Everything announced at Summer Game Fest 2025

First up, it's up to us to help you make sense of what might come up tonight, with our list of Summer Game Fest predictions. There are more than 20 major publishers confirmed on the official list of 2025 partners, and plenty of smaller teams there too. That means an awful lot of potential, so we've done our best to outline what each of the big players is likely to bring to the table. There's no guarantee, but these are our personal best bets.

And if, like us, you're in the business of huffing copium, we've also got a more alternative, more outlandish version of that official predictions piece. Our Summer Game Fest Wildcard Wishlist features such wild guesses as 'A new Animal Crossing reveal days after the Switch 2 release', 'The Witcher 4 gameplay shortly after CDPR's tech demo', and 'The Elder Scrolls 6 making any kind of appearance at all'. Granted, that last one is a possibility for Sunday's Xbox show, but I'll be shocked if it shows up today.

Digging back a little further into reality, one game I'm pretty certain is going to be taking the stage is 007: First Light, the game previously known as Project 007. After a triumphant (not quite) capstone at the Sony State of Play earlier this week, it's shaping up to be one of the bigger games of this week.

If you're not familiar, it's a James Bond origin game from the team behind the Hitman games. If that sounds great, you're right, and if you want to be vindicated, you can check out the trailer below. There's a lot of that intricate, third-person hitman DNA, accompanied by the cinematic spectacle that Bond is best known for. Develop IO Interactive have promised a deeper dive throughout the week, so SGF seems a likely home for them.

Elsewhere, I'd be shocked if Borderlands 4 didn't make an appearance. Publisher 2K is a partner, and while I think we won't be seeing much of GTA 6, the new looter-shooter and Mafia: The Old Country do seem like the kind of high-profile releases with exactly the right kind of release date that I think we'll be getting a good look at both of them.

Back to copium, and there sure has been a lot of news around Hollow Knight: Silksong over the last couple of days. Years and years of waiting might finally be drawing to an end, as a series of Steam updates have some assuming that one of the most long-anticipated releases perhaps ever is finally almost upon us.

And once more back to something a little more realistic, is a good old-fashioned leak. There's a lot of noise around the Lies of P DLC, after an Xbox trailer ended with an 'available now' message. That would imply that the fairytale soulslike is gearing up to drop its major expansion straight away, but whether that's tonight or later this weekend isn't clear - that is an Xbox trailer after all.

Rollin Bishop, US Managing Editor and Your Live Blogging Friend, signing on for the rest of the evening! One surefire way to gets some hints at what to expect from Summer Game Fest's big live show? Geoff Keighley's socials. Take, for example, the below. Is this a tease? A hint of some kind? An oblique Muppet reference? It's certainly a rooster.

I do wonder if we won't see some of the rumored PlayStation State of Play titles that didn't end up showing up during that specific event. With all of these showcases back to back to back, scuttlebutt flies around rapidly and sometimes it feels hard to pin down where, exactly, something might actually get revealed.

Maybe this is where we get Resident Evil 9 or that rumored God of War 2.5D spin-off? Weirder things have happened. (And will likely happen; have you seen the rooster tease?)

With just two hours to go, this is the part of every Geoff Keighley production where I go, "Wait, is there a pre-show? There's probably a pre-show, right?" It never fails to catch me by surprise, and if I'm being totally honest I suspect it'll do so again this year! Roughly 30 minutes (I expect) or so prior to the event itself is when we will all collectively find out together.

Speaking of State of Play no-shows that I'd love to see make an appearance tonight tonight, the long-rumored Final Fantasy 9 remake sure would go down smooth. While I personally continue to hold out hope for Final Fantasy 8 to get some love, there's plenty more evidence that FF9 is next in line. Anyway, feel free to prep my clown makeup.

Just one hour to go folks! (Or less is there's a surprise pre-show; don't judge me.) Still plenty of time to prepare yourself, eat some food and grab and drink, and make incredibly wrong predictions.

