Summer Game Fest has wrapped up for another year, and Geoff Keighley’s annual summer showcase once again delivered a packed two-hour presentation filled with new game reveals, trailers, release dates, and major updates.

The show opened with one of the biggest surprises of the night — Capcom’s long-awaited reveal of Resident Evil: Code Veronica — and closed with Square Enix officially announcing Final Fantasy VII Revelation, the final chapter of the remake trilogy.

Other highlights included Tifa joining Street Fighter 6, the reveal of Stellar Blade: Blood Rain, the long-awaited announcement of Guild Wars 3, and a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin game from PlatinumGames.

And no, there was no surprise GTA 6 trailer. Of course there wasn’t. Half-Life 3 was not there either.

Here is everything announced during Summer Game Fest 2026.

Resident Evil: Code Veronica

Capcom opened Summer Game Fest 2026 with the announcement of a remake of the cult horror classic Resident Evil: Code Veronica.

The game takes place several months after the destruction of Raccoon City. Claire Redfield continues her search for her brother Chris and traces his path to Umbrella’s European branch, but the mission quickly goes wrong. Claire is captured and sent to a prison facility on Rockfort Island, where another deadly virus outbreak soon begins.

Resident Evil: Code Veronica is scheduled to release in 2027 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.

Mighty Cuphead Adventure and a New Cuphead Sequel

Studio MDHR announced two new projects set in the Cuphead universe.

The first reveal was Mighty Cuphead Adventure, an 8-bit retro platformer with arcade shooter elements and pixel-art visuals.

The second announcement confirmed that a full Cuphead sequel is officially in development. The game will retain the series’ signature hand-drawn animation style and follow Cuphead and his friends on a new adventure. However, because the project is still early in production, the studio did not show gameplay or full visual materials.

Both games are in development for PC and consoles. Release dates have not been announced.

Alien: Isolation 2

SEGA, 20th Century Games, and Creative Assembly revealed the first cinematic trailer for Alien: Isolation 2.

The sequel takes place 12 years after the events of the original game on Kurosaki Station, a remote colonial planet. Players will explore both the station’s claustrophobic corridors and storm-ravaged open landscapes while trying to survive against the relentless perfect predator — the Xenomorph.

Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. A release date has not been announced.

This marks the first new project in over a decade from the creator of Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian.

genATLAS is a single-player sci-fi adventure set in a semi-open world built on Unreal Engine 5. The trailer showed a mysterious desert landscape filled with massive megastructures and giant robots. Players control a robot capable of taking over other mechanical bodies, while gameplay combines exploration with third-person shooting mechanics.

The game is in development for PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. No release date has been announced.

Blood Message

NetEase Games and 24 Entertainment, the studio behind Naraka: Bladepoint, showed a new trailer for Blood Message.

The game is a linear cinematic third-person action-adventure featuring brutal melee combat, stealth, and survival elements.

Its story is based on real historical events from 848 AD, when an uprising against Tibetan rule broke out in Dunhuang during the decline of the Tang dynasty. Players take on the role of an unnamed messenger who travels three thousand li east with his young son to deliver a crucial message to the capital city of Chang’an.

More details are expected through media previews. Blood Message is in development for PC and consoles, with no release date announced yet.

Stranger Than Heaven

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio presented a cinematic trailer for Stranger Than Heaven, a new crime drama spanning half a century.

The game tells the story of the rise of the famous Tojo Clan across five historical eras and five detailed Japanese cities, from Kokura in 1915 to Shinjuku in 1965.

The protagonist is Makoto Daito, a Japanese-American who rises from a stowaway refugee to a legend of the criminal underworld.

Gameplay will feature an unusual combat system where the left and right sides of the character’s body are controlled separately. This allows players to manually combine blocks, jabs, grabs, and melee weapon attacks.

Another major gameplay system focuses on music production. Makoto can discover street talent and record tracks using samples taken from environmental sounds.

One of the biggest surprises was the appearance of rapper Tupac Shakur. His likeness was officially licensed with support from his family and Snoop Dogg, who also plays one of the game’s main roles.

Stranger Than Heaven launches on January 15, 2027, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch.

