The showcase will feature announcements from various publishers known for retro titles. Attendees can expect updates on re-releases, remasters, and new games in genres like shmups, brawlers, and beat 'em ups. The event also plans to reveal officially licensed hardware built for retro platforms.
Al Hibberd, CEO of Pixel Helix, stated that the goal is to provide meaningful storytelling for these projects rather than relying on rapid-fire trailers. He emphasized that the retro space is broad and this event will bring it out of the shadows. The organizers promise appearances from some of the biggest names in the retro industry.
