Everything announced at Summer Game Fest 2026 — from Final Fantasy 7 Revelation to Resident Evil Code Veronica remake and new Stellar Blade game

Hello and welcome to our live Summer Game Fest 2026 coverage!

My colleague Rob is on his way over to the live event, but I'll be keeping up with the stream alongside all of you from my hotel in downtown...

We're currently waiting for the show to start, with the action set to kick off one our from now!

Let me know what you want to see!

From a new Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer to the reveal of a new Star Wars Jedi game, I've been seeing lots of speculation about what might appear in the show today.

What do you want to see tonight? Let me know in the comments of this article.

More than 145,000 viewers have tuned in

There's still a decent chunk of time to go before the show begins in earnest, but that doesn't mean that viewers aren't already flooding in to the official stream.

Over on the official Game Awards feed, I'm seeing more than 145,000 other viewers watching right now.

Just half an hour to go folks

Just 30 minutes to go until the Summer Game Fest 2026 stream begins in earnest.

Now is the time that you should be making any last minute food and drink arrangements to make sure that you don't need to get up once the announcements are underway.

At least one Star Wars game is appearing

EA has confirmed that the upcoming Star Wars game Zero Company will be shown today in a new post over on X.

It's a gritty strategy game set alongside the events of the Clone Wars that follows a cast of customizable operatives.

It sounds pretty much like a Star Wars take on the legendary Xcom strategy franchise, which is certainly an idea that appeals to me.

Look out for "a single player, narrative game" at the end of the show

A new X post from present and organizer Geoff Keighley has confirmed that the show will end on "a single player, narrative game" thanks to "feedback" - presumably some of the backlash to the announcement of failed online shooter Highguard last year.

Could this be a Grand Theft Auto 6 tease? It would certainly fit the bill, but I think that it would be best to temper expectations for now.

Here's a little peek behind the curtain at my current setup.

For some reason my hotel room doesn't actually have a desk area, and I felt a little bad chatting on a video call in the lobby...

Meanwhile here's what my colleague Rob can see! I'm not jealous...

Okay, maybe a little bit.

Just under 15 minutes to go now! Get ready everyone...

The countdown has officially begun on stream. If you haven't tuned in yet, get that tab open.

Great news!

I managed to convince Rob that he should send me a selfie from the event on the promise that it would not appear in our live coverage.

Hopefully he's too busy watching the show to see this...

We're now just a couple minutes away from the big show...

The showcase has officially begun!

The live stream has officially begun and you bet that means that presenter Geoff Keighley is on stage, looking rather stylish in a shiny crimson suit.

Here's a photo from Rob in the audience.

He's starting off by looking back at the biggest games of the year so far and praising some major sellers, including a decent handful of indie titles.

Now it's time for our first announcement!

It's something set in Paris and it's a first person game. Honestly I'm getting some Bioshock vibes from this...

I'm interested to see what it might be.

Technical difficulties? It looks like the stream jumped back a little, but I'm back in.

So far we've seen an older lady showing the protagonist around a rather dirty look apartment. The vibes are definitely a little off with this one...

Hang on... Is this a Resident Evil game?

Yep, that's the long-rumored Resident Evil Code Veronica remake - now called Resident Evil Veronica.

It's going to come out in 2027.

A message from the team behind Cuphead now, with a puppet character revealing that there's a new Cuphead game in development with more of that lovely hand-crafted art style.

Plus a surprise look at a game called Mighty Cuphead Adventure, a pixel-art retro platformer.

No release date for either of them yet...

Co-host Lucy James has just taken to the stage to reveal another game.

It's a game from both Sega and Creative Assembly, so I'm thinking a new Alien Isolation sequel!

Yep, I'm locking in my prediction now as we see plenty of Alien looking scenery and a few flashes of the Xenomorph!

That's official then. It's called Alien Isolation 2 - how exciting!

The devs are now on stage talking about the game, which will be set on a new colony world.

It seems the scope of this next game is a massive step up from the last.

Ico creator Fumito Ueda just got a shoutout and is actually sitting in the audience!

