The showcase will be inspired by ’90s anime and “quintessential hype machine Toonami,” featuring trailers and updates on over 20 games. Participating studios includeAmong Usdev Innersloth, as well asFuture Club, Team Reptile, Perfect Garbage, and more.
I’m already into the idea of a Toonami-inspired showcase, and I’m crossing my fingers forsome chill AMVsto showcase the games. The Future of Play is threading the needle a bit; at 11:15 a.m. PT, it’s right in-between the Wholesome Direct and Ubisoft Forward. But with some rad games and aesthetics, it might be a nice surprise in a weekend packed full of news.
We’ll see what Glitch and the Future of Play have in store on Saturday. Check outthe full schedule of upcoming E3 events over here.