My perennial favorite prediction: Valkyria Chronicles remasters. Or at least Valkyria Chronicles 3 finally in English. I am going to eventually speak this one into reality, Sega, so you'd best to just ahead and make them.

45 minutes to go! Not all that long to wait now. That's enough about my predictions, however! What do you think will show up? Anything you're particularly excited for? Just how much will Geoff's friend Hideo Kojima show up, do you think?

Be sure to reach out to GamesRadar+'s own Ali Jones at alistair dot jones at futurenet dot com with all of your predictions. And don't forget to tell him who sent you!

Nearly there now with just 30 minutes left! I've already had my dinner so you're stuck with me for the rest of the ride. If this is your first time, be warned that these things can move along pretty fast. One announcement into another into another. It's not quite as gnarly as The Game Awards, but Geoff really does try to pack 'em full.

Folks, we've hit 15 minutes out. (No pre-show, seems like. Whew. No surprises there this year.)

Here's hoping we've got an exciting show ahead of us. I tend to find the SGF opening to be, for lack of a better phrase, a mixed bag. But there's always at least one big announcement that makes me appreciate this particular event stepping into the hole where E3 once was.

Dawn of the final 10 minutes... I will say, Summer Game Fest has its work cut out for itself this year. Opinions seem fairly polarized about how this week's PlayStation State of Play went down, but speaking purely for myself it was, in a word, a banger. Marvel fighting game! Final Fantasy Tactis remaster! Let's see what sort of competition Big Geoff can put up tonight.

All right, people. Last warning as there's less than 5 minutes remaining! In fact, the pre-roll countdown has officially started on the SGF stream proper. I thank all of you that have stuck it out with me these many hours and wish all of you your heart's deepest gaming desire.

And here we go...

And here comes Geoff Keighley himself, of course. Like the colors of the shoes this year, Geoff.

"I love the energy." OK.

Geoff giving a big thanks to everyone for joining. Apparently some guy named Dante cancelled his date just to be around for this showcase and Geoff gives him a shout out for it. Teases puppets and Lego and also new game announcements.

Highlights top selling new Steam games for the year through May. Wild mix with REPO, Schedule 1, Monster Hunter Wilds, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Inzoi, Civilization 7, Oblivion Remastered, Elden Ring: Nightreign, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, and Split Fiction.

Lots of stats coming outta Keighley. Claims the challenge is discovery now. SGF, all the various showcases around it, Steam Next Fest, and the like are incredibly important, according to him. I don't disagree! We love Steam Next Fest.

First announcement is here! From a passionate team, per Geoff. I believe it.

"You think you're the harbinger... You might be." Spooky vibes here. Extremely dark, horrifying looking Giger-eseque critters. Dark Souls armor pushed to metal extremes. Lots of punching and gore and gross. Very funny to start off with this.

OK, never mind, snark rescinded there's some kind of crossbow shotgun. I did not know I wanted that but I do now.

Something about being worshipped until failing, not being a god. Lotta nasty-looking limbs in Mortal Shell 2. Coming 2026! Good for them.

Really going from one end to another here to talk about the end of the upcoming Fortnite season tomorrow with a Death Star Sabotage live event.

X-wing taking on Tie Fighters. Hit 'em with everything you got. That was... brief. Sure looks like a Death Star!

Geoff welcomes Hideo Kojima to the stage. Go ahead and stamp that bingo square.

Looks like we're going to talk Death Stranding 2. What does he hope people take away from it when they can play? Kojima immediately starts in about experiencing the pandemic. "I wanted to show some sort of new connection after the pandemic, so I want everything to think about when they play the game." And now: an exclusive clip.

I did not play the original Death Stranding. In some ways, I suspect I'm not prepared to describe the office scene going on here and in other ways I think I'm perfectly in line with anyone that did.

