The Last of Us co-director Bruce Straley wants to deliver a "unique type of storytelling" with Coven of the Chicken Foot, a lush love letter to ICO and Shadow of the Colossus

Big in 2026 | The debut adventure from Wildflower Interactive has big ambitions in a challenging genre: "We've had to come up with innovative ways to work in the complicated companion space"

as far as video game events go, agdq is uniquely chill and welcoming. it's been a refreshing experience! I asked gdq's director of operations about plans for expansion -- and how gdq intends to do so without losing what makes the event so special

Even as AGDQ continues to grow and attract more attendees, Merkle wants to preserve the show’s unique vibe.

“Intimacy is a core part of it,” he said.

That intimacy – and a rigorous set of rules – means people feel safe at AGDQ. This comes through whether you’re in attendance or watching along from home. What other video game event, after all, boasts “trans rights” as its rallying cry? Merkle recognizes the importance of maintaining that core component of the event as well.

“If you’re harassing anybody in our community or making people feel uncomfortable, we don’t want you here,” he said. “I think the community has come to expect that type of vibe at this event, and that’s why we have so many people that feel safe to come to these events. … We take it seriously.”

Coven of the Chicken Foot is Bruce Straley’s first game since leaving Naughty Dog in 2017. I spoke to him about the project ahead of the Game Awards, which has a lot more going on than its trailer implies. www.polygon.com/coven-of-the...
