Summer is here, and with it, another Summer Game Fest<\/a>. As he does, Geoff Keighley came to the annual showcase with big reveals for future games. And as we\u2019ve done before<\/a>, we\u2019ve assembled a list of our personal favorites and ones that have us intrigued for what they might have to offer. Read ours, then let us know your faves in the comments below.<\/p>\n

Resident Evil: Veronica <\/p>\n

Kicking off Summer Game Fest was none other than\u00a0Resident Evil: Veronica. A remake of the 2000 Dreamcast game, this new version will take players through a reimagined version of the original that plays similar to its more recent entries. What new changes await Claire Redfield during her solo journey through Paris and eventually Rockfort Island? We\u2019ll find out when this remake hits PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S in 2027.<\/p>\n

Alien: Isolation 2 <\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t that long that Creative Assembly offered up a first look at Alien: Isolation 2<\/a>. But the studio had something more substantial here, revealing a first look at an isolated colony on an equally isolated planet that\u2019s about to have itself a pretty bad Xenomorph problem. No solid date on this yet, but when it does arrive, it\u2019ll be on consoles and PC.<\/p>\n

Gen Atlas <\/p>\n

From game director Fumito Ueda, best known for\u00a0Ico\u00a0and\u00a0The Guardian,\u00a0comes\u00a0Gen Atlas. Formerly known as\u00a0Project Robot,\u00a0the third-person title puts players in the shoes of an unnamed robot in a post-apocalyptic setting. What do they pilot? A pretty damn big mech, which gradually reveals itself throughout the trailer. It\u2019s not in the best of shape, so players will have to take care of it while traversing through the world, fighting aliens, and a mech of equally big stature. The scale of it all looks pretty incredible, and we can\u2019t wait for it to hit whatever systems it does in the years to come.<\/p>\n

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin <\/p>\n

Remember when we were supposed to get a game based on\u00a0the\u00a0Last Ronin\u00a0comic<\/a>? That\u2019s now changed hands from Black Forest Games to\u00a0Bayonettta\u00a0developer PlatinumGames<\/a> as the first big title from Paramount Games. It\u2019s coming to PC and consoles, and hopefully it actually sees the day, unlike the movie<\/a> we were supposed to get.<\/p>\n

Gundam: Rogue Orbit <\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a while since the last major\u00a0Gundam\u00a0game, but we\u2019ve got a new one on the way. Bandai Namco\u2019s latest title is Gundam: Rogue Orbit,\u00a0a single-player action-RPG set in its own universe. As the pilot of the Helix Gundam, players will team up with a crew and take on aliens using the franchise\u2019s trademark mechs<\/a> and weapons to get the job done. Look for it in 2027 on PC and consoles.<\/p>\n

Guild Wars 3 <\/p>\n

For MMO fans,\u00a0Guild Wars and its sequel are regarded pretty well. Now it\u2019s time for the franchise to jump to its third installment, but with some changes. Instead of being a PC-only affair, it\u2019s making its way to consoles via the PlayStation 5. If you\u2019ve been wanting to see what the fuss is about, there\u2019s a beta coming in fall 2027 for you to sink your teeth into. Until then, there\u2019s always the first two entries.<\/p>\n

Star Wars <\/p>\n

The\u00a0Star Wars\u00a0franchise came to Summer Game Fest with not one, but two games. First up was Galactic Racer<\/a>,\u00a0a racing title from Fuse Games set in the Outer Rim that lets 12 players race against each other in podracers, landspeeders, and the skimspeeder, a brand new vehicle class made for the game. In the story mode, players take on the role of a racer named Shade, who joins the Outer Rim\u2019s Galactic League and crosses paths with other racers, including fan-favorite Sebulba.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s\u00a0Zero Company<\/a>, a strategy game that\u2019s basically Star Wars\u2019 answer to XCOM. Set during the Clone Wars, players lead a ragtag squad across the galaxy to deal with an emerging threat. As Hawks, players will guide their team through turn-based combat and make sure everyone plays nice. No one can leave Zero Company, but if someone dies, they can be gone for good. No pressure to do your best to resolve conflicts and keep team members in check.<\/p>\n

