Got plans for tomorrow? Scrap 'em. May 26 is the official airdate of the BitSummit Punch Mixtape Presented by GamesRadar+ (they had to bolt on an extra five minutes to give the hosts time to say the name*), and you're gonna want to tune in.

BitSummit is Japan's longest-lived indie festival—scholars believe it began some time in the Sengoku era**—and this year our pals at GamesRadar are bringing you a recap of the whole thing, featuring trailers, world premieres, and other goodies.

How can you tune in? Thanks for asking. The show goes live on May 26 at 9 am PT / 12 pm ET / 5 pm BST / 6 pm CET / 1 am JST (May 27) / 2 am AEST (May 27). You can catch it all over, whether you want to watch on the GamesRadar website, its YouTube channel, or Twitch.

It's a jam-packed 60 minutes coming to you straight from Kyoto, and it's a doozy. I know this for a fact, owing to my 'working in the same office as GamesRadar' privileges. You'll wanna tune in, folks, especially for [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDACTED]. I thought Japanese broadcast law meant you couldn't do that on television!

And if anything catches your eye from the show, you can head right on over to the BitSummit Punch Steam page to find out more, add stuff to your wishlist, and generally do all the things you can do with videogames on Steam. See you there? See you there.

One of Josh's first memories is of playing Quake 2 on the family computer when he was much too young to be doing that, and he's been irreparably game-brained ever since. His writing has been featured in Vice, Fanbyte, and the Financial Times. He'll play pretty much anything, and has written far too much on everything from visual novels to Assassin's Creed. His most profound loves are for CRPGs, immersive sims, and any game whose ambition outstrips its budget. He thinks you're all far too mean about Deus Ex: Invisible War.
