With how many games are announced and shown off during the gaming world’s biggest annual event, it is rather easy to skip over some titles during E3 2021. Especially when there have been some hyped-up announcements over the larger titles. Even so, here are some indie games that had their own announcement for E3, even though they may not have been part of any showcase:
Hello Puppets: Midnight Show
The second game for the VR horror game Hello Puppets has been announced! Currently planned to release on Steam, this prequel title will be available to a wider range of players as it is not planned to be a VR title; at least, for now. You can try this game’s free demo on Steam today!
Lemnis Gate
With their game launch coming on August 3rd, Lemnis Gate has opened pre-orders for players looking to get this unique FPS title. Regardless if you plan to get it on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, or Xbox Series X|S, the pre-order will give you 20% off and the exclusive KARL operative and weapon skin, Mettle Mantis.