Star Wars: Zero Company\u00a0comes out first for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on August 27, followed by\u00a0Galactic Racer for those systems on October 6.<\/p>\n

1666 Amsterdam <\/p>\n

Known mainly as the big brain behind the Assassin\u2019s Creed franchise, game designer Patrice D\u00e9silets left Ubisoft in 2010 to found Panache Digital Games. The studio\u2019s sophomore title,\u00a01666 Amsterdam<\/a>, is an action-adventure game staring Noa, a Collector tasked with killing beings known as the Originals disguised as Amsterdam\u2019s citizens. Noa\u2019s got an arsenal of supernatrual weapons and abilities to help her out, and you can test for yourself with a 30-minute demo on Steam before 1666 Amsterdam comes to Early Access later in 2026.<\/p>\n

Saw: Genesis <\/p>\n

Keighley loves his puppets, but Ms. Piggy didn\u2019t show up this Summer Game Fest. Instead, the Billy puppet rode onstage to let everyone know another Saw<\/a>\u00a0game is coming. It\u2019s a prequel, of all things, set in the aftermath of WWI and lets players inhabit the role of the Judge\u2014Jigsaw\u2019s predecessor, basically\u2014or three Accused who have to escape the Judge\u2019s traps, either together or alone. This is the actual premise of this multiplayer\u00a0Saw game\u2026and if it sounds too dumb to be true, you can sign up for its closed alpha on Steam and see for yourself.<\/p>\n

Blood of Dawnwalker <\/p>\n

Rebel Wolves\u2019 dark fantasy-RPG\u00a0The Blood of Dawnwalker<\/a>\u00a0is months away, and it showed up with a new trailer. While we\u2019ve known protagonist Coen was due for a showdown with Brencis, the vampire who turned him, the trailer\u2019s most intriguing part was seeing that beef run from the 14th century to the present day<\/a>. Director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz called the trailer\u2019s gameplay section an \u201corigin story\u201d for Coen, so the studio\u2019s clearly thinking long-term. Blood of Dawnwalker hits PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on September 3 as the first of\u00a0many\u00a0games<\/a> dropping.<\/p>\n

The Wolf Among Us 2 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a long time coming\u2014many would say too long<\/a>\u2014but\u00a0The Wolf Among Us 2\u00a0is finally coming out in 2027 for PC and consoles (including the Switch 1 and 2!). Before players get wrapped up in a new episodic case, Telltale\u2019s got a remaster of the original game hitting this holiday for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.<\/p>\n

Street Fighter 6 <\/p>\n

Like previous Summer Game Fests before it, Capcom revealed the next set of fighters to join\u00a0Street Fighter 6. For its fourth year, the fighter is building out its cast with newcomers Yasmine and Arjun, plus Bosch, the player character\u2019s rival and friend in the World Tour mode. But the biggest get is none other than Final Fantasy VII Remake\u2019s Tifa, who Capcom said will be made to mechanically fit the universe while bringing over the Materia system from her own franchise. She\u2019ll join the roster in early 2027, preceded by Yasmine and Arjun this summer and fall, with Bosch wrapping things up next spring.<\/p>\n

Final Fantasy VII Revelation <\/p>\n

Every Summer Game Fest has a \u201cOne More Thing\u201d at Summer Game Fest, and 2026\u2019s was\u00a0Final Fantasy VII Revelation.\u00a0The final installment in the remake trilogy<\/a> is looking to go big with more playable characters, a fashion system, and bigger threats for Cloud and the gang to fight to save their world. And unlike the last two games, everyone will get to play it on whatever system they own. PlayStation 5, Switch 2, PC, Xbox Series X}S\u2014Revelation\u00a0is coming to them all on day one in spring 2027.<\/p>\n
