The upcoming PlayStation State of Play event, streaming live on October 27, will give gamers a closer look at the indie action-adventure game Little Devil Inside. Sony’s digital events, held sporadically throughout the year, are used to keep fans updated on the PlayStation brand and its upcoming game releases. Sony recently announced the next PlayStation State of Play coming October 27, with the event reportedly focusing on upcoming third-party titles rather than large first-party exclusives.

First announced as a Kickstarter project back in 2015, Little Devil Inside is an action role-playing game from independent developer Neostream Interactive. The title will cast players as a monster hunter who has been hired to explore a Victorian-era setting and catalog supernatural occurrences. While the game is primarily an action-adventure experience, Little Devil Inside will include survival, roguelike, and open-world elements to create a truly robust and unique experience. A minimalistic art style also makes the indie title stand out, with simplistic character designs to discover and few pieces of user interface to distract from the journey. Little Devil Inside is a timed PlayStation console exclusive, with the game coming to PC simultaneously and reaching Xbox consoles and the Nintendo Switch after its initial launch.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

As announced by PlayStation via Twitter, October 27’s State of Play will include a brand-new in-depth look at Little Devil Inside. The tweet includes a short clip, captured on PlayStation 5, which demonstrates the game’s unique art style and tone. The gameplay snippet sees a young child exit a train station and wordlessly interact with a sleeping man before the train begins to approach. Little has been seen of the ambitious title since last year, so its inclusion in tomorrow’s State of Play could bring big news such as an impending release date.

While Little Devil Inside is a fascinating independent title with a long development history, developer Neostream Interactive garnered some negative press last year. After the release of a PlayStation 5 reveal trailer in June 2020, many gamers noticed potentially racist character designs in Little Devil Inside. These character models, which represent hostile tribesmen encountered in the game, possessed features that appeared to stem from stereotypes of Afro-diasporic people. Neostream Interactive quickly apologized and stated an intention to change the design or even redesign the enemies entirely, and these characters have not been seen since.

Little Devil Inside has been in development for more than five years, and many gamers are anticipating the ambitious adventure’s release. With a multitude of different features, such as open-world exploration and survival mechanics, the indie title may prove to be another successful timed exclusive for PlayStation. With official confirmation that the game will appear in tomorrow’s State of Play, a firm release date for Little Devil Inside may quite possibly be announced after such a long development journey.