Looks like a Bridges office. Man instructed to take a seat. He seems a bit fidgety. Grabs a smoke. "No smoking please." Classic. Got 'em.

Lucy introduces Neil. "What do you do for a living?" He's a porter. Like Sam, right? See, I know things. Skips to the end of the session. But before he goes, Lucy stops him. "So you made it then?" Huh? "You really don't remember me?" Should he? She grabs his hand, they both have the same symbol. "The girl... you're alive?" She hits him, then she pulls her in to embrace.

And then... black. Sure. Fine. Where was that in the game? Who could possibly say! Not me! Apparently we met them in the SXSW trailer. I believe you, Geoff. Apparently Neil and Lucy are important characters, they both have the cancer (?) mark, but Kojima can't fully say without spoiling anything. Apparently Neil is playing a role similar to Cliff from Death Stranding. Per Kojima, they were trying to top what Mads did in the original.

The game's out in 20 days, so Kojima says he won't say much more. But there's going to be a live gameplay demo on Sunday, June 8, hosted by Keighley. "Yes, I will show you the gameplay scene with Neil," says Kojima. I believe you.

Co-host Lucy James enters the arena! Good for her. While we wait for more, here's that gnarly Mortal Shell 2 trailer:

Mortal Shell II - Official Announcement Trailer - YouTube

Watch On

And another game! Tom Hardy as narrator. Good for him. This from Raw Power Games. Looks like fantastical knights. "I sought no war, but war found me." Ain't that the way, Tom.

Scenes of battle, knights in armor. Burning villages. Charging horses into spears. "I shall find no peace. On this road, there is only death." Hell man get a new road then maybe?

Looks like maybe some kind of RTS? Chronicles Medieval, out in Early Access 2026 for PC via Steam.

And now: Sonic Racing Crossworlds! A lot of these have leaked. "Being revealed here for the first time." Sure, buddy. Sure.

Lots of racing like we've seen before. Teasing lots of racers from across the Sonic universe. As expected. But also: beyond! Hatsune Miku is here! Ichiban Kasuga is here! Joker from Persona 5 is here! Sega really digging into everything it can.

September 25, 2025. None of those teases were actually of the leaked stuff, I don't think? No SpongeBob. Takashi Iizuka is here to talk about Sonic Racing CrossWorlds!

"Also, unlike another kart racing game, this game will have line cross-platform matchmaking." Shots fired. Your move, Nintendo. "Lastly, I have one more thing I'd like to show everyone here today..." Oh, that's Minecraft Steve.

Brand new action RPG from Bandai Namco! Do like to hear it. Spooky giant meteor in the sky. Fighting against some gothic-looking monster inside a mansion. Dude has a heart (?) on his back. Is this... Code Vein?

Portals. Lots of focus on the color yellow. Something about time. "You have the power to change... all of this!" I want to believe. "If time were a weapon to wield, could you undo the sins of ruin?" I want to say... yes? Looks like maybe there's some kind of gameplay mechanic to move time forward or back? Some nice action RPG juggling combat. Getting some real Scarlet Nexus vibes here.

It is! Code Vein 2! Coming 2026!

"We are waiting for you," in this next one. Gloomy atmosphere, third-person exploration in water. Strange critters dropping off walls, growing and slithering. Gross.

"In time, you will find us." Game is End of Abyss, Coming 2026. Console and PC looks like. "A very moody cool new game," per Geoff. New game from Section 9 Entertainment.

Mouse PI is up! This is the Fleischer-style shooter with mice. The black-and-white animation here remains very cool. Troy Baker voices Jack Pepper, apparently. Good for him. "Another role for Troy Baker," Geoff says. Not wrong.

Developer PlaySide not done! Premium RTS for PC, based on an iconic fantasy franchise. Someone yells Final Fantasy – sorry pal, this looks like Game of Thrones. Jon Snow runs through a fiery landscape to take on the Night King. "This is not the game you know," voiceover reveals.

