2021 TRIBECA FESTIVAL UNVEILS FIRST-EVER TRIBECA GAMES OFFICIAL SELECTION LINEUP KICKING OFF WITH A LIVE IN-PERSON CONCERT FEATURING THE SONGS OF RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2

PROGRAM MARKING A DECADE OF GAMES AT TRIBECA TO INCLUDE WORLD PREMIERES AND NEVER-BEFORE-PLAYED DIGITAL DEMOS

FREE LIVE CONCERT FOR NEW YORK CITY AUDIENCES WITH ORIGINAL MUSIC FROM AWARD-WINNING RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 VIDEO GAME SERIES FEATURING RENOWNED MUSICIAN DANIEL LANOIS AND SPECIAL GUESTS

NEW YORK - May 6, 2021 -

The 2021 Tribeca Festival , presented by AT&T, today unveiled its Tribeca Games lineup featuring eight titles joining the Festival as Official Selections, a first-of-its-kind opportunity for multiple video games in a film festival format since Rockstar Games' L.A. Noire became the first video game ever to be honored as Official Selection at the 2011 Festival. The titles will be in competition for the inaugural Tribeca Games Award, which honors an unreleased game for its potential for excellence in art and storytelling through design, artistic mastery and highly immersive worlds.

To celebrate the ten years since video games became part of the Tribeca Festival, Rockstar Games will return with a special live outdoor performance in New York City's The Battery, featuring Red Dead Redemption 2 Original Soundtrack producer, Daniel Lanois, his band and some very special guests performing versions of highlight songs from the evocative and emotional soundtrack of the latest blockbuster game, live in New York City for the first time. Set to take place at sunset in this iconic location, The Songs of Red Dead Redemption 2 will be a must-see performance.

Additionally, Tribeca Games programming will offer digital experiences as part of the Tribeca At Home virtual offerings. From June 11-20, Tribeca will invite game fans from around the world to be the first to experience playable hands-on digital demos, powered by Parsec's remote interactive streaming technology, from emerging and established creators. Demo sessions may be reserved starting May 24 at www.tribecafilm.com/games.

In addition, the Tribeca Games Spotlight, an online showcase of this year's Official Selections, will feature exclusive gameplay footage as part of the Summer Game Fest, a free, all-digital seasonal event streaming online. Fans from around the world will be able to tune in via Tribeca's website, major streaming platforms, and summergamesfest.com.

For over a decade, our mission has been to be a catalyst for placing games and their creators at the forefront of mainstream and artistic culture alongside film, TV and VR/AR, said Tribeca Enterprises and Tribeca Festival Co-Founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal. We continue to embrace the cross pollination and intersection of these storytellers with this year's Tribeca Games Official Selections. And this is just the beginning.

This year's selections showcase the potential for phenomenal storytelling in interactive experiences, with characters and worlds that explore the deep connection we have to ourselves and the world around us, said Casey Baltes, Vice President of Tribeca Games. From action/adventure to interactive thriller to intimate point and click narratives, these selections demonstrate a range of story and gameplay as well as visual style. We fell in love with the characters and the worlds that each game presented to us.

The 2021 Tribeca Festival Games Official Selections are as follows:

Outdoor in-person Immersive installations will be located at various locations throughout NYC; these experiences are free and open to everyone throughout the Festival. Those available virtually can be accessed via the Tribeca Festival website.
