Publisher Bandai Namco has announced the return of its livestream presentation, the Bandai Namco Summer Showcase. Releasing a brief teaser on social media, Bandai Namco revealed that there will be a brand new game reveal for My Hero Academia, new trailers, and more.
In addition to the new My Hero game, the Bandai Summer Showcase will also feature a new trailer for Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree and a gameplay deep dive of Digimon Story: Time Stranger. Plus, Code Vein 2, Death Note Killer Within, Everbody’s Golf Hot Shots, Patapon 1+2 Replay, Shadow Labyrinth, Super Robot Wars Y, Tekken 8, The Blood of Dawnwalker, and Little Nightmares 3 will also be at the showcase.
Over the past few weeks, we got the first official look at gameplay of The Blood of Dawnwalker. There was also some news regarding the Little Nightmares franchise.
Little Nightmares III is slated to release on October 10. Anyone who pre-orders the digital version will get Little Nightmares: Enhanced Edition. A VR title, Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes was revealed. A new season of the Little Nightmares podcast is on the way, The Sounds of Nightmares. Little Nightmares: Descent to Nowhere, a comic book, is also set to launch in October.
Descent to Nowhere follows two parallel stories. Hush, a timid, mute girl, wakes up in a jail cell. Desperate to escape, she befriends Mono, another prisoner who understands this world far better than her. Together, they will have to find a way out of a very dark Dungeon. Before that, a young adult book called Little Nightmares: The Lonely Ones will release in September. The novel follows Ruse, a young child, who awakens in an unfamiliar, shaking room with two other kids she doesn’t know – a small girl with a frayed rope dangling from her neck and a starved-looking boy wearing a tattered mask over his mouth and nose.
Bandai Namco is collaborating with the studio Taller del Chucho for a stop-motion project, too.
The 21-minute gameplay overview of The Blood of Dawnwalker revealed the game’s combat system, abilities, the focus of the day and night cycle and how it affects quests, and a boss fight.
The Bandai Namco Summer Showcase will take place at 12 pm PT | 3 pm ET | 9 pm CEST | 4 am JST.