Night King looking a bit sluggish as he plays with Jon Snow, hitting with a spear. Dragon burns the ground. Unsullied join the battle! don't remember that from the show. "You decide who wins, and who dies." Jon Snow takes the spear to the stomach and falls. And now he's one of the White Walkers! OK, you got me. Game of Thrones, War for Westeros, coming 2026 to PC via Steam.

Here's that Code Vein 2 trailer, by the way. You should watch it:

CODE VEIN II — Announcement Trailer - YouTube

Some kind of new FPS RPG from Mundfish. Looks to be a space-y, futuristic, but somewhat art deco game. Atomic Heart 2! I should have know the moment it was a Mundfish. But also, now there's a Queen song as soundtrack. Admittedly, this action looks basically like exactly what I'd want. Gunplay, strange tech, fantastical elements... You love to see it.

Robots and little guys? Mundfish, you shouldn't have. Also apparently parachutes play a big role? Lots of gliding being shown. Also sex and drugs in some kind of brothel. All right.

Is it weird that this made me miss The Saboteur? Atomic Heart 2 "in active development" that's a spiritual successor, not direct sequel. RPG elements even a bigger deal this time around. That's not all from Mundfish though!

There's... some kind of giant cube in the sky that has stuff on it like a Halo ring. Being seen through the eyes of some dude vlogging. "How did the whole of humanity miss it, and did we actually miss it?" Suggests maybe it was always there and only revealed itself recently. Gunplay here seems pretty hectic and fast-paced. Once again with the robots and speedy gameplay. The Cube: Atomic Universe is coming to PC and console.

MMORPG shooter set in the Atomic Universe! What does that even mean? I don't know!

Marvel Cosmic Invasion up now. Up to 15 characters to play, with two new ones being revealed now. Rocket Raccoon and She-Hulk! Good for them. I love this classic beat-'em-up cartoony art style.

She-Hulk is also appropriately beefy. Really dominating space to take on a bunch of different dudes. No time to waste, though, as we immediately segue to Capcom!

Samurai plus strange abilities plus big monsters makes me assume Onimusha. Bigger dude with a glowing belly is putting up a fight before main guy takes him down like Gandalf and the Balrog. Now it's another guy with a sword. "Words never did work between us, did they?" Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Now my man's hand is glowing and some lady pops up. 2026, wishlist now. OK.

"You guys all know I love my puppets." We do, Geoff. We do. Next thing has puppets, of course. Combines comedic storytelling and arcade fighting action. Puppet looks at some boxing gloves. "An unadoptable orphan." Oh no, I love this. These puppet looks so stupid.

Imagine if Muppets did Rocky and you've got the vibe. The orphan has to save the other orphans, it seems like, by fighting in the ring? You know, that old chestnut. All sorts of things from fighting to plunging toilets appear to be on the menu. Felt That Boxing, seems to be the name. Love it. PC via Steam.

Brand-new game once again. "In deception, we trust." Hm. Wolves and lambs against each other – Killer Inn. Murder mystery action game. Killers lurk in plain sight. Kill someone, clues remains. Lambs try to find clues to unmask the culprit. Wolves win by killing every lamb, lambs win by rooting out wolves. Loot, steal, RPG elements, find wolves hiding, try to escape. A very complicated Among Us, then.

24-player multiplayer game from Square Enix where you use social deduction skills. As a former Foamstars enjoyer, I wish them the best.

Arc Raiders up now! Release date trailer! Do like the look of this; stylized in the exact kind of way I enjoy.

Woman wakes up in a room before wandering through a crowded market. Listening to a self-help tape. "Surround yourself with resourceful friends." Sounds easy enough. Now a group of three start taking on enemies. "Here, you are in control." Hope so. Big explosion, our friend gets knocked to the ground and almost taken out but surprise! There's a big robot over everyone.

October 30, 2025 for PC and console.

