The XR Indies & Friends Showcase promises new reveals and announcements, putting “fresh and tasty indie gaming into the spotlight,” organizers tease in the announcement video, linked below.

While the full docket of games is going to be revealed during the show, the livestream is confirmed to feature more info from upcoming games including Innerspace VR’s One True Path, new gameplay from Cybron’s MR adventure Wall Town Wonders, a new trailer for the VR adaptation of Ovid Works’ Kafka-esque Metamorphosis, and new gameplay from Just Add Water’s arcade digging sim DIG VR.

“As you saw last month, our focus with the VR Games Showcase is to deliver a blockbuster event for massive VR games,” said Zeena Al-Obaidi, Chief Creative Officer of The VR Showcase and host of XR Indies & Friends. “But it’s just as important to us that we provide the proper venue to also feature an incredible array of diverse, innovative, and exciting indie games.
