The biggest games are set to get accolades at The Game Awards on December 12, but first, upcoming indies are getting their turn. On December 10, indie showcase Wholesome Snack offered what’s certainly the most low-key part of The Game Awards, featuring a short, chill stream in place of the main show’s three-hour extravaganza. The biggest surprise at this year’s showcase was the release of one anticipated game in the middle of the show, but that’s far from the only announcement worth seeing.
Naiad was originally announced for a 2022 release before it was hit with a long, indefinite delay. Developer HiWarp recently teased a major announcement coming at the show, and fans’ patience has now paid off. Naiad launched on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC alongside the showcase, bringing its relaxed aquatic adventure to players at long last.
