E3 2020, undoubtedly one of the biggest gaming events of the year, is facing the strong possibility of seeing cancellation.
Gaming publisher Devolver Digital advised its followers to cancel flights and hotels that had been booked for the expo. A number of sources have come out since then with similar information, including journalist Mike Futter.
Futter wrote on Twitter just a few moments ago:
Deliver Us the Moon was one of the many playable games on hand for PAX East 2020. For a look at the demo build, check out the footage below.
The Persistence, a survival-horror roguelike, was announced for Switch yesterday. We have a look at the game’s boxart above.
The Persistence launches on Switch this summer.
Update: VentureBeat has updated its article, and says that an Indie World presentation “is likely happening March 18, and then Nintendo Direct will happen March 26.”
Original: We haven’t seen a general Nintendo Direct in more than half a year, so the anticipation for a new broadcast is at an all time high. Adding to that is the uncertainty behind Nintendo’s 2020 lineup, as Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is one of the company’s few games confirmed for this year – and we still don’t have an exact release date.
It’s only a matter of time before we see the next Nintendo Direct, but VentureBeat claims to have some information as to when it will debut. The site is reporting that Nintendo is “in the final stages of putting the video presentation together,” which could air “in the next two weeks with a penciled-in date of March 18 or March 19.” That’s based on some information VentureBeat has received and other indicators such as YouTube playlists being updated.
Nintendo has updated the Japanese release schedule on its platforms for the week of March 19, 2020. Here’s a look at the upcoming digital download schedule:
A major update for Super Cane Magic ZERO is now available. Studio Evil has brought in additional content including new playable character Missy Talia, lots of tweaks, and more.
