You think E3 isn’t over? Ha! A month after Geoff Keighley summoned the entire game industry to Los Angeles for a week of marketing, Annapurna Interactive, a little late to the party, hosted annual show. Today, over the course of 30 minutes, the independent publisher took a look at what’s being done for his offbeat portfolio. Before you ask, no, there’s no news of a sequel to stray. Come on, people, he Just went out. Still, there’s a lot to write home about. Here’s all the important things, ranked from most amazing to least.

Kentucky Road Zero The developers have a new game in the works

Cardboard Computer, the three-person team behind the must-play indie gem Kentucky Road Zerois working on a new game, but hasn’t shared any information about a name, genre, or release date.

Bounty Star It is a mechanical shooter

Annapurna’s wallet achieves for me a lot more than it misses, but that’s because the publisher specializes in big fare that you rarely see in the AAA space. Bounty Star, a third-person shooter planned for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox (where it will launch as part of the Game Pass library), doesn’t seem to fit that bill. Although it features base building and farming elements, you seem to spend a lot of time experimenting with a mechanism, and using it to shoot untold enemies.

lost wilderness It is a survival horror game about dodging dinosaurs in the jungle at night

See the trailer above. Yes, ah, I don’t think so! no no.
