Persona 4 Golden PC port, let’s head out boys.
While we may not have E3 this year, and the only word on next year’s being that they’re working on a reimagined event, that doesn’t mean that the regular shows won’t go on. This year the PC Gaming Show included skits featuring a robot, interviews after the studio’s game was shown, and a couple of games that are new EGS Exclusives. To be honest, this show could have been better without the skits as it seemed rushed at times (in terms of actually showing off games) as some games didn’t have any breathing room like some were cut off way to soon to show the release/if they had a beta signup open and Gloomwood’s trailer was completely forgotten about and shown after the credits. Anyway, here are all the games featured so you won’t have to watch:
- Valheim is a viking survival and exploration game set in a fantasy world inspired by norse mythology and viking culture. There is no release window as of yet, but you can sign up for the beta now.
