TRIBECA FESTIVAL REVEALS 2022 OFFICIAL GAMES SELECTIONS
INCLUDES WORLD PREMIERES AND NEVER-BEFORE-PLAYED DIGITAL DEMOS FOR FANS ACROSS THE WORLD, AND IN-PERSON DEMOS ACROSS NEW YORK CITY
GAMES PROGRAMMING WILL FEATURE A SPECIAL LIVE PLAYTHROUGH OF RENOWNED VIDEO GAME WRITER AND DESIGNER SAM BARLOW'S INTERACTIVE THRILLER IMMORTALITY
NEW YORK - (April 26, 2022) - The 2022 Tribeca Festival today unveiled its official Games selections, which celebrate the convergence of games, entertainment, and culture. This year's lineup features nine titles that demonstrate phenomenal storytelling, art, and innovation through interactive experiences. Each selection will vie for the Tribeca Games Award, which honors an unreleased game for its excellence in art and storytelling through design, artistic mastery, and highly immersive worlds.
The games program features the world premieres of Immortality, an interactive trilogy in which players can explore the legend of Marissa Marcel, a film star who disappeared, through her work; OXENFREE II: Lost Signals, the mind-bending follow up to the critically acclaimed narrative adventure OXENFREE, from Night School Studio; and Cuphead - The Delicious Last Course, another helping of classic Cuphead action with new weapons, magical charms, and more.
This year's selections represent the incredible range of how games prove to be a powerful form of storytelling, said Vice President of Tribeca Games and Immersive Casey Baltes. We're continuing to expand how audiences and players interact with games, not only as entertainment but as one of the most impactful cultural mediums.
In 2021, Tribeca Festival featured its first ever Official Selections for Games, including Ember Lab's visually stunning Kena: Bridge of Spirits; Luis Antonio's interactive thriller Twelve Minutes, starring James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Dafoe; and the inaugural Tribeca Games Award winner, NORCO, which was praised by critics upon its release in March 2022 for its brilliant, narrative-rich experience.
From June 11-19, the Tribeca Festival once again offers digital experiences for global audiences powered by Parsec. Those able to join the Festival in person this year will be the first to experience a playable Games Gallery featuring demos, art, and artifacts for this year's selections, hosted at Tribeca Festival's hub, Spring Studios (50 Varick Street).
Additionally, the Tribeca Games Spotlight, an online showcase of this year's official selections, features never-before-seen footage and interviews from the creators of the official sections as part of the Summer Game Fest - a free, all-digital global celebration of video games streaming online. Games fans across the globe can tune in on June 10 at 3pm EDT via Tribeca's website, major streaming platforms, and summergamefest.com.
The 2022 Tribeca Festival Games Official Selections are as follows:
