Summer Game Fest 2026 roundup

Summer Game Fest 2026 is the big moment for the Not-E3 era. (I’m sure Geoff Keighley gets a real kick out of it.) The opening presentation delivers two hours packed with new game announcements, details on upcoming releases, and plenty of standout reveals—plus launch dates. Personally, I’m still crossing my fingers for a look at Okami 2, though let’s be real: that feels pretty unlikely. (Future Lottie: I ended up being right, yet I still felt a little disappointed.) If you missed the event—or just want a quick recap of everything that was announced—you can check the list of featured games and their trailers below.

Resident Evil – Code: Veronica

We kicked off Summer Game Fest 2026 with a freezing trip to Paris, though romance wasn’t exactly on the menu. Before long, we were whisked away to a bleak stretch of woods. Then, it was confirmed: the game is Resident Evil – Code: Veronica! Yes, a new remake of Resident Evil is officially in the works.

Resident Evil – Code: Veronica launches in 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.

New Cuphead Game and Mighty Cuphead Adventure

Who put a new Cuphead title on their Summer Game Fest bingo card? If that was you, it’s hard not to be thrilled when that puppet finally showed up. Beyond knowing it exists, there isn’t much more to go on yet—but hopefully that changes soon. One thing’s for sure: it’ll be hand-drawn!

Studio MDHR’s announcements didn’t stop there. We also got a quick look at Mighty Cuphead Adventure. This is a brand-new 8-bit action platformer planned for consoles and PC at some point down the line.

Alien Isolation 2

After that, we were sent to a stormy world as Alien Isolation 2 was unveiled. Looks like we’re in for more science-fiction horror too, especially with the Aliens returning as they prepare to plant their eggs—right inside you. It’s going to hurt, but wow, does the game look striking.

Alien Isolation 2 is set to release on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.

Gen Atlas

Gen Atlas is Fumito Ueda’s latest project—creator of Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian. So yes, we’re talking about a handful of hugely respected titles. Originally teased during The Game Awards 2024, we’ve finally received a more meaningful first look at Gen Atlas!

In Gen Atlas, you’ll explore a mysterious planet where silence feels endless. The world is scattered with strange structures and abandoned buildings. Eventually, you’ll come across a robot, but that encounter only adds to the planet’s secrets as you push into fresh areas.

Gen Atlas launches on PC (Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Blood Message

From far-off worlds to ancient China, Blood Message is a new single-player action-adventure. You play as a messenger heading into a dangerous journey with your son, where it often feels like fate is working against you.

Stranger Than Heaven

If you’re looking for a new game set in Japan and featuring Tupac, then Stranger Than Heaven is the one to watch. And yes—Snoop Dogg too! To give you a sense of what’s coming, it’s a new third-person action-adventure that puts you in the role of Makoto Daito. Taking place across five separate locations spanning five different eras, you’ll act as a showman while running a variety of musical events—but it won’t be only about the music.

Stranger Than Heaven is scheduled to release on January 15, 2027, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Haex

Haex is an upcoming open-world action-adventure set in a land called the Wild North. Here’s the twist: it’s a procedurally generated world, so there’s no telling where it might take you. Chasing (and dodging) monsters with other players will probably shape most of your adventures. The trailer also hinted at some engaging puzzle sections. (And an angry wall.)

Haex will be available on PC in 2027.

Dead by Daylight

Dead by Daylight’s tenth anniversary is almost here, and Summer Game Fest brought along an appropriately creepy trailer to mark the milestone. I don’t think I’ll be enjoying it when people start telling me “happy birthday” anytime soon…

Dead by Daylight’s tenth anniversary celebrations begin on June 14, 2026, at 8 PM (ET).

Mortal Shell II

Next up, we got a dose of medieval fantasy with the announcement that the open beta for Mortal Shell II is now live. If you’ve ever wanted to defeat monsters with a lute, this is the time to check out what’s available on PC.

Sand Raiders of Sophie

I won’t lie—I briefly convinced myself this was Wild Wild West The Game. Seriously, who else thought that house looked a lot like the robotic spider from that movie? (And for the record, I don’t mind spoilers—the film came out in 1999.) Instead, the trailer was for Sand Raiders of Sophie, where you’ll build a steampunk-inspired house-vehicle to cross the desert and fight enemies.

Sand Raiders of Sophie is set to launch on June 10, 2026, on PC, with the server slam currently underway.

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced

Then we dove into pirate-style assassin action with Assassin’s

Creed Black Flag Resynced made an appearance on our screens, and we even got the chance to savor a fun little sea shanty as well.