Dune: Awakening up next, apparently. Releases on June 10, but anyone can play as part of Steam advanced access if they grab it now. Lots of sand in this trailer. Spotlight hits some folks trying to escape, but then a third party rockets the ship with the spotlight. Classic. Now we're zooming around dunes, climbing rocks, watching storms, build bases, again with the dunes, now we're walking, omnithopter! Sand worm! Civilzation! That dagger salute! But not for our friend...

Our friend goes their separate way and choices another path. Our little sand people have different designs now and pull apart. Oh how the turns table.

Former friends are now enemies! Gunplay! More sand sculptures pulling apart! Blades! Now that's what I call Dune. Head start currently available.

Next up: Tides of Annihilation? Same spooky vibes, seems like Jennifer English talking. Big critters doing big elementral strikes. "Wield the power of the gods." Lots of dodging and ducking around said critters.

"To save what remains of our broken worlds, you need only take my hands." I was wrong! Chrono Odyssey! Not Tides of Annihilation. My bad.

Extremely Genshin-coded game up now. Hard to tell which one this is so far. Lots of characters, anime fighting, big fantasy elements. Ah, Wuthering Waves, there we go.

Now this I like. Mio: Memories in Orbit looks to have some interesting art direction. Metroidvania platformer, demo already on Steam as part of Steam Next Fest.

Next up: Out of Words. Stop-motion platformer, I believe Lucy said. Handcrafted co-op journey. Apparently our friends do not have mouths. A game for two folks. Reminds me a bit like if It Takes Two had the whimsy of Harold Halibut. Coming 2026, PC and console. "What a real unique and different game," says Geoff.

Summer Game Fest trailer for Mafia: The Old Country! "An enemy cannot hurt you like a friend." Introducing various characters and the criminal element. Sometimes, people need to be reminded of their obligations. "Where I come from, commitments means everything."

Seems like setting the stage for how this family comes about. "We can choose who we are." "And who are you?" A fair question.

Lucy just made a Lego joke about studs. I saw it, Lucy. Lego Builder's Journey devs are doing a two-player game. Trailer is some charming Lego bricks rolling around and building. And now we're exploring and building contraptions and – oh my god this is basically a Lego SnipperClips of sorts. Sold.

Lego Voyagers! Out for PC and console. But now: Carolyn Lawrence on stage talking about Nickelodeon. *squints*

NickToons and the Dice of Destiny. Carolyn does the Sandy voice. Sounds like Timmy from Fairly OddParents is running some kind of tabletop game. SpongeBob is a knight. Magic begins Fall 2025. That... looks like Tiny Tina's Wonderlands for Nickelodeon. Not opposed.

Lies of P DLC new look! Chained gross thing in the middle of room opens to reveal an even grosser critter inside. Sure seems like Lies of P.

Of all the various Soulslike games, I do feel that Lies of P understood the assignment while also managing to be something of its own. Lies of P Overture looks solid and, surprise, it's available today. "Wow!" an audience member says. Agreed.

This one is apparently teased as Doki Doki Literature Club meets Silent Hill. Hm. some weird exploratory stuff happening while disturbing narration goes on with multiple voices. Disconcerting.

"Plates of her legs, beautiful. Broken." Don't like that. "The garden is lush with rain." And now there's some kind of strange growth on the walls that looks like a face? Fractured Blooms. "There's a hunger that feeds and blooms, and I will feed, and I will bloom." PC via Steam. Disturbing. I do think it meets the description.

Quick look at Blade & Soul Neo! Sure looks like Blade * Soul plus Neo. And now, another gacha game maybe? Or is... is this still Blade & Soul Neo? No! Blade & Soul Heroes. No offense to anyone that loves these games; I'm sure they're great. I'm just not familiar with you game.

OK, wait, is this the One Punch Man villain? Yes it is, because that's the One Punch Man himself. Good for him.

