Players attending the convention in Cologne, Germany, will be able to get an early look at PVKK on the show floor as part of the Indie Arena Booth in Hall 10.2 from August 20 until August 24. Fans will toggle tactile switches, adjust mechanical dials and dutifully line up the trajectory of the mammoth in-game cannon to destroy the invading interplanetary forces. Additionally, fans who visit the booth can collect unique merchandise that’s exclusively available to event attendees and discover other surprises while engaging with the developers in person. PVKK will later appear at other international video game events with a playable demo in the year ahead, including Tokyo Game Show.

Fans curious to learn more about PVKK can follow regular Devlog updates on the game’s Steam page and official social channels, including a brand-new community update video narrated by Bippinbits co-founder René Habermann: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV60NDdW8Tw

PVKK will launch next year and will be published by Kepler Interactive, the video game company and creative studio behind multiple recent critically acclaimed games, including Bionic Bay, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and REMATCH. Alongside its curated line-up of bold, innovative and culturally relevant games, Kepler has also recently collaborated with British independent jewelry maker Hannah Martin for a unique, conceptual digital jewelry collection inspired by Expedition 33, and with fashion designer Robyn Lynch on a capsule collection that is a bold and playful take on how games and fashion interact.
