Square Enix Presents Digital Showcase Coming Next Week

Since the Pandemic, a lot of developers have chosen digital showcases over live ones. Sony’s State of Play is an example of a company taking on the Nintendo Direct model. Now, Square Enix is joining the party with a new showcase called Square Enix Presents. Next week on March 18^th, 2020 (Thursday) Square Enix will be presenting a digital showcase full of new information.

Here is what the press release has to say about the new digital showcase. Square Enix Presents is “a series of shows in which the company will reveal new games, updates, and news directly to the global gaming community throughout the year.”

Speaking about the upcoming show itself, the press release also states, “The first show, debuting on March 18 at 17:00 p.m. GMT on Square Enix’s official Twitch and YouTube channels, will run approximately 40-minutes and include the world premiere of the next game in the critically acclaimed and award-winning Life is Strange™ series, featuring an all-new protagonist wielding an exciting new power.”

There is even more in store than just that, with the press release also going so far as to tease:

Let's gooo!

Balan Wonderworld™, which arrives on March 26

I wouldn’t be surprised if we also get some other new announcements and teases not mentioned here. I’m personally excited about the 25^th Anniversary Tomb Raider information. We’ll be covering Square Enix Presents here as well, so keep an eye out for our coverage!
