After presenting it's fever-dream of a press conference at E3 2017, publisher of many a stylish indie Devolver Digital began its own tradition of adults-only, bizarre, hilarious, and occasionally informative E3 presentations. With its own lore, backstory, and characters. And now it's doing so again - in digital showcase form with D3: Devolver Digital Direct.

Which will broadcast bright an early on July 12 at 5AM AEST -- which is probably a tad too early for something that will no doubt be.. something.

This year’s showcase continues the tradition of overpromises with new game reveals, gameplay reveals, release date announcements, and special guests from the industry to help usher in these important marketing bullet points. And it’s nearly all gameplay because that’s what the youths of today demand.

The astonishing misuse of marketing budget will end with a few surprises and game demos available to play by the unwashed masses including Carrion, Disc Room, and an unannounced game. Maybe another game too, who can really tell where this is all leading.

For those that need a refresher, be sure to watch last year's "press conference". As per above Carrion is set to make another appearance, and for more on that be sure to check out or recent interview with the team at Phobia Game Studio.

As to what surprises D3 has in store outside of what Nina's been up to? Stay tuned to AusGamers, as we'll be bringing you all the announcements from the show next week.