If you want to jump back into this Assassin’s Creed remake, you can play Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced when it launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on 9th July 2026.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin

Taking cues from the graphic novel of the same name, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin delivers a far darker take on the usually bright, joke-filled turtles. (It also nods to how the TMNT began as a parody of 1980s comics, pulling in inspiration from Daredevil and the X-Men.)

Made by Platinum Games, the studio behind Bayonetta and Ninja Gaiden 4, this game puts you in the role of a lone turtle, determined to seek revenge for a family he’s lost. Expect fewer pizza jokes this time around …

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin is slated to release on consoles and PC.

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3

After that, Fortnite took the spotlight at Summer Game Fest. I don’t need to explain what Fortnite is, so here’s a quick look at Chapter 7 Season 3, Runners, arriving later this evening. Alongside it comes a new feature called Spites. These glowing little figures provide different power-ups once collected. John Wick is back, and we also got a sneak peek at the Fortnite Shattered end-of-season event.

Gundam Rogue Orbit

If you’re into huge robots clashing with monsters—and sometimes teaming up or squaring off against other enormous machines—Gundam Rogue Orbit is for you. Developed by Bandai Namco, the game has you taking control of a robot in the vein of Shinji, all in an effort to protect humanity.

Gundam Rogue Orbit is scheduled to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam in 2027.

An Eggstreamely Hard Game

Switching up the vibe you’d find in Untitled Goose Game, An Eggstreamely Hard Game zeroes in on dodging obstacles while doing everything possible to keep your egg safe.

An Eggstreamely Hard Game will launch on 24th July 2026 for PC.

Crossfire

Crossfire is a fresh third-person tactical action-adventure that blends stealth with high-intensity combat. It also leans heavily into storytelling, centering on two rival operatives who end up having to work together. The Adaptive Cover mechanic may be what draws you in most: this cover system adjusts your positioning based on the terrain and the enemies nearby, helping you stay hidden for a longer stretch.

Crossfire will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Control Resonant

We didn’t see Sam Lake dancing (that’s more of a Game Awards moment), though we did get a trailer for Control Resonant. Now it’s time to head back to the FBC—this time from the perspective of Dylan Faden, Jesse Faden’s brother and the key character from the original Control. Resonant will push you to wonder whether the FBC is truly competent in their role, or if they just can’t resist poking at the supernatural a little too often, especially after something slips out of their headquarters—much to Manhattan’s trouble.

As a big admirer of the original game, I’m looking forward to Control Resonant launching on 24th September 2026 for PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Guild Wars 3

Guild Wars 3 has officially been announced! It’s been 14 years since ArenaNet introduced Guild Wars 2, and at last the follow-up has arrived. I’ve been tempted to try Guild Wars for a while—mostly because I enjoy MMOs, but also because I remember running into the first game in PCWorld. (That said, I’m not sure it’ll pull me away from RuneScape.) The trailer offered an engaging look at the world, which seems captivating, along with some of the creatures that call it home.

Guild Wars 3 will be available on PC and PlayStation 5, and the beta will begin in Autumn 2027.

Star Wars Galactic Racer

No matter how you feel about it, it’s time for podracing! If you’re getting ready to take part in one of the most ruthless sports in a galaxy far, far away, prepare for Star Wars Galactic Racer. I even thought I spotted Sebulba from Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.

Star Wars Galactic Racer will debut on 6th October 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

End of Abyss

After touring a galaxy far, far away, it was time to plunge into the ocean’s depths in End of Abyss. This game shows that the sea is packed with plenty of horrors (just like in real life), so be ready if you plan on swimming in these waters.

End of Abyss will release on 1st October 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Last Harbor

From moving beneath the waves to traveling across them, Last Harbor was the next entry showcased at Summer Game Fest. Still, even the shore isn’t truly safe—this trailer makes that clear, with tough, crusty enemies closing in on you.

Last Harbor will be available on PC.

Virtua Fighter Crossroads

Sega has breathed new life into another classic with Virtua Fighter Crossroads. This fighting game is the sixth entry in the series and the first in nearly twenty years. So—are you ready to take down every challenger who dares to step up against you?

Virtua Fighter Crossroads will be released in 2027 for consoles and PCs.

RuneScape Dragonwilds

If you’ve followed me for a while, chances are you already know I’m a huge fan of RuneScape—no exaggeration. I’ll keep things short so you don’t have to sit through a long-winded rundown. (That said, if you still haven’t played RuneScape, you really should fix that.)

