Summer Game Fest 2024, the not-E3 event of the year, kicked off yesterday with its big Geoff Keighley-hosted presentation, but the excitement continues as more developers show off their games in their own smaller presentations. The Latin American Games Showcase is one such event, featuring exclusive trailers and premieres from Latin American game developers. And such stunning games were shown!
The Latin American Games Showcase presented around 70 games during its hour-and-a-half-long presentation. Thatās a whole lotta games, so below Iāve curated a list of what I thought to be some of the showcaseās top highlights. But, frankly, almost every game featured felt worth mentioning, so I encourage you to check out the full showcase when you have a chance!
