11. In The Valley Of Gods Is The New Game From Firewatch Devs

In The Valley Of The Gods
Campo Santo

One of the night's most left-field reveals was the new game from Firewatch developers Campo Santo, a 1920s Egypt-set adventure game called In the Valley of Gods.

The game features a distinctive art style that'll be incredibly familiar to anyone who played Firewatch, while the plot apparently revolves around an explorer and filmmaker who explore an Egyptian valley in the hope of uncovering both riches and new discoveries.

The key difference from Firewatch is that the player isn't isolated during their journey: they will have an AI partner for the most part it seems, presumably having to work with them in order to accomplish tasks.

It looks absolutely fantastic, but sadly won't release until sometime in 2019.