Now it looks like we're going to see his next game...

It seems to be something very sci-fi themed, with the newly shown trailer barraging us with plenty of abstract imagery on some kind of alien planet inhabited by robotic creatures.

There was a little bit of shooting, and some absolutely mega robots.

The title is Gen Atlas. You can whishlist it now.

Now we're looking at Blood Message, an upcoming action title from Chinese gaming giant Netease.

It's set in ancient China and is a narrative-driven experience with a mix of stealth and challenging combat.

The trailer confirmed that the first hands-on previews will begin tomorrow, and I'm already booked to give it a go!

Now a new trailer for Stranger Than Heaven, the upcoming historical Like A Dragon series prequel.

We're being bombarded with the names of some of the celebrities that will feature as characters and... hang on? Tupac will be in the game?

We also have a release date: January 15, 2027.

Now Snoop Dogg, who is also being featured, has come on stage to talk about the game!

He's also talking his efforts with Death Row Games, a studio working on some hip hop themed projects.

Okay, now for something a little different. A game called Heax, which comes from former Division developers.

Plenty of shooting, creepy monsters, co-op play, and some pretty mind-bending environments on show.

There's also some kind of cube, which looks important. Perhaps that's what players will be trying to get their hands on in the game.

A Dead by Daylight tease now, and it looks like it's tied in with the popular Longlegs horror movie.

Now some Mortal Shell 2, with a look at its big medieval inspired fantasy world and some more combat.

And a trailer for Sand: Raiders of Sophie, which seems to have players creating their own weird vehicles and duking it out in a desert.

Now here's a game that everybody should be able to recognize. It's the upcoming Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake!

It looks pretty slick, and I really like the updated graphics.

Now we're on to a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game from action game giants PlatinumGames subtitled The Last Ronin.

Only a brief look today, so presumably it's pretty early in development.

Ben Starr is now on stage! I bumped in to him in the lift of my hotel earlier...

Starr introduced a load of new Fortnite content, which will be added in the latest Chapter 7 Season 3 update tonight.

The game's latest end of season live event will kick off later today!

A sci-fi title from Bandai Namco up now, apparently connected to a massive franchise though I'm not entirely sure what it might be from the look of it so far...

We also saw a little bit of gameplay with some third-person hack and slash combat.

That's Gundam Rogue Orbit, releasing in 2027.

A solo dev project is up now and it's a physics platforming game about geese that has you and other players trying to transport fragile eggs.

I can't lie, I'm not that keen on this one. It looks pretty generic and dull. It drops on July 24, 2026.

We just got a trailer for Crossfire, a third-person action game that looks almost like Uncharted crossed with Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon.

It contained plenty of intense third-person shooting, loads of modern military gear, and some glimpses of action set pieces.

It seems like it will be part of the long-running online Crossfire series, which are online shooters with a massive community in Asia.

Now we're getting a fresh trailer for Control Resonant, with a slightly more extended look at its twisted vision of Manhattan.

It finally arrives on September 24 this year.

A surprise MMO announcement now, with the reveal of Guild Wars 3!

It was just a cinematic trailer, but I liked what I saw.

I've never been much of an MMO guy, but maybe now is the time to go check out some of the older Guild Wars titles. I know the first game was re-recently re-released, presumably in anticipation of this reveal.

The game will come to both PC and PlayStation 5 but there's no word of a release date quite yet.

Some exciting pod racing action on the stream now, with a new trailer for Star Wars: Galactic Racer.

It looks pretty sick, with loads of fast-paced action as you speed around different planets.

The trailer also showed that Sebulba from the film series will be in the game!

That was followed by a brief look at End of Abyss, a kind of creepy looking Little Nightmares-esque title being published by Epic Games.

Then, keeping with the horror theme, was a title called Last Harbour - an unsettling aquatic adventure.

How here's a big announcement for fighting game fans: we're getting a look at the next Virtua Fighter title.

It's called Virtua Fighter Crossroads and is being developed by the team behind the Yakuza games. The trailer looks surprisingly cinematic for a fighting game, which suggests that story might be a big focus.

