All the Game Announcements From the Kinda Funny Showcase

on

Earlier this morning we got a bunch of new game announcements and updates during the Kinda Funny Games Showcase. Hosted by Kinda Funny’s Greg Miller and Tim Gettys, the presentation featured 69 games that ranged from titles by single person teams to some of the biggest game publishers in the world.

Below are all 69 of the games featured in the first ever Kinda Funny Games Showcase. As there were so many you won’t find detailed explanations for every game shown during the presentation but each will feature a link to either the games developer’s website or steam page so you can find out more information about the games you’ll be getting your hands on in 2019.

The Kinda Funny Games Showcase opened with an incredible montage where some of the biggest game developers, content creators and media talk about why they play or make games before Greg and Tim open the show setting the scene for what we could expect to see during the showcase. Covering a range from games that are small in scale all the way up to titles from the biggest publishers in the world. Before kicking off the show with a few trailers. Starting with:

Then came the powerful closing ceremony of the Kinda Funny Games Showcase. Greg had mentioned at the top of the show that they had some big publishers on board. And they saved the biggest announcements for the end of the show. Along with their own ‘one more thing’ moment.

Then we got the reveal of Sega’s Project Judgment. A game developed by the Yakuza team that has now been confirmed as coming West. Not only did we get a trailer for the game, we see that unlike the Yakuza games, Judgment will be releasing with dual audio and even has a short introduction from Greg Chun, the English voice actor for lead character Takayuki Yagami.

And the ‘One more thing…’. After months of being up in the air after the recent closure of Telltale Games we have evidence that the final season of The Walking Dead will indeed be finished by many of the Telltale Staff that were working on the game originally. And got the release date for Episode 3.

The Walking Dead: Final SeasonSkybound GamesEpisode 3 coming 15th January 2019

The whole showcase was fantastic. The pacing was incredible and it was just hit after hit after hit. I love that someone stepped up to give these developers and publishers a platform to showcase their work in a space where the news doesn’t just get lost in the jumble of a larger trade show.

Well done Greg, Tim and the entire Kinda Funny crew for putting this together. We’re really hoping you come back with an even bigger Kinda Funny Showcase in 2019.

If you have the time you really should check out the showcase for yourself. You can view the archived version of the showcase on the Kinda Funny Games Youtube channel or watch it below:
