GMTK Digest (June 2024)

Astro Bot! A Zelda for Zelda! Torture in COD!

Hello!

Welcome back to the GMTK Digest. This is my monthly catch-up session for all-things gaming. You'll get to hear about some new releases, the biggest headlines, and loads of articles and videos that I think you'll enjoy.

June marks E3-ish season, so all three platforms had a showcase of upcoming games. Let's start with those conference breakdowns...

Headlines

Nintendo Direct June 2024: Everything Announced - Nintendo gave us a look at its first Zelda-led Zelda game. The Princess can magic up tables, enemies, and more to solve problems in whatever way the player sees fit. Also Metroid Prime 4 is coming out in 2025.

Everything announced at the Xbox Games Showcase - Microsoft had a lot to show. DOOM: The Dark Ages has a shotgun that shoots bones, South of Midnight takes us to the bayou, and Gears of War: E-Day is a prequel to the whole series. But how many of these developers will still have a job next year?
