The Guerrilla Collective digital games festival has been delayed
New live stream focused exclusively on games from black developers also announced
Online digital games festival Guerrilla Collective has been postponed by one week amid ongoing anti-racism protests following the death of African American George Floyd while in police custody.
Hosted by Greg Miller and produced by Media Indie Exchange with Kinda Funny Games Showcase, Guerrilla Collective will take the form of a multi-day press conference now scheduled for June 13-15.
The indie focused showcase promises game announcements, trailers and a celebration of gaming culture, with events kicking off at 10am PT / 1am ET / 6pm UK on each day of the festival.
Guerrilla Collective has also announced plans to host a June 7 live stream focused exclusively on games from black developers and titles featuring black protagonists.