Wait that wasn't even Blade & Soul that was Crystal of Atlan. And now we've just as quickly moved to Seven Deadly Sins Origin. Geoff, please, you gotta give me a moment to even know what's going on here.

Looks to be an adventure game about the early Seven Deadly Sins stuff? Some of these looks familiar. Also there's fishing and fighting and multiple characters and lots of extremely anime art. PS5 and PC via Steam.

Oh we've hit a montage about State of Unreal. Good time to take a bathroom break if you need. Just... a recap? Seems like.

Wait never mind come back. We've moved on to something Jurassic Park. Evolution 3, maybe? Looks like managing a park and dinos.

Yup, there it is. Jurassic World Evolution 3. October 21 for PC and console. And now, Celia Schilling from Yacht Club Games. World premiere look at next IP, Mina the Hollower.

"This year, we're bringing our next bona fide classic." The classic Zelda vibes are immaculate. Think I saw an October 31 release date in there? The pixel art and enemies look picture. Lots of weapons and different ways to take monsters on, looks like. Demo out now??

Kyle Bosman sneaks on stage to give a letter. Geoff reads the strange thing. Tells him to skip the Silksong trailer for... Deadpool. "Oh, red band trailer!" Sounds like Ryan Reynolds quite a lot if not actually him. Deadpool VR. Running around with guns and blade. Honestly there's a lot going on here.

"All your dreams of being inside me come true in VR!" Deadpool VR, late 2025, only on Meta Quest 3 and 3S. That was Neil Patrick Harris voicing, apparently!

Dying Light the Beast up now! Trailer apparently will also have a release date. Asking about the baron, who is experimenting on humans. "God only knows what the baron is planning to do with those monsters." Atmospheric environments here with creepy critters. Good use of light, honestly. Showing parkour, driving, ziplining, slicing heads off. Apparently Kyle Crane is out to get the baron for revenge if nothing else. I don't blame him.

Dying Light the Beast is out August 22! IGN apparently has more in looks at clock an hour.

Mixtape is up now. Very excited for this one. The stylistic animation and caricature-esque character designs are delightful. "This year, experience a retrospective like no other." Looks like you can TP a house? Promoting an honestly incredible soundtrack. Joy Division, The Cure, much more. "Coming Soon." Xbox, PC, PS5.

And immediately onto the next thing. I've no idea what I'm looking at. Some kind of zodiac game?

The combat and general animation looks an awful lot like Hades? Including the giant bosses. "We fight for a future filled with hope!" Me too, dog. Me too. Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree out September 19 for PC and console. Roguelike from Bandai Namco!

Geoff struggling to say the name of the city this next one is inspired by. Axe of Blood. Looks like a brawler maybe?

Oh yeah, a brawler for sure. Some Sifu and Arkham vibes here. Combat seems slick if a little too sticky? Hard to say without having it in my own hands. Also there are guns! Shooting a shotgun and then throwing it. Big bad with a chainsaw looks gnarly... The vibes are great, honestly. Oops: Acts of Blood, not Axe of Blood. 2026! Solo dev!

New from Tribute Games! Toronto, 20XX. Oh hell it's a new Scott Pilgrim! Yes!

Battle across space and time! A beat-'em-up! Anamanaguchi! 7 playable characters! Bunch of characters! Quests to complex and chaos to conquer! Scott Pilgrim EX, coming 2026.

And now, a message from Maggie Robertson. You know, voice of Lady Dimitrescu. The price of Resident Evil Village has been lowered, apparently? There's a Capcom sale. Good for them.

And now: The First Descendant. Honestly, I didn't realize Geoff would let them be these horny. Moody song while people fight futuristic robots (?) and stand in the rain. Breakthrough available August 7, I believe it said.

No time to find out for sure! We're already moving along to something where you can cut off limbs. Scum. Crafting, fighting, scavenging, eating... pooping. Sigh.

Full launch, June 17. OK.

MindsEye up now! And a Mad World cover, of course. Dark nights, strange implants not working quite right. Driving around. "Diaz, you were a good soldier." Thanks, bud.

