The latest Summer Game Fest 2026 announcements live from the show in Los Angeles

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...

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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...

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.

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

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

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

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

No release date for either of them yet...

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.

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

It's going to come out in 2027.

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

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...

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.

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.

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.

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

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...

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

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

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

Okay, maybe a little bit.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
