The two-hour show was packed with trailers for upcoming games.  Rather than list everything shown, I&#8217;ve curated a list of personal highlights.  It includes Klei&#8217;s next game, Tom Francis&#8217; next game and 11 bit&#8217;s next game.  There was some really cool stuff in the show &#8211; read on to check out the best bits.\n<\/p>\n<p>We got a trailer for Don&#8217;t Starve and Mark of the Ninja developer Klei&#8217;s next game, Rotwood.  It&#8217;s a hack-and-slash dungeon crawler for up to four players in which you fight corrupted beasts, gather what remains and create a safe haven.\n<\/p>\n<p>Tactical Breach Wizards!  This turn-based strategy is from Tom Francis, maker of the excellent Gunpoint and Heat Signature.\n<\/p>\n<figure class=\"video_wrapper youtube\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tactical Breach Wizards gameplay trailer - Act 2\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1hlPsGeUdcs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<p>This is The Invincible, a new philosophical sci-fi adventure game due out in 2023.\n<\/p>\n<p>This is cool: the first in-game footage of 11 bit&#8217;s new game, space survival The Alters.  11 bit is the developer behind the wonderful This War of Mine and Frostpunk, so this is one to watch.\n<\/p>\n<p>Shiro Games showed off Dune: Spice Wars&#8217; multiplayer mode, which is out this month, a new co-op update for open-world tactical RPG Wartales, and a brand new solo adventure for Northgard.\n<\/p>\n<p>We got a new trailer for Nightdive Studio&#8217;s System Shock remake, which I&#8217;m looking forward to.  Still no release date though!\n<\/p>\n<p>Nivalis is a cool-looking, cyberpunk-themed &#8220;slice-of-life sim&#8221; set in the same city in which Ion Lands&#8217; previous game, Cloudpunk, takes place.  Definitely one to watch.\n<\/p>\n<p>Agent 64: Spies Never Die is, well, it&#8217;s GoldenEye, isn&#8217;t it?  And why not?  While we wait for Microsoft and Nintendo and whatever other stakeholder who needs to stick their oar into the official remake&#8217;s release to pull their finger out, this retro FPS inspired by Rare&#8217;s seminal shooter looks like a laugh.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mountain city builder Laysara: Summit Kingdom looks right up my street.  It&#8217;s two out early 2023.\n<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the gameplay debut of Victoria 3, the upcoming grand strategy game from Paradox.\n<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a video update on the Thief-inspired Gloomwood, which is the game with the cool inventory bag.  Early access kicks off 16th August.\n<\/p>\n<p>The PC Gaming Show ended with an extended gameplay video of impressive-looking Half-Life: Alyx mod, Levitation.  This is a four or five-hour campaign from a mod team.
