“Creator-led” New Game+ Showcase announced, featuring no “paid placements”

While Geoff Keighley’s Game Awards and Summer Game Fest showcases have easily become two of the biggest events for video game announcements, they’ve also garnered some controversy due to the prices required in order to appear in either event, leaving many smaller studios out of luck. Fortunately, a creator-led event has now been announced, with the New Game+ Showcase emphasising its lack of any paid advertisements.

Releasing a hype trailer in the lead up to the event, the New Game+ Showcase is set to go live on the 8th of January and will feature a total of 45 games, including the likes of Crimson Desert; Aphelion; and many more.

The New Game+ Showcase is a creator-led event “designed to put authentic excitement back at the center of game reveals.”

Featuring no paid advertisements, the showcase is focused on giving “developers and publishers a stage where their game isn’t competing for attention with dozens of sponsored slots, but instead stands out in front of communities that want to discover it.”

Created by known public figures Luke Stephens; Luality; Jake Lucky; IamRob; Blue Thunder and HUN2R, this new showcase offers plenty of strong potential – assuming it’s done correctly.

Fortunately we won’t have to wait long to find out, with the New Game+ Showcase officially going live in just a couple days on the 8th of January at 9PM UK time.
