In a statement on Twitter, they announced that they’re organising a live stream for June 7th “to highlight Black voices in our industry”. This will focus exclusively on games made by Black developers, and games featuring Black protagonists. The three-day showcase will now take place on June 13th, 14th and 15th. It looks like we might be on track to hear more about Baldur’s Gate 3 from Larian, as well as see announcements from Disco Elysium developer ZA/UM, Frostpunk creators 11 Bit Studios, and more. We recognise this is a time for action and voice for speaking out for justice and change to be heard. We stand united for change, for justice and in support of Black Lives Matter." It’s not the only digital event being postponed, though. Many are holding off their big announcements this week in order to give more of a platform to Black voices, in the midst of protests against racism and police violence which were sparked in Amercia, and are now taking place worldwide. We’ll be keeping our stream schedule up to date to keep you informed of any more changes to the upcoming summer gaming events.