Does look like some actual shooting gameplay and driving mixed in here with cutscenes. Out June 10. Also, Hitman x MindsEye is coming. Agent 47 will be contracted for a "very special assignment," apparently.

007 First Light still coming in 2026, but apparently someone near and dear to the Bond universe is coming into the world of Hitman. Le Chiffre! Mads Mikkelsen! Looks like people will be taking him out.

Play the Elusive Target now for free! For a limited time, apparently. "Hitman is live right now, so I thought, why wait?" Good point.

Mads Mikkelsen is actually here and has been invited onto the stage. Let's see how this goes. "Yup, that's it," when Geoff describes who the character. Mads apparently didn't hesitate at all to play the character again. He's not just a brilliant mind hiding behind a desk. "This time, he doesn't outsource the violence any more." Mission is set in a casino in Paris as an homage to the movie while still keep surprising. "He's not gonna beat me in poker; he's gonna figure something else out."

Apparently there's custom poker mechanics. Update is going on right now! Mission starts today, in a few hours, and only runs for 30 days. If you play? Unlock a unique reward in 007 First Light. What is that unlock? Who knows!

New Lego party game up now! Literally. Lego Party. Looks a bit like a tabletop game? Oh, it's Mario Party but Lego. That... that makes a lot of sense. 60 minigames in total.

Coming 2025 for PC and console. No time to stop though: onto Wildgate.

Showing more of Dreamhaven's next title, first from Moonshot Games. Colorful space battles with boarding while trying to take an artifact and prevent others from doing the same. Lots of blasting through shields, dodging lasers. I do like the sense of space here. Open Beta June 9 through June 16. Nice.

New game from Drinkbox, the folks behind Guacamelee! Global reveal of Blighted, more at Day of the Devs apparently. "How did it all come to this?" Dead buried with seeds from tree of memory, people that eat the fruit get the knowledge from the lives that were lived. Apparently the bad guy consumed brains of the living, causing the spread of this blight? Gross. There's a certain amount of Diablo DNA here mixed with Torchlight.

Coming soon. PC via Steam. I like it.

First look at new game from Mundfish Powerhouse. Oh this is... this is gross. Fingers severed and crawling on their own, twisting in unnatural ways. Disfigured. All while you try to avoid and shoot them. Helicoper, spooky house with a whole mess of these things. One big one. One made out of a bunch of them. This is... this is going to speak to a lot of horror gamers, I think. Oh hell is that a baby one? Ill is the name, apparently. Gross.

No time to dwell! Mecha Break up now. "As a top wishlisted game, players are clamoring to know just one thing: when is the release date?" This trailer will tell us, apparently.

Pacific Rim vibes to the news covered showing mechs about to be used. People run away below devastation and rocks, but robots leap into action to save the day and take down the baddies! Good for them.

I think if these mechs where like 20% less busily designed, Mecha Break would be extremely my jam. As it stands, I like watching them cut through enemies and fire bunches and bunches of lasers and missiles. Out July 1!

And now: Infinitesimals. Built by an 8-peson studio, apparently. Looks like Grounded meets Small Soldiers meets Halo. Zooming around blades of grass, branches, avoiding huge bugs while using sci-fi tech and weaponry. Gnarly.

"Whatever it takes, we find a way." Coming 2026. Do like the look of that.

30th anniversary next year for a franchise we all know well. Resident Evil something or other.... Happy birthday being sun. Lots of looks at older game. Maggie Robertson back again. To celebrate early, a message from Jun Takeuchi. "Just a blink of the eye, and it'll be ready," Takeuchi says of the new Resident Evil game. Nothing revealed here, though.

Next up: seems like a fighting game? Lots of Street Fighter characters being teased... Ingrid? Alex? C. Viper? Is this... the next season of fighters?

