I really like the way that Devolver Digital has been promotingStrafe. Theofficial websiteis stylized like something from the early internet and even all of the promotional videos are riddled with film grain and VHS artifacts. It emanates that late ’90s vibe they keep pushing the game with. I’m not so certain that every concept inStrafeis from 1996, but it surely looks the part.

What definitely isn’t from 1996 is a “digital” convention, which is what is next on the docket for promotional build-up to the May 9 release of the game. From May 4 to the 8th, you’ll be able to visitStrafecon by going tostrafecon.com. After getting your “digital” tickets, you’ll be able to check out streamers playing the game and have a chance to win digital codes forStrafeor one of thenumerous Collector’s Editionsby participating in the chat rooms.
