What Are Your PS5 Predictions for Summer Game Fest 2024? | Push Square

We're mere days away from Summer Game Fest — an event that now strives to fill the rather large hole that E3 left behind. Geoff Keighley's big summer bash may not have the grandeur of those legendary stage shows, but it's still prominent enough to attract announcements and updates from publishers all over the world.

We've taken this opportunity to gather the usual editorial team suspects and ask for their Summer Game Fest predictions — but there's a bit of a twist to this particular Talking Point.

Prediction: BioShock 4 is re-revealed and will be out in late 2024. That might sound bullish, but 2K confirmed the game in a Tweet in 2019, along with the founding of developer Cloud Chamber. Back then, the publisher said the title would be in development for «the next several years', and
