<p>We&#8217;ve recently heard of a new showcase initiative called New Game+ Expo. The expo will bring 14 video game publishers based in North America and Japan together for a showcase. The Expo will bring a digital presentation featuring “dozens of games” including new title announcements and live gameplay demos on June 23. So, we may see some crazy announcements in there!</p>
<p>As expected, the presentation will be airing via Twitch. If you want a specific date and time, it&#8217;s on June 23 at 11:00 a.m. ET. After this, it will be followed by first looks, Q&;A sessions, and more from 12:00 p.m. ET to 7:00 p.m. ET. Finally, the full showcase will be archived on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/newgameplusexpo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">New Game+ Expo YouTube channel</a>. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-158549" src="https://cdn.bagogames.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/21011123/unnamed.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="1080" /></p>