Virtua Fighter Crossroads will release some time in 2027.

More details will be shown in a dedicated showcase later today.

Now a new trailer for RuneScape: Dragonwilds, which brings the popular MMO franchise to console for the first time.

This game is already out in PC early access over on Steam, and seems to have been received pretty well so far. It's sitting at an overall "very positive" rating on the platform.

A load of Nintendo Switch 2 games being shown, with a sizzle reel of major titles including cute anime co-op adventure Orbitals.

A new trailer for Soulframe, the upcoming MMO from the team behind Warframe.

No major news on it apparently, but I do like the look of everything that's been shown so far.

A new trailer for Grounded 2, which we now know is coming to PlayStation 5!

A trailer then announced that a Mafia: The Old Country expansion will drop on August 14, 2026.

It's called Man of Honor and will tie in with the very first game in the series.

A very cool looking witch game up now, and I'm really liking the look of it!

We're seeing loads of creepy black cats, sinister rituals, and weird magic.

The game is called 1666 Amsterdam, and can be wishlisted right now.

You'll even be able to download and play a 30 minute prologue today!

Another sizzle reel of the game now, showing the fact that you can play as a cat!

Hang on... Billy from the Saw franchise is on stage now. Are we about to see the announcement of a new Saw game?

Yep, that's exactly what it is. Saw Genesis is an upcoming horror game that ties in to the long-running movie franchise.

Only cinematics have been shown so far, so it's hard to tell exactly what kind of game this well be.

Okay, we're seeing some gameplay now. It looks like the game is set some time in the First World War, which is definitely an interesting creative choice.

It was also confirmed that this will be a multiplayer game, in a 3v1 format.

A new trailer for Lords of the Fallen 2, with some big environments and a look at some of its characters.

It was only a short trailer, though.

Here's that Star Wars Zero Company trailer that I mentioned earlier.

It looks like my description that it was a Star Wars take on Xcom was pretty spot on - with the trailer showing off the huge depth of squad customization and giving us an early look at some of the battles players will have to fight through.

The trailer ended with the reveal that Anakin Skywalker will appear in the game!

A dark fantasy title now, centred around vampires. I'm thinking this is going to be Blood of Dawnwalker, which is set in 14th-century medieval Europe.

It was indeed The Blood of Dawnwalker. Interestingly there were glimpses of a modern day narrative as well, which seemingly will be a separate title.

A new standalone Among Us game? This is certainly a surprise!

It's a stylized mystery game by the looks of it, and is titled Among Us Story On Guard.

Now there's some kind of on-stage Among Us skit, and honestly I'll just spare you the details because it's a little cringe.

Speaking of cringe, it's being followed up by a trailer for an animated series based on the game.

It's meant to be a comedy series I suppose, though the jokes don't seem particularly funny...

It's streaming now on Paramount+.

Our first tease for some 007 First Light DLC! That was certainly fast.

It was a very short trailer, but certainly gives those currently playing through the game something to look forward to.

Now a quick Gothic Remake trailer. The game is out right now.

A stylish action game is being shown now, with flashy characters duking it out against monsters and even flying mechanics.

It's a sequel apparently, called Aion 2, though I must admit I'm not exactly familiar with the original game.

The Wuthering Waves X Cyberpunk 2077 collab is being shown now, with a little trailer highlighting returning Edgerunners characters like Rebecca and Adam Smasher.

A release from Capcom now, by the looks of it something in the Monster Hunter series.

New DLC for Wilds perhaps?

It's a big Wilds expansion called Ascendance, seemingly focusing on a new region and introducing new creatures!

It's about time we got our first soulslike game, so here it is!

I'm honestly surprised it took this long for us to get one.

That was one long, soulsike bossfight!

The game is called Swords of Legends and is inspired by Chinese myth.

Now here's something a bit more light-hearted! A new Hot Wheels game, with loads of toy cars zooming around what looks to be an open world map.

I'm getting some surprising Forza Horizon vibes from this one, which is definitely a good thing.

