Koch Media and Deep Silver are holding their own showcase for the digital E3 this year, but in the run-up to the event, expectations have now been noticeably dampened. In addition to Dead Island 2, several well-known game brands will be missing.
The expectations were high when Koch Media and Deep Silver announced their own E3 event. After all, the two companies have a number of projects for well-known brands in the works. Basically nothing of these will be seen at the event.
In the run-up to the fair, Deep Silver has published a statement to keep expectations in check. An announcement will be made at the opening event of the Summer Games Fest on June 11th, but neither there nor at the in-house event will be anything from Dead Island 2, for example.
Our parent company @KochMedia_HQ
is making an announcement as part of #SummerGamesFeston June 11th. To give you a head’s up, you won’t see Dead Island, Saints Row, Metro or TimeSplitters there (or at any other E3 2021 event). We’ll let you know when we have news to share.— Deep Silver (@deepsilver) June 4, 2021
Until now it was almost assumed that a new Saints Row, a fresh Metro or the comeback of TimeSplitters could be seen, now it is clear that these three series will not be shown at E3 2021 either. Let the fans know if you have any news to share on this.
At least with regard to TimeSplitters, the move is understandable, after all, after many years of waiting, the new game was only confirmed a few weeks ago. Especially with regard to Dead Island 2, today’s news is probably a disappointment. What else will Koch Media and Deep Silver be showing at E3?
