The Future of Play 2024 showcase featured games from all types of genres, from claw-machine RPGs to creepy robotic puzzle games and playing as a cat suspecting home invasion.

Here are all the trailers and news from this morning’s Future of Play stream.

Abyss X Zero

Play

This one had some cool pixel art and seems to star characters that look like they’re from Kill La Kill to me.

Zodiac XX: Leo

Play

I’m not sure what’s happening in Zodiac XX: Leo, but it has a ship/jet and a banger of a soundtrack.

Battle Suit Aces

Play

This is the next game from Trinket Studios, who previously worked on Battle Chef Brigade. It looks like a combination of Space Boy-like shenanigans but a card-based gameplay system.

All Systems Dance 

Play

Bad robots only have one weakness in All Systems Dance and as the title would giveaway, it’s dancing!

Yooka-Replaylee

Play

Having never played Yooka-Laylee, this remaster/remake of the game makes me want to, as it looks gorgeous.

Nova Hearts

Play

There’s a lot going on in Nova Hearts, but you’re playing as a group of magic-girl and doing battle, plus dating.

A demo for Nova Hearts is available now.

A Date with Death

Play

New DLC for A Date with Death is arriving later this year, and it’s titled “Beyond the Bet.”

The Beyond the Bet DLC is releasing on December 9, 2024/

LOK Digital

Play

This looks like a word puzzle game but with a video game twist.

Croakwood

Play

You play as a frog, and you live in Croakwood and do frog things.

Cozy Marbles

Play

Roll some marbles around to solve puzzles in Cozy Marbles.

A demo for Cozy Marbles is available for you to try now.

Phoenix Springs

Play

Phoenix Springs has shown up a couple of times this SGF now, and it’s a standout visually every time. I can’t wait to play this detective narrative adventure.

Phoenix Springs will be released on September 16, 2024, for PC.

REKA

Play

You play as a young witch who is learning her powers, and building a home in a strange looking world in Reka.

A demo for REKA is available now.

Sandara: City of a Thousand Eclipses

Play

You’re living in a sinking city in Sandara, which doesn’t seem good at all.

Airborne Empire 

Play

You control and fly around in a massive airship in this game.

Airborn Empire will be released in Q3 2024.

Dungeon Clawler

Play

This is a cool twist, as what you grab in the claw machine affects your attacks in the RPG battles.

Dungeon Clawler will be released in Q3 2024, and a demo will be available now.

N.O.D.E.

Play

This looked Limbo-esq, but you’re playing as a small robot.

N.O.D.E will be released in 2025, but a demo will be available this month.

Copycat

Play

Copycat is an Australian game that was shown at PAX last year and it’s great to see it showing up here, and should be back in another showcase later. This trailer revealed the release date!

Copycat will be released on PC in September 2024.

Light Odyssey

Play

There are big creatures and a striking, bleak art direction in this game.

Light Odyssey will be released on PC in Q4 2024.

Psychroma

Play

Psychorama is a narrative side-scroller set in a cyberpunk world.

Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut
