We’re baaack. #Future Of Play Direct Season 2 is Coming December 2021!
#FutureOfPlay Direct is an annual showcase highlighting bold new ways to play and a freshly curated collection of games.
The show is inspired by 90’s anime hype machine Toonami and hosted by our very own v-tuber character along with a few special guests. Since launching the first Direct during E3 and Summer Game Fest in 2021, we’ve decided to commit to doing this twice a year! Once will be during E3 and again during The Game Awards (TGA) season.
This time around we’ll air it as either a pre-show or post-show during TGA and will feature it as a VOD on our YouTube channel afterwards.
Games We Love
We love working with teams who have something to say and are making new works for people who want more from their video games. Here’s what we look at when selecting featured titles: gameplay, aesthetic, and team composition.
Content Options
1. Trailer
– A full length trailer with new footage, never before seen, a gameplay trailer, etc.
– Up to 90 seconds.
– What we need: full trailer in 1080p resolution.
2. Short Spotlight or Teaser
– A short video slot of launch dates or platform announcements. Not a full length trailer but something tasty and bite-sized.
– 30-60 seconds
– What we need: full spotlight or teaser in 1080p resolution
3. GameDevs React Compilation
– Our GameDevs React series, where we have devs read reviews (if their game is out) comments, and tweets (if their game is upcoming). During the direct we will show a 2-3 minute compliation of some of our favorite moments from developers.
– Your solo “full-episode” will then air in the following weeks on our YouTube channel. We’ll let you know ahead of time when it’s scheduled
– What we need: a game image for the background (environment art is best), transparent game logo, and we’ll schedule a GDR recording with you for 30 minutes on Zoom.
4. Hype Reel Spotlight
– For folks who don’t have much new footage to show but still want to be featured.
– This high energy 2 minute reel will play towards the end of our Direct, closing out the show.
– What we need: 30 seconds of footage from your game. This can be from existing trailers and gameplay. No new content is required!
