The biggest announcements and trailers from the 2024 summer gaming showcases
The parade of 2024 summer gaming showcases has begun, and since no mortal gamer can hold this much news in their head at once, we're collecting all the big trailers and announcements here for you to peruse at your leisure.

The Rogue Prince of Persia released in early access and is really cool, we recently previewed Windblown, and at this year's Devolver Direct, former lead Dead Cells designer Sébastien Benard announced Tenjutsu. (It's not a roguelike, but 2D platformer Possessors looks pretty sweet, too.)
