“We couldn’t be more excited to shine a spotlight on talented teams and their gorgeous games. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for our community’s enthusiasm, and the trust placed on us by participating developers to present their titles to the world. After receiving over 700 submissions, we have carefully curated a delightful selection of over 70 awe-inspiring games. We can’t wait to put on another great show this June!"