HAEX

Swedish studio Dead Astronauts, founded by former Epic Games and Massive Entertainment developers, revealed the first trailer for HAEX.

The game is an atmospheric first-person co-op survival simulator playable solo or with up to four players. Its story follows a scientific expedition sent into subarctic forests to investigate the appearance of a massive and sinister monolith.

Players will need to manage body temperature, hunger, and thirst while navigating a thick paranormal fog and fighting off alien creatures and machines. The game’s main mechanic revolves around anomalous seeds that can reshape the structure of the open world.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin

Paramount Games Studio revealed the announcement teaser for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin.

Based on the comic series of the same name, The Last Ronin tells the dark story of the last surviving Ninja Turtle, who rises against an authoritarian regime to avenge his fallen family.

The developers promise a brutal third-person adventure with a gameplay scale comparable to modern God of War titles.

Built on Unreal Engine 5, Crossfire is a story-driven single-player game centered on the forced alliance between two rival operatives, Layla and Cross, who must survive amid a global conflict.

The game’s key feature is the Adaptive Cover system. Characters automatically adjust their stance, body position, and movement based on uneven terrain and enemy sightlines. Gameplay focuses on realistic stealth, tactical planning, and high lethality, with limited resources, armor, and health. A single bullet can be fatal.

Crossfire is in development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. A release date has not been announced.

An Eggstremely Hard Game

BBear Studio and Devotion Interactive revealed the debut trailer for An Eggstremely Hard Game, a co-op arcade title for two to four players.

1666: Amsterdam

Panache Digital Games, led by Assassin’s Creed creator Patrice Désilets, revealed 1666: Amsterdam.

The project, which spent around 16 years in and out of development, is described as a dark historical epic with supernatural elements.

The story takes players to Amsterdam in 1666 and follows a conflict against ancient beings known as the Originals. These entities have hidden behind human identities for centuries while abusing their immense power.

The protagonist is Noah Brooklyn, a young woman born with the gift of the Gatherer and raised by a secret order with one mission: reclaim power and restore balance.

The main gameplay feature is the ability to switch between Noah, who uses dark magic, and her familiar, a talking cat named Aaron. Gameplay includes city exploration, acrobatics, and tactical magic use.

A free 30-minute story prologue became available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store during the announcement. The full early access launch of 1666: Amsterdam is planned for late 2026 on PC.

Mafia: The Old Country — Man of Honor

2K Games and Hangar 13 revealed the announcement trailer for Man of Honor, a story expansion for Mafia: The Old Country.

The DLC takes place in Sicily during the winter of 1905 and fits into the one-year time jump in the main story, shortly after protagonist Enzo Favara becomes a full “soldier” in the Torrisi family.

Man of Honor adds two new story chapters in which Enzo meets a young, bold, and ambitious Ennio Salieri, the future don from the first Mafia game. At this point in the story, Salieri is preparing to move to America.

Salieri’s arrival creates tension between Enzo and his close friend Cesare Massaro. The developers rebuilt the character’s younger appearance based on actor Glenn Taranto, while Andrew Russell provides the voice and motion capture for the younger Salieri.

The expansion also adds new locations, weapons, vehicles, and a major update to Free Ride mode. Players will be able to take assassination and robbery contracts from Salieri at the Galante depot and explore hidden areas in the Valle Dorata valley.

Man of Honor launches on August 14, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

SAW: Genesis

Bloober Team, together with its subsidiaries Broken Mirror Games and Anshar Studios, announced SAW: Genesis, an asymmetric multiplayer horror game based on the Saw franchise.

The story takes place in a grim post-World War I setting. One player takes on the role of the Judge, an early architect of John Kramer’s Jigsaw philosophy who wants to “heal” humanity through pain.

The Judge controls traps from the shadows, uses hidden corridors and hallucinogenic gas, and can summon an Accomplice to capture victims. However, he is physically vulnerable and cannot win direct fights.

The other three players take on the role of the Accused. They must cooperate, collect keys, and find an escape route before time runs out.

A unique feature is the “rehabilitation trap” system. When caught in a trap, players must choose between sacrificing a body part, which permanently slows them down or makes puzzles harder, or waiting for teammates to rescue them.

