More than 35 games were featured during the Summer Games Fest showcase this week, including some highly-anticipated game play reveals, long-overdue updates on previously announced games, and a few surprises. We saw new trailers for The Callisto Protocol, Marvel Midnight Suns, Nightingale, Gotham Knights, and Darktide. There were also big reveals for the likes of Aliens: Dark Descent, Fort Solis, and Goat Simulator 3.
We also finally got some new footage for Witchfire, The Last of Us Remake is no longer a very obvious secret, and we found out that Routine still exists. All in all, it was a good show filled with tons of highly-anticipated games - but I can’t help thinking about all the games we didn’t see. There’s still a lot of Summer Game Fest ahead of us, including two Xbox/Bethesda shows, but we may have to wait until The Game Awards (or beyond) before we find out more about these upcoming games.
