The Steam Game Festival February 2021 Edition is coming next week with more than 500 games to try.

The festival is set to begin on February 3 at 10 am PST / 1 pm EST / 6 pm GMT and run through February 9. Like last year's lineup of Steam Game Festivals, players will be able to try out a broad selection of demos from upcoming games, as well as tuning in to special livestreamed presentations and play sessions from the developers behind them.

We'll have to wait for the festival to properly begin to start downloading all of the demos and trying them out ourselves, but here are the games Valve highlighted in the official trailer for Steam Game Festival February 2021 Edition.

Hazel Sky
Fling to the Finish
Black Book
Almighty: Kill Your Gods
Shady Knight
Genesis Noir
The Riftbreaker
Bloodroots
Aerial_Knight's Never Yield
Siege Survival: Gloria Victis
Blunt Force
Children of Silentown
Narita Boy

Even that small sampling spans genres and all kinds of developers, so it's a safe bet that the actual Festival will have something to pique your interest no matter what you're into. And it's tough to beat that admission cost.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
