RIP Highguard
Summer Game Fest won’t be ending on a live service game after the poor reaction to Highguard at The Game Awards.

"Not every game has to be for everyone"
"Some games become global blockbusters, but others find smaller passionate communities that love them deeply," Keighley says. "I hope you find your next favorite game today.

SGF 2026's first announcement: Resident Evil Veronica remake!
Resident Evil Veronica World Premiere Trailer | Summer Game Fest 2025 - YouTube
It's a very shiny first-person game set in Paris. An older woman beckons our camera-person into their brother's apartment. It's quite a mess. There's a creepy aura, but nothing outright sinister, at least at first.
Then... yeah, it gets sinister.
And it's... Resident Evil!
"Oh my god," someone shouts in the crowd.
It's out in 2027.
As that Napster/Facebook guy would've said: "Drop the 'Code.' It's cleaner."
2026-06-05T21:11:24.014Z
There's a new hand-animated Cuphead coming, and also an 8-bit throwback
Mighty Cuphead Adventure World Premiere Trailer | Summer Game Fest 2025 - YouTube
Keighley loves any opportunity to get Muppets into his show, which is one thing we have in common.
This snippet from what will presumably be "Cuphead 2" doesn't show us any gameplay, but it lets us know that Studio MDHR is working on both that new Cuphead, and a spin-off 8-bit style platformer, Mighty Cuphead Adventure. We do get a little gameplay of that.
2026-06-05T21:14:35.949Z
A quick look at the sequel to one of the best PC games of all time
Alien: Isolation 2 World Premiere Trailer | Summer Game Fest 2025 - YouTube

2026-06-05T21:18:10.846Z
Shadow of the Colossus creator Fumito Ueda is on-hand for the showing of his new game
gen ATLAS Reveal Trailer | Summer Game Fest 2026 [English Version] - YouTube
genDesign's Project Robot was teased last year, but we're getting more now. It's very nice looking, with lots of desolate landscapes, giant robots and, yep, climbing.
And third-person shooting? That's unexpected!
We've also got a name: genAtlas.
This SGF is rolling out the heavy hitters early.
2026-06-05T21:21:14.685Z

2026-06-05T21:22:03.451Z
Tupac is in Stranger Than Heaven?
Stranger Than Heaven is out in January 2027.
Uhhh. I guess the Tupac estate is farming out the late rapper's likeness.
Snoop Dogg is on stage to talk about his role in the game, as well as Tupac's. "It just made sense to put him in the game because his likeness and his spirit lives on," Snoop said.
2026-06-05T21:28:11.564Z
HAEX is coming in 2027
HAEX - Official Announcement Trailer | IGN Summer of Gaming 2026 - YouTube
Next up is an extended look at HAEX, from developer Dead Astronauts. It's a first-person shooter with a heavy dose of sci-fi. Big obelisks, lots of cubes, some magical-looking movement abilities. I'm getting Annihilation vibes.
Pronounced "Hex" by the way.
2026-06-05T21:30:58.116Z
Our first montage: Mortal Shell 2 and Sand: Raiders of Sophie playtests

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin | Announcement Teaser - YouTube
Well that's a pretty good pairing, eh?
This is the teased announcement from the newly formed Paramount Game Studios. The TMNT action game from Platinum should have tons of potential, though many of Platinum's key creatives have left over the last few years.
Here's the official tagline: "In a future, battle-ravaged New York City, a lone surviving Turtle embarks on a seemingly hopeless mission seeking justice for the family he lost."
It's got a website, too!

Former Naughty Dog devs are making a military shooter for players who 'love high agency singleplayer, story-driven games'
Crossfire World Premiere Trailer | Summer Game Fest 2025 - YouTube
Dev studio That's No Moon unveils the game it's been working on for several years now. An elite military duo are on a mission of some kind, with the trailer emphasizing the character banter as much as the surprisingly technical-looking shooting and sneaking.
There's a sci-fi horror twist at play here too, though.
"We've completely rethought how cover and traversal work together and created a system that rewards tactical thinking, stealth, and repositioning. It's called adaptive cover. With adaptive cover, our player character Layla dynamically adjusts her stance to react to the complex terrain and the enemy's line of sight," say the developers.
We'll have more to read on CrossFire on PC Gamer soon.

Spooky comes in 2 forms: Sci-fi and fishing
End of Abyss - Release Date Trailer | PS5 Games - YouTube
The next pair of trailers offer two flavors of horror with End of Abyss, out October 1, and Last Harbor, which looked like a fishing game at first, but is actually a lot more sinister.
"You’re stranded on a boat during a zombie outbreak in the beautiful San Juan islands of Washington State. How will you survive an open-world archipelago, where the living are just as much of a threat as the dead?" asks the description.

VIRTUA FIGHTER CROSSROADS | Official Reveal Trailer - YouTube
The Virtua Fighter revival isn't just a traditional arcade fighting game!? Crossroads looks to be taking a page out of Street Fighter 6's story mode book, which is fitting since that campaign had a lot in common with the Like a Dragon series.
And guess who's making Virtua Fighter? Yep, it's Like a Dragon studio RGG.
It's out next year, in 2027.

The big SGF 2026 finale is a first look at Final Fantasy 7: Revelation, out day 1 on PC spring 2027
FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION - Reveal Trailer - YouTube
The end of the trilogy is officially titled Revelation. Did anyone have their money on that name? (I thought it'd be pretty funny if they came out and announced it was called "Final Fantasy Seven...teen" instead. Alas!)
FF7 remake trilogy producer Hamaguchi took to the stage to talk a bit about Revelation, and say it's launching simultaneously across platforms. That's great news for us on PC, considering the delays on the first two entries in the trilogy.
Here's Hamaguchi:
"The central theme of this title is resolve. Cloud and his companions each confront their own destinies and find the resolve to march toward the final battle. I, too, have carried a promise in my heart throughout this journey. The resolve to see this series through to its very end. We're committed to delivering this experience in its ultimate form. Please stay with us and witness what lies beyond that resolve."
Airship exploration is confirmed. You can go everywhere, and you can parachute off the deck to pop down to the open world seamlessly.
Vincent and Cid are combat buddies
Vincent's gunplay in battle gets shown off, as well as his ability to transform into beast mode and team up with Cid Highwind.
