We had a lot of events over the weekend, so here's a round-up of some interesting game announcements to keep you up to date.
I don't know whose bright idea it was to have event after event after event…and then more events, as if anyone can really keep up with that. All it does is rapidly bury various games, it doesn't give enough time. So silly in fact that Valve made the "Steam's Summer Showcase of Summer Showcases" event page. But anyway, enough moaning from me, I've picked out a bunch you might want to keep an eye on.
Hollow Knight: Silksong will release in 2025
From Team Cherry.
Yes, really. At least, that's what Microsoft's Sarah Bond said during their handheld announcement (I'll talk more on that later). Nothing to actually show for this one, as it wasn't a full announcement but I thought you Hollow Knight fanatics would like to see it mentioned. Just keep an eye on the Steam page.
Beast of Reincarnation
