What can I expect to see at Realms Deep 2023?
This streaming event is devoted to indie games in general, and in particular to the "boomer shooter" games. These are new first-person shooter games made by indie teams. Many of them use older engines like ones created for the original Doom and Quake games, along with the Build engine used in Duke Nukem 3D and Blood.
3D Realms says it will show updates on many of its upcoming games such as the "RTS Tempest Rising, action-adventure FPS Phantom Fury, immersive sim Core Decay, sci-fi horror FPS RIPOUT, dark-fantasy FPS GRAVEN, dieselpunk action-rpg Combustion, Ion Fury’s Aftershock expansion, and maybe even an exciting surprise or two."
Other publishers and developers will be showing new trailers and revealing new games during the event. They will include New Blood Interactive, Running With Scissors, Slipgate Ironworks, HYPERSTRANGE, Dread XP, Hellforge Studios, Fulqrum, Retrovibe, THQ Nordic, Prismatika Games and others.
Previous Realms Deep events have also featured in-depth chats with many of the developers behind these games. You should also expect to see the event take some humorous turns, and there may also be some giveaways to the people watching the event live.
Finally, Valve"s Steam service is holding a Realms Deep sales event, with discounts on a number of titles related to 3D Realms.
