Nice. For some reason AA studios like Focus, THQ Nordic or Nacon usually bring the most hype for me. They always manage to push a lot of originality while mantaining a certain production value.

Ok, now i'm interested.

Hopefully we get either Dontnod, Asobo, StreumOn's new 40k game, or Deck 13's new IP.

I hope its that Dontnod game. I think it was something with vikings?
We don't know the names for most some of the partnerships they announced in 2019, just the 3 verb taglines and teaser images.

The only games they revealed since then were Hood, Aeon must die, SnowRunner, the Gasket Games' Age of Sigmar project, that "Hades, but with Aztecs"
"Curse of the Dead Gods" rogue-lite and Othercide. Also, Hardspace: Shipbreaker, but that wasn't part of the 2019 announcement slate.

Dontnod, (Return, Expiate, Uncover)
Asobo, (Care, Rise, Defy)
Deck 13, (Gather, Surpass, Conquer)
Saber, (Protect, Redeem, Purge)
and StreumOn (Descend, Assassinate, Collect)

are still only teasers (The latter 2 are clearly 40k related) Flying Wild Hog partnership was announced later and doesn't have a tag line (afaik)

See here:

for pictures to go along with the taglines.

Did some digging, think I figured out what we're in for.

First, I came across trademarks for Evil West and Shady Part of Me filed by Focus Home Interactive on November 13:

A Facebook page for Evil West was also put up on November 16, but is currently empty: https://www.facebook.com/PlayEvilWest/

Shady Part of Me is developed by Douze-Dixiemes, according to this post from November 2018, and is 100% the indie game Focus Home Interactive is publishing. They have yet to announce what it is by name, but http://www.shady-part-of.me redirects to https://www.focus-home.com/en-us/games/shady-part-of-me (which is currently 404'd).

Finally, both of these pages return 404 forbidden errors:


Change the URLs to anything else and you'll get a 404 not found, meaning the directories exist.

I'd imagine Evil West is the game developed by Flying Wild Hog, as that seems like it would be the name of a Flying Wild Hog game.

One the title is from the first studio listed in OP's post.

The second title is an indie game that will be shadow dropped during the event.

Salromano's post is right on the money btw.

Do you know more?

Third person? FPS?

I guess it's going to be action packed.

Third-person action game. Devs are citing God of War (2018) as an inspiration. Don't know if gameplay will be shown bit the CG trailer gives a good idea of what it is.

Also about Hoods, the planned release date wil be shown at the TGA and it's Q2 2021. The game is actually quite far along but the publisher decided to delay it for the next fiscal year.

From first person to third person, interesting. Thank you so much, that's exciting.

That's quite a departure from Shadow Warrior and Hard Reset.

Still, should be very interesting.

I'm thinking we'll get our first look at the Plague Tale sequel from Asobo. AA game that was still pretty big, had amazing graphics and got lots of fanfare. Makes sense to me

Look a few posts above.

One of the games is Shady Part of Me shadow drop. The other is probably Evil West.
