We're slowly but surely starting to get more information regarding upcoming showcases surrounding the Summer Game Fest 2022 (just nothing from Nintendo yet...), and Devolver Digital has stepped out of the shadows to tease their upcoming Devolver Digital Direct 2022 showcase on June 9th at 3pm PT / 11pm BST.
In a short video posted on YouTube, the (surprisingly slick) production is little more than an amusing skit to let viewers know of their upcoming show, with a heavy emphasis on marketing-fuelled countdown timers. In a neat little surprise, however, the video ends with Suda51 himself making a brief appearance, exclaiming "what's up, nerds!". It's unclear if Suda51 will actually feature on June 9th in any capacity, but our presumption is that his appearance is strictly limited to this video.
You can check out the teaser yourself below, just be mindful that it's filled with adult humour and strong language throughout.

YES! Suda 51 going Max Headroom.
They're never funny enough for me to warrant watching
I think Devolver Digital needs presentations need to turn it down to 11. They're so tense. (but I get it if people like it)
They have SO MUCH material for this year's presentation.
I'm always uncertain when I see their awesome presentations, I love how in-your-face (and well produced) they show everything I hate about marketing, and then they do it... As a self aware joke, arguably, but they still do it. It doesn't harm me so I can let it slide, and even sometimes laugh at the otherwise pretty harmless joke portraying themselves as an evil corporation and the people falling for marketing as just plain stupid, just a number for them,... I can even recognise educational value in it, for some people to see through corporate marketing schemes in general...
But Devolver and Suda, I'd be interested for less. Not counting down though, I'll see it when I'll see it, and I'll decide on what terms I may or may not get whatever the final product turns out to be when I decide.
If it's publishing Killer 7 with gyro aiming in handheld, and a Special Reserve or regular retail edition, on the other hand, they just need to say it.
edit: since we're talking marketing, is there a pop up blocker to block pop ups asking me to turn of adblock?
Even though the hype is packaged as being one big meta joke, their games are top-notch and well deserving of actual hype. The excessively gorey presentation in-between the game reveals is still better than having Geoff Keighley staring straight into the camera at me.
I guess it's better than hiring some B list celeb to act excited about things they don't care about. Will still skip to trailers though, even though from what I've gathered from their Twitter when I randomly look, most of their games won't be coming to Switch anymore. Gotta make them pretty and all.
At least maybe...MAYBE.. they'll put up a sale for Enter the Gungeon again..been nearly half a year..and I need some guns.
Awesome. Devolver Digital is one of the best names in the entire industry right now
@Shambo Well... CAPCOM don't related to this showcase. And Suda51, his new studio(which exist due to NetEase help), and Grasshopper Manufacture don't have any deals with CAPCOM about reselling killer7 IP, so... You(also me and others) can only hope about Switch port. CAPCOM even don't use characters from killer7 in their other games, including various crossover games... Why they still holding rights to this IP?! The only two things that they done with IP is: 1 - Allowed Suda51 to use characters from killer7 in TSA: NMH. And 2 - Ported it to PC and only for Steam! Why not make it available on GOG too, at least?! Argh... I hate CAPCOM for their bad attitude to the Nintendo Switch owners and GOG. And not only for that.
I usually enjoy their satirical marketing but this one was just annoying. Not sure why the guy spits that water out… it’s just not funny. Decent production values though.
One of the best companies in the business.
@Vyacheslav333 at the risk of diving or misleading others into baseless speculation myself, setting us up for likely disappointment, it is not entirely impossible that the countdown is for a deal on the IP they cannot announce yet to take effect, and then announce it. Of all the infinite possibilities, it is highly unlikely, but as you said, we can only hope (without being disappointed due to setting to high expectations).
It may be a musical production as well, so don't put any weight on what I just said
Killer 7 , now 17 years old. Seventeen! Xxx
Devolver Digital is hilarious. their E3 video from last(?) year was so effing amazing.
Give me a fps please
"...just be mindful that it's filled with adult humour and strong language throughout."
I'll be surprised if THAT'S the only thing I have to be mindful of when viewing a teaser from Devolver Digital, of all companies.
Dammkit Suda you so many Devolver collabs just make a damn game with them already!
Yikes. That was full on edgelord cringe.
I might have enjoyed that if I was an angsty 14 year old again.
Couldn't even finish the video.
@tyranny_life
holy hell you said exactly everything i was going to say. i'm a little weirded out right now tbh.
😀👉👉
i will add that devolver digital is a great publisher and i have a number of their games. this was unwatchable.
