Annapurna held her final show today, revealing new games and giving updates on upcoming titles. The Annapurna Interactive Showcase revealed a few new titles, provided updates on other games, and also highlighted some of the developers Annapurna is working with.

The publishing house has had a banner year so far, with titles such as Stray, Neon White and A Memoir Blue. So while some of the games featured or discussed may not be ready for prime time, Annapurna’s ability to pick winners means it’s worth keeping an eye on.

New Games: Bounty Star, The Lost Wild

Annapurna didn’t have many new titles to reveal, but they did show a handful of promising trailers. The most interesting was The Lost Wild, which looks like a dinosaur survival horror in the style of Alien: Isolation. The trailer shows the protagonist going up against dinosaurs in a kind of dense forest full of abandoned buildings. It is currently available on wishlist on Steam.

The other big reveal is Bounty Star: The Morose Tale of Graveyard Clem. From what the trailer shows, the main character is a beleaguered cowgirl/possibly bounty hunter operating in a mech suit. It will launch sometime in 2023 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Steam, and Game Pass.

Other games revealed include the beautiful title Flock, which looks like a multiplayer title about collecting cute flying creatures, and an unnamed new game from Keita Takahashi, creator of Katamari Damacy.

Various updates

Annapurna also highlighted several developers who are working on new projects with her support. These include Cardboard Computer, the three-man team behind Kentucky Route Zero, which is currently working on its next game. Other developers include Yarn Owl, which is developing a Zelda-esque title; Third Shift, which is working on an adventure game called Forever Ago; and Dreamfell, which makes an unnamed game featuring anthropomorphic animal characters.

Annapurna also revealed updates on the upcoming games. Thirsty Suitors now has a demo on Steam. Hindsight, the contemplative memory title, launches on August 4. The developers of Outer Wilds promised that the Switch port is still in the works, and Xbox Series X/S and PS5 versions will launch on September 15 (those who own last-gen copies of the game can get it for free). upgraded).

A surprising revelation was the Steam launch of Hohokum, a 2014 title that was originally a PlayStation exclusive. It launches on PC for the first time today. Other updates include The Pathless (launches on Switch and Xbox in winter), Maquette (launches on Switch and Xbox Game Pass in winter), Solar Ash (launches on Steam on December 6 and on Game Pass in winter), and What Remains or Edith Finch (launched today on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S).
