The public screening will begin next Tuesday solely on the official 505 Games YouTube channel at 9 a.m. ET, inviting players to expect updates on previously announced titles, as well as "a surprise or two along the way."

With our first-ever showcase, we’re thrilled to present just a handful of the new games we have in the pipeline for 2022 and beyond. We’d be honored for people to tune in and see what we have in store for them."

From Dead by Daylight to Sniper Elite III, Payday 2, Assetto Corsa, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Terraria, Abzû, Control and the PC release of Death Stranding: Director's Cut, 505 Games has been credited for publishing a wide variety of titles on platforms for those on Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, PC (Steam, Epic and GoG) and mobile devices.
