Furthermore, Microsoft says there will be 13 new announcements at [email protected] this year. If you are unfamiliar with [email protected], it is Microsoft’s platform that allows indie developers to create games for the Xbox One ecosystem. Open House is the program’s corresponding event that gathers those developers and allows them to interact directly with Microsoft. The company says several resources will be available at the 6th annual [email protected] Open House event later this month:
Talk to the independent developers bringing their games to Xbox One (which you can play!) Meet some of the Microsoft teams behind your favorite gaming franchises Mingle with the Xbox Ambassadors and learn what it takes to be a positive force in gaming Join us for panels and let us tell you a tale (or two) in an auditorium-style setting Streamed content, including interviews and more Meet the [email protected] team! A whole lot of free pizza and a few fun surprises
Available Games
No gaming conference is worth anything unless there are new games to see. Microsoft proved that at E3 2019 earlier in the summer when it went on a game announcement blitz. While [email protected] Open House will not quite reach that level, the company says the following 13 titles will be playable at the event:
Demon’s Tilt (Flarb LLC / Wiznwar) Exhausted Man (E-Home Entertainment / Candleman Games) Freshly Frosted (The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild) Genesis Noir (Fellow Traveller / Feral Cat Den) Hypnospace Outlaw (No More Robots / Tendershoot, Michael Lasch, ThatWhichIs Media) Kine (Chump Squad / Gwen Frey) Levelhead (Butterscotch Shenanigans) Moving Out (SMG Studios) She Dreams Elsewhere (Studio Zevere) Skater XL (Easy Day Studios) Spectrum Break (Jason Hein) Superliminal (Pillow Castle) Touhou Luna Nights (Vaka Game Magazine, Agm Playism / Vaka Game Magazine, Team Ladybug)
Microsoft will host the Open House on August 209 from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. PT at its Redmond Campus. The company is requesting attendees to RSVP, and says people under 18 must have a legal guardian with them.