RuneScape Dragonwilds is Jagex’s survival crafting game, first landing in early access on PC last year. Now, it’s scheduled to make its way to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on September 15, 2026. You’ll also be able to play it on PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium starting on day one. Curious about Ashenfall, a lost continent tucked into Gielinor? Want to raise your skills and explore a range of regions? Feel like taking on dragons? If that sounds like your kind of adventure, Dragonwilds is a great fit—for you and your friends, if they want to jump in too. (And honestly, I didn’t expect Geoff Keighley to bring up the Falador Massacre…)

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales

Then Nintendo got its moment in the spotlight! (At least, the Nintendo portion of the event.) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is Square Enix and Claytechworks’ newest action RPG. It’s set to arrive soon—specifically on June 18—for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Orbitals

Orbitals is a cooperative space quest that challenges you to work through different levels alongside others. It’s planned for a Summer 2026 release on Nintendo Switch 2.

Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions

Staying in space, we also got a look at Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions next. In this one, you’ll team up with friends to carry out planet-scale missions before heading to a brand-new destination.

Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions is set to launch on June 11, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2.

Soulframe Preludes

Soulframe is an upcoming free-to-play MMORPG that seems to blend dark fantasy with science fiction. The trailer offered a quick preview of the combat and showcased some striking visuals, including a remarkable wolf.

Soulframe Preludes is the game’s pre-alpha, and you can jump in now.

Grounded 2 Into The Abyss

Now it’s time to shrink down for a look at Grounded 2’s upcoming update, Into The Abyss. From what we saw, it’ll add a variety of new creatures—including one extremely angry lizard.

Grounded 2 Into The Abyss launches on August 11, 2026, for Xbox Series X/S, PC, and PlayStation 5. That same day also marks Grounded 2’s debut on PlayStation 5.

Mafia: The Old Country – Man of Honor

After that, we received a short teaser trailer for Mafia: The Old Country’s upcoming narrative expansion. The expansion is called Man of Honor, and the teaser shared very little detail!

Mafia: The Old Country – Man of Honor is scheduled to release on August 14, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

1666 Amsterdam

Next came a new game from the mind behind Assassin’s Creed: 1666 Amsterdam. It mixes witchcraft with time travel, putting you up against dangerous opponents as you move between two playable characters—Noa and Aaron. Noa will lean into witchcraft, while Aaron is, unsurprisingly, a cat.

1666 Amsterdam launches on PC in early access later this year. Its prologue, which lasts 30 minutes, is currently available on both Steam and the Epic Games Store.

SAW: Genesis

A small guest hopped onto the stage to introduce the next title. Afterward, we got a closer look at SAW: Genesis. Set a full century before Jigsaw arrives, this three-versus-one horror game tasks you with either breaking free from a chain of terrifying traps or becoming the person who sets them.

SAW: Genesis will be available on PC, and you can sign up for the closed alpha right now.

Lords of the Fallen II

Ready for a truly grand dose of high fantasy—plus a woman with winged arms? Then get set to take on dragons and other terrifying foes in Lords of the Fallen II, an action RPG.

Lords of the Fallen II is scheduled to release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S in Autumn 2026.

Star Wars Zero Company

Did you think there would be just one Star Wars game at this Summer Game Fest? Think again. It’s time to check out Star Wars Zero Company, an upcoming turn-based tactical title where you’ll work alongside different factions across the galaxy. Even Anakin Skywalker is set for a cameo.

Star Wars Zero Company launches on August 27, 2026, on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

The Blood of Dawnwalker

Switching from science fiction to gothic vibes, we then looked at The Blood of Dawnwalker. Set in 14th-century Europe, you’ll step into the role of a vampire who can walk in sunlight in this open-world action RPG.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is set to launch on September 3, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Among Us Story On Guard

The creators behind Among Us bring you Among Us Story On Guard. It’s a standalone experience set within the Among Us universe, shaped around a story-driven premise.

You’ll step into the role of a ship’s security guard, tasked with keeping everyone safe—until a killing takes place. (In an Among Us title, who would have guessed it would go that way?) Now you must prove your own innocence and expose the Imposter. After this first look, we also got a preview of the animated series tied to Among Us.

Among Us Story On Guard will be available on PC, while the animated series is currently streaming on Paramount+.

007 First Light New Mission

007 First Light has only been out for less than a month, yet we’ve already heard about a brand-new mission that brings Bawma back. You’ll be able to play it on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2 (once the game launches on that system).

Final Fantasy XIV Online

After that, the show delivered another update: Final Fantasy XIV Online will enter early access starting August 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2.