No chance to figure it out because we're immediately onto some kind of '70s capture the flag game with Team Fortress vibes. Various abilities and characters. Last Flag is the name! Love the sepia trailer here. Gameplay looks to be all about capturing and defending a flag as part of a team. Not surprising given the name!

Last Flag is PC via Steam! New online action game, ultimate game of capture the flag set in the 1970s. Closed alpha later this year.

New look at Wuchang Fallen Feathers. My colleague Austin Wood has really liked what he's seen of this before. Feels a bit like an even more fantastical Chinese-tinged Sekiro, which is by no means a bad thing. Some beautiful environments, characters. "What will it take to finally awaken you?" Out July 25.

And we are immediately into the next thing! Is this... a Wu-Tang Clan game?

Wu-Tang Rise of the Deceiver! PC. Brief look at gameplay maybe seemed like a stylized action co-op game with some serious anime elements. I would like to know more.

No time to think about that! Onto Guild Wars 2, which apparently is letting folks get 2x XP right now. Good time to start, I suppose.

We're done with that, though. Mongil Star Dive from Netmarble looks extremely anime. Closed Beta starts on June 20. And now: a montage. Splitgate 2, Genshin, Popucom, lord have mercy this is going too fast to get them all there's apparently big sale going on in the Epic Games Store.

Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 now! Just... very briefly though. "Here is another game throwing back to a classic animation style." Action roguelike, Into the Unwell.

Strong Felix the Cat vibes to the animation here. Limited color palette. Throw into a well where you fight... living trash? "Maybe it's too much for someone like you." Looks like some platforming elements, a bunch of characters to meet. All right, then.

Ian Proulx, cofounder of Splitgate 2's developer up now. Absolutely spitting fire and taking aim at Halo, Call of Duty, and Titanfall here. Splitgate 2 launches now! "It's f**kin' awesome." I want to believe, Ian.

And now, a trailer showing that now you're thinking with portals but in an FPS game like Halo. It really does feel like the promise of Splitgate taken to its natural conclusion. My head hurts trying to think about how to best play Splitgate 2, but I'm glad it exists. Lots of fancy maneuvering and shooting using portals. Love to see it.

And now: RGG Studio. The Like a Dragon folks are showing off something here. Club where we start has a singer, step outside and light up. Walk up some stairs to the outside hustle and bustle. Neon lights and water. Jazz. 1943.

Love me a period piece. People dash away as combat starts with a man wielding a machete. Fistfights elsewhere. Molotovs. Choices about showing mercy. This seems quite noir and fascinating. Project History is Stranger Than Heaven. Great vibes. Apparently the last tease was set in 1915? Hmmm.

One final reveal here... coming from a studio that is no stranger from delivering blockbuster games. What could it be?

"We are so deeply honored that we get to share it with the world right here at Summer Game Fest," OK. And we're in. FBI station of some sort...

Some mysterious disease is being investigated. Woman works at her computer. Grace Ashcroft is called into the office of a superior. Her cubicle is packed with stuff.

She thinks he's after a report, but he puts on a hold on that. Another body has been found with the same pathology of previous ones. Needs a good analyst, which apparently is Grace. Apparently her mother was murdered in the same hotel as the body... "Perhaps it is time for you to face the past, Grace."

Grace wakes up strapped upside down to a stretcher of some kind? Spooky stuff. "Stay close. They're coming." Somebody's been searching for a special chosen one. Destroyed buildings. Spooky monsters in the dark. Oh hell, it is Resident Evil! Resident Evil Requiem. Playable at Gamescom. Out February 27, 2026.

Marks a bold departure. Much more to share soon. Not just about the survival horror. "Glad we kept it a surprise!" You didn't keep a surprise, you nerd, you literally faked people out with the 30th anniversary segment.

...I'm not mad, though. I'm thrilled. Day of the Devs is technically up next. Looks like we're wrapping up here, folks.

That's a wrap! We're done here! Whew. I need a drink.
