Though there may not be an E3 this year, Geoff Keighley’s Summer Games Fest seems to be serving as a suitable replacement. With that, Devolver Digital has now announced that they will be partaking in this year’s Summer Game Fest, and it will be hosted by industry veteran Suda51.

In a tongue-in-cheek manner typical of Devolver Digital, the studio released a teaser to their Summer Game Fest event, revealing that the showcase will go live on Thursday the 9th of June at 3PM Pacific Time (11PM UK Time).

As with previous years’ showcases, the Devolver Digital presentation will be continuing the now years-long plot involving mind control, blood, monsters, laughs, game announcements – and most importantly for this year – a giant robot controlled by Industry veteran Suda51 (known best for the No More Heroes series). The plot for this year’s event reads as follows:

“A clueless team of Devolver Digital execs, scrambling to produce a presentation, accidentally trigger a reality-bending, industry-wide event that threatens the very fabric of video game time and space.”

Though the humour might not be for everyone, Devolver has seen great success in the past with these wacky and unconventional conferences. Each year the publisher has managed to up the ante and this year seems no different.

With Suda51 said to be hosting this year, it is safe to assume that he and his team at Grasshopper Manufacture will have something to show at this event. We will have to wait and see.
