedurally generated world, survive encounters with rival scavengers, engage in Trampler battles, and make it off the planet with any valuables found throughout the world. A reveal trailer last summer gave us a glimpse of Sand’s world, and now feels like the perfect time to see some gameplay.

Among the key titles to be highlighted is Astor: Blade of the Monolith, an action RPG closing in on its May 30 release date on PC and console. It stars Astor, a young warrior determined to unveil the secrets behind his creators’ unforeseen demise. A recent trailer showed us several vibrant, colorful environments and its fluid, fast-paced combat.

That’s only a taste of what could be featured in this show. TinyBuild has several other games coming up, including the gothic hack-and-slash RPG Voin, the multiplayer tactical horror FPS Level Zero: Extraction, and the open-world sandbox RPG Streets of Rogue 2. Viewers can also expect a new look at Kingmakers, an over-the-top medieval mix of action and RTS that was announced in February. And there’s bound to be some unexpected new game reveals and announcements. Tune in May 21 to see it all.
