We’re at a point now where it just isn’t E3 without a crazy Devolver Digital cinematic showcase. It all started with Hotline Miami back in 2012, but now they’re easily the biggest Indie publisher in the world. We’ll go over the biggest announcements from the show.

Not the best showcase from Gearbox, with Godfall coming to PS4 and PS5 the only somewhat significant announcement.