SAW: Genesis will first launch in early access on PC via Steam. No exact release date has been announced.

Lords of the Fallen II

CI Games revealed a new cinematic trailer for Lords of the Fallen II.

The trailer showed a new location called Isiguen, inspired by Asian mythology, and confirmed that a katana-wielding class will be added following fan requests.

The Blood of Dawnwalker

Polish studio Rebel Wolves, founded by former CD Projekt RED developers who worked on The Witcher 3, and publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment showed a new trailer for The Blood of Dawnwalker.

The biggest surprise was a look at the long-term plans for the Dawnwalker Saga. Future entries in the franchise will jump across centuries, continents, and cultures. The trailer even showed protagonist Coen in a 21st-century setting.

However, each game in the series will be a standalone and complete story, with no time travel involved.

The Blood of Dawnwalker launches on September 3, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Players take on the role of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company, a diverse squad of mercenaries, smugglers, and former aristocrats.

During the campaign, the squad will track the mysterious Silius Coil in the Karolina system and confront a hidden threat capable of consuming the galaxy.

Gameplay combines XCOM-style turn-based tactics with cover systems, squad coordination, and a unique progression system that lets players sabotage enemy perks. The trailer also featured a surprise appearance by General Anakin Skywalker.

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

Among Us Story: On Guard

The protagonist must conduct a full detective investigation, identify the Impostor hiding among the crew, and prove their own innocence.

Gameplay combines everyday maintenance tasks, clue investigation, interrogations of other colored crewmates, and first-person movement through ventilation shafts.

Innersloth also announced that all 10 episodes of the Among Us animated series are now available on Paramount+.

Among Us Story: On Guard is planned for PC. A release date has not been announced, but a free demo will be available on June 15, 2026.

The final major update of the first year will be a story mission titled Bowma Returns.

Bowma is voiced and portrayed by rock musician Lenny Kravitz.

Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance

Capcom announced Ascendance, the first major expansion for Monster Hunter Wilds.

According to the developers, the expansion will be comparable in scale to Iceborne for Monster Hunter World and will introduce Master Rank.

Hunters will explore a new vertical biome set high in the sky among floating islands and ancient flying ruins. Travel between them will require flying mounts called Seikrets.

The expansion will add new story quests, dangerous monsters, and expanded move sets for every weapon type.

Chronicles: Medieval

Danish studio Raw Power Games, made up of veterans of The Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2, revealed the debut gameplay trailer for Chronicles: Medieval.

The game is a large-scale medieval sandbox set in a living version of Europe during the 14th and 15th centuries. Factions such as England, France, and the Holy Roman Empire will conduct diplomacy, trade, and wars independently of the player.

The project combines strategy and third-person action. Before battles, players configure formations and tactical behavior for their troops. During combat, they can personally fight on the battlefield.

Large-scale clashes can feature up to 2,000 units on screen. One key mechanic is the dynamic morale system, where soldiers may flee if their fighting spirit breaks. Players can inspire troops by leading from the front.

Chronicles: Medieval will enter Steam Early Access in late 2026 and remain there for around one year. Full mod support is planned from launch.

Sea of Remnants

NetEase Games and Joker Studio revealed a music-driven gameplay trailer for Sea of Remnants, a free-to-play adventure RPG focused on factions and pirate crews.

Stellar Blade: Blood Rain

Shift Up revealed a cinematic trailer with the first gameplay footage from Stellar Blade: Blood Rain, a new entry in the series.

The sequel shifts the setting away from post-apocalyptic wastelands and instead introduces a high-tech neon cyberpunk metropolis.

The new protagonist is Eva. Instead of using a sword, she relies on fast and brutal hand-to-hand combat, lightning-fast punches, and a hidden wrist blade.

The story continues the universe after the remnants of humanity left Earth and fled to the space Colony.

Because Shift Up will publish the game independently, it is expected to launch simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The gameplay shown in the trailer was already captured on PC.

No release date has been announced.

Street Fighter 6

Capcom officially revealed the Year 4 roster for Street Fighter 6.

