Devolver Digital’s showcase featured just four games, but they look like good ones

Devolver Digital shared details and trailers for some projects in development during its latest presentation on Thursday. However, much of the presentation revolved around a tongue-twisting mascot, “Volvy,” a fictional story of the mascot’s influence on gaming culture and the character’s “return” as a robot (VOLV-E). It was weird, but that’s Devolver’s thing about its presentations.

You can watch the entire 22-minute show here, or catch up on the four featured games below (well, in addition to anything involving Volvy):

Devolver showed a trailer for Wizard with a gun, a survival game that is themed something like a fantasy game mixed with a western. You’ll need to gather resources, build buildings, and explore what looks like a large map. A demo is now available on Steam. The game is also coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S and is expected to launch sometime in 2023.

We have a new one gameplay trailer for The Talos Principle IIsequel to the well-regarded first-person puzzler The Talos Principle. We already knew the game was on the way — it was included as part of its PlayStation Showcase in May — but this trailer provided another look at the mysterious puzzle title. Coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC this year.

in Baby stepsnew game from the creators of Ape Out and Overcome!, you play as Nate, a wash stumbling up the mountain. It appears that you are individually manipulating Nate’s legs,” an email to the press described Baby steps as a “literal walking simulator” — which should lead to fun QWOP-like accidents. (Not surprising, given Overcome! creator Bennett Foddy did too QWOP.) Releases in 2024 for PS5 and PC.

Devolver also shared a very short trailer for Human Fall Flat 2a third-person puzzle sequel Human Fall Flat. “Each challenging level comes equipped with new toys and devices to play with as you solve a series of diabolical puzzles alone or in teams of up to eight friends,” according to Devolver’s press email. Devolver didn’t share a release window.