That was Hot Wheels Infinite Rush and it will be out on September 24 this year.

Trailer highlighting loads of exciting crossover content coming to Sonic Crossworlds, and a new indie game called Pico Park starring the blue hedgehog and his friends.

An Attack of Titan game from Koei Tecmo now - apparently depicted the series' entire story from start to finish!

It's called Attack on Titan 3, with more information to come in July it seems.

A look at Clutch now! This game comes from ex Forza Horizon devs, and combines intense sports racing with seedy underworld activity.

We've been seeing lots of the game on social media over the last few weeks, with posts from official accounts highlighting the high level of car customization that will be available to players.

The game will also feature some unique tools for drivers to use, like grapple hooks.

It's out Spring 2027 per this trailer.

A medieval combat title now, which almost looks like a cross between Total War and Mount and Blade - two series that I absolutely love.

The game is called Chronicles Medieval, and will come out in early access in 2026.

The next announcement is a big new trailer for Sea of Remnants, a huge open-world pirate adventure that I flew out to China to play last year.

I'm really looking forward to this one. It's really ambitious, with a big cast of companion characters to recruit and a really stylish puppet-inspired art direction.

Pre-registration is open now, if you want to be among the first to play.

Oh nice, a Hitman announcement now - presumably a new Elusive Target update.

Yep, that's exactly what it is: a new celebrity Elusive Target starring Wiz Khalifa!

No, this isn't a Pokemon announcement... This is something to do with Palworld - maybe a new update?

Yep, the survival game is getting a 1.0 version on July 10!

A very long-awaited announcement now, with a fresh trailer for The Wolf Among Us 2!

It's been so long that I honestly forgot this one was even happening, but it looks like just what fans have been waiting for.

Hopefully this trailer will end on a release date!

No release date, but it will be out in 2027.

Oh, and the original game is being re-released later this year with a new remaster so you can experience it all over again!

Now we're getting a look at something that seems like it might be a Stellar Blade sequel. Color me intrigued...

We're seeing the protagonist walking through a busy city, and then fighting all kinds of disgusting parasite creatures.

The more I see, the more I'm convinced this is a Stellar Blade game.

It is indeed Stellar Blade, and a sequel called Stellar Blade Blood Rain!

It said to star a new protagonist, and follow on from the events of the last game.

A look at upcoming content for Street Fighter 6 with its fourth year, featuring loads of new fighters.

We've got Yasmine, Arjun, Bosch, and even Tifa from Final Fantasy 7 all on the way!

I've been playing loads of Street Fighter 6 recently, so I'm glad to see that it's going to be getting more updates.

Okay, Geoff is teeing up the final announcement... What do we think it's going to be?

It's the long-awaited third entry in the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy!

We're getting a beefy trailer here, showing Cloud and friends facing off against a variety of big bosses.

The title? Final Fantasy 7 Revelation!

The devs have taken the stage to confirm that the game will be launching simultaneously on all platforms, so no PS5 exclusivity this time around.

The central theme of the game is apparently "resolve", with the remake series coming to its long-awaited narrative conclusion.

Now we're getting another trailer, going into the story in greater depth.

The game takes place in the series' most expansive open world, which players can explore in the Highwind airship.

You'll be able to dive from the Highwind using a parachute, almost like dropping from the battle bus in Fortnite.

The hybrid battle system is back, though has apparently been upgraded this time around with the ability to switch between characters seamlessly.

Fan-favorite character Vincent Valentine will be playable too, voiced by Matt Mercer.

Cid Highwind, your airship's pilot, will also join you in battle.

A third Final Fantasy Revelation trailer? This one showing a flashy in-game cutscene.

And finally we know that it will drop in Spring 2027! It's coming to Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC - all on the same day!

And that's a wrap! What did you think of the this year?

I thought it was definitely a step up from last year, though I'm not a huge Final Fantasy fan so I can't say I found the Revelation announcement that exciting. The Code Veronica remake news was awesome to see though, even if it has been rumored for ages!
