Newcore Games is a multi-platform 2.5D stylish action game ‘Devil within Satgat,’ which is scheduled to be released worldwide through the game distribution platform ‘Steam.’ It was revealed on the 8th that expectations inside and outside the country are trending upward.
On March 4, Bandai Namco Entertainment and Bandai Namco Studio were selected as award winners at the ‘GYAAR Indie Game Contest’ held to lead to the revitalization of the video game market through support and support for game creators worldwide.
The contest selects one company for the platinum award, examines various areas such as graphics, sound, and scenarios, selects a total of eight parts, and uses a total of 100 million yen in support funds to pay the winning companies. Along with the prize money, Bandai Namco Studio can directly support the development and receive support programs, including publishing and IP co-creation support.
It was nominated for the Grand Prize, Best Hardcore Game, and People’s Choice Award at the ‘Game Connect America Game Development Awards’ to be announced at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) held in San Francisco, North America, on March 20th.
In light of the fact that it competed with various console and PC games around the world scheduled to be released this year in 2023 and was nominated for the final target, it seems that the developer’s technology and future growth potential were evaluated positively.
Participation in the ‘Mix Direct Spring 2023 Showcase’, which invites developers who are interested in users and widely introduces the company’s new games, will also be confirmed. It is expected that the competitive edge it has will be introduced.
Afterward, it will also participate in ‘Pax East,’ a popular game exhibition for general users to be held in Boston, USA, from March 23rd. Last year, a demonstration hall was set up at the Intel booth for 20 games selected from among the games awarded in the ‘Epic Mega Grant,’ a program that supports developers who create creative and innovative works using Unreal Engine. The side plans to discuss various cooperation plans with Intel during the period.
Lee Man-Jae, CEO of Newcore Games, said, “Following last year’s Epic Mega Grant selection, we are receiving a lot of congratulations for new startup developers, such as winning influential contests in Japan and North America and awards nominations for March. As much as the value and technology of ‘Devil Within: Satgat’ under development is being evaluated positively, I think it is a step to put more effort into driving up the level of perfection until the official release in the future.”
On the other hand, Newcore Games plans to release a public demo version in the future that will allow users to play the game themselves, with a schedule for the month of March. You can check.