Turok: Origins

Staying with the focus on Nintendo Switch 2, we learned that Turok: Origins is scheduled to launch in Autumn 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.

Armatus

Armatus, a third-person roguelite shooter, is planned for release in Winter 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC.

Aion 2

Aion 2 showcased some impressive fantasy flair, with an emphasis on its combat—featuring formidable foes and bold, forward-moving attacks. Aion 2 is set to debut in September 2026 on PC.

Wuthering Waves and Cyberpunk Edgerunners Crossover

Wuthering Waves will team up with Cyberpunk Edgerunners when this crossover goes live on June 8, 2026.

Monster Hunter Wilds Ascendance DLC

It’s time to return to Monster Hunter Wilds with the upcoming Ascendance DLC. Take to the skies, then fight a completely new lineup of monsters! Some of the creatures may even reshape the environment…

Swords of Legends

Next up was another fantasy action-adventure RPG, starting with a captivating showcase of its combat. Swords of Legends will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Hotwheels Infinite Rush

Hotwheels arrived next, bringing a closer look at the high-octane racing it promises. We saw a track winding through a city, plus another course along a beach—complete with a skull ramp that, I swear, was around when I was younger.

Hotwheels Infinite Rush is scheduled to release on September 24, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.

Sonic Racing Crossworlds updates and new Sonic Indie game

Sega returned with more on Sonic’s 35th anniversary celebrations, beginning with a Sonic Racing CrossWorlds partnership with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem in July 2026. After that, an Avatar Legends collaboration is planned for October 2026. We also got a sneak peek at what’s in store for the game’s second year—namely a new world, a Godzilla collaboration, and an Evangelion collaboration. (I didn’t think I’d ever see my Evangelion reference again.)

There’s also a new Indie Sonic game on the way called Sonic Pico Park!

Attack on Titan 3

If you’re into Attack on Titan, this one is for you without a doubt. You’ll be taken through the full manga story and given the chance to take down Titans yourself! (Honestly, given the build-up Geoff provided, I was hoping for a fresh One Piece game.)

Attack on Titan 3 is set to launch on July 1, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.

Clutch

If you’ve been enjoying the newly released Forza Horizon 6, then Clutch could be exactly what you’re looking for. Moving from the racetrack to the world of street racing, this game aims to deliver a driving experience paired with an engaging storyline.

Clutch will be released in Spring 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Chronicles Medieval

Sea of Remnants

This Summer Games Fest has already surfaced a surprisingly large number of ocean-themed games, and here’s another: Sea of Remnants. (And yes, the music is almost uncomfortably catchy.)

The Wolf Among Us 2 and The Wolf Among Us Remastered

Now, here’s a wonderful surprise! Telltale Games has unveiled The Wolf Among Us 2. Drawing from Bill Willingham’s Fable comic, it brings you back into Bigby Wolf’s shoes as a string of murders grips the city. It’s time to dig into a few fairy-tale puzzles, with a touch more whisky than whimsy. The Wolf Among Us 2 is set to arrive in 2027 for PC.

In addition, The Wolf Among Us Remastered will launch in Holiday 2026 for PC.

Stellar Blade Blood Rain

Stellar Blade Blood Rain follows as the sequel to Shift Up’s 2024 release, and from the trailer, it looks ready to deliver on the “Blood” part of its title. The clip shares details about the gameplay, with an emphasis on combat, and it also offers a preview of the world you’ll be moving through. Since the game is still under development, we’ll have to wait a bit longer for more information.

Street Fighter 6 Year Four

After that, we got a look at what’s coming in Year Four of Street Fighter 6. The trailer introduced new rivals, including Yasmine, Bosch, and Arjun. And of course, Tifa from Final Fantasy VII will be joining the roster, too!

Final Fantasy VII Revelation

The Summer Games Fest wrapped up with a return to Cloud’s story, including a first look at Final Fantasy VII Revelation. This installment will finish the three-part remake of the original FFVII, a project that began six years ago in 2020 with the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake. We’re now getting close to the story’s turning point, as Cloud prepares to face Sephiroth one final time.

The trailer also offered an impressive look at a new area still left to explore, along with plenty of combat footage (not that I’m complaining). There was even a special spotlight featuring Vincent Valentine and Cid Highwind.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation is set for release in Spring 2027, and it will be available across all platforms at the same time: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.

We hope you enjoyed this year’s Summer Game Fest! Thanks for bearing with me during tonight’s recap, since the SGF stream was especially demanding on my end.
