The Southeast Asian Games Showcase will premiere on June 7 (June 8 for us Aussies) alongside the Women-Led and Latin American Games Showcases, as part of Summer Game Fest.
There will be 40 titles from countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, and many others. Excitingly, Checkpoint Gaming is an official media partner for this awesome celebration of Southeast Asian games!
Some of the titles you can look forward to seeing at the showcase are:
- Coffee Talk Tokyo (Indonesia/Japan): The newest installment of the beloved coffee brewing and heart-to-heart talking simulator, now set in Tokyo, where humans and yokai alike co-exist.
- Cat Quest III (Singapore): Play as a purrivateer in this 2.5D open-world action RPG set in a fantastical pirate-themed world – the Purribean – an archipelago swarming with Pi-rats searching for the Northern Star – a long-lost mythical treasure.
Each game gets a deep dive telling you more about what each game is about, followed by launch date announcements for your calendar. After the showcase, you can visit the Steam sales page that includes every game and is available until June 13th.
While there have been events covering Southeast Asian games, this is the first time that these games have had a large platform to reach everyone. Nissie Arcega, co-founder of the Southeast Asian Games Showcase, commented on the importance of the occasion. “This is the first year we’ve been able to broadcast the Southeast Asian Games Showcase at a global level. It’s an honour to be representing such a talented region and to really demonstrate what Southeast Asia can add to the wider games ecosystem.”
You can watch all three showcases right after each other, with the Southeast Asian Games Showcase taking place at the end. It’s a bit early for us Aussies, but you can watch the streams on demand afterwards, too!