The biggest announcement was Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII Remake. Her design is based entirely on Square Enix’s modern remake trilogy, and her unique combat mechanic will revolve around Materia orbs.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation

The publisher showed two videos: an announcement trailer and an extended gameplay demonstration presented on stage by director Naoki Hamaguchi and Matt Mercer, the voice actor of Vincent Valentine.

The story follows Cloud Strife’s party as they stand on the brink of catastrophe. Sephiroth is close to gaining godlike power, while Meteor approaches the planet and threatens to destroy all life.

The main feature of the finale will be full exploration of a massive open world aboard the Highwind airship, including seamless deployment to any point on land.

The developers showed new regions, including the Mideel archipelago and Wutai, as well as two new playable main party members: Vincent Valentine and Cid Highwind.

The battle system will be expanded with the FITS feature, allowing characters to change outfits and gain classic Final Fantasy jobs such as Black Mage and Warrior.

Unlike the previous entries, Final Fantasy VII Revelation will launch simultaneously on all target platforms. The game arrives in spring 2027 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.

Players with save data from earlier entries will receive bonus Phoenix, Chocobo, and Moogle summon Materia at launch.

Fortnite — Chapter 7 Season 3: Runners Gameplay Trailer

Epic Games revealed a new gameplay trailer for Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3, titled Runners.

The trailer encouraged players to gear up and get out, offering a first look at the new season’s theme and gameplay direction.

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3: Runners launches on June 6, 2026.

With E3 now permanently retired, Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest has fully taken over as the centerpiece of the summer gaming calendar. As expected, the 2026 edition is preparing another massive showcase packed with world premieres, major announcements, and updates on some of the industry’s most anticipated games.

The annual event continues growing into one of the biggest moments of the year for gamers, publishers, and developers alike.

Summer Game Fest 2026 Date and Start Time

The main Summer Game Fest 2026 showcase will air live on:

Friday, June 5, 2026

• 2 PM PT
• 5 PM ET
• 10 PM BST
• 11 PM CEST

The show will once again be hosted by Geoff Keighley alongside Lucy James.

Where to Watch Summer Game Fest 2026

The event will be streamed live across multiple platforms, including:

• The official The Game Awards YouTube channel​
• The official Summer Game Fest Twitch channel​

Additional co-streams and community watch parties are also expected across major creator platforms.

Expected Runtime

Although the official duration has not yet been confirmed, previous Summer Game Fest showcases suggest the 2026 event will likely run for around two hours.

The gaming reveals will not stop there, however, as Day of the Devs: SGF Edition is scheduled to begin immediately after the main showcase, focusing heavily on indie titles and smaller creative projects.

What Games Could Appear?

Geoff Keighley has already teased a lineup featuring:

• World premieres
• New trailers
• Release date announcements
• Updates from major publishers

However, no official game list has been revealed so far.

Because Summer Game Fest sits directly between the recent PlayStation State of Play and the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase, large first-party reveals from Sony and Microsoft may be less prominent during the event itself.

That said, several major third-party projects are already heavily rumored to appear.

Resident Evil Rumors Continue

Following the reveal of Resident Evil Requiem during last year’s Summer Game Fest, many fans expect Capcom to return with either:

• A story expansion revealor
• The long-rumored Resident Evil Code Veronica remake

If those projects skip PlayStation’s showcase, Summer Game Fest could become the most likely stage for their announcement.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 Could Appear

Another major possibility is the first reveal of Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3.

The timing lines up particularly well:

• Final Fantasy VII Rebirth previously debuted gameplay during Summer Game Fest 2023
• The Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S ports launch shortly before this year’s showcase

Square Enix could use that momentum to officially tease the trilogy’s final chapter.

Other Games Expected to Appear

Several upcoming 2026 titles may also receive release dates or new gameplay reveals during the event, including:

• Control Resonant
• Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis
• Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Additional surprise announcements are almost guaranteed, as Summer Game Fest traditionally mixes major AAA reveals with unexpected indie projects and completely new IPs.

The Biggest Gaming Event of the Summer

Summer Game Fest has now firmly established itself as gaming’s biggest summer showcase following E3’s exit from the industry.

With publishers increasingly relying on digital presentations instead of traditional expos, the 2026 event is expected to once again become a central hub for major reveals, release announcements, and the future of gaming heading into the second half of the year.
