Everything announced at Summer Game Fest 2026

The fated day arrives: Summer Game Fest is back, back again, with one world premiere after another to give 2026 a double-barrel of new games.

Here's a roundup of everything announced during the stream (with the exception of a few ads and small trailers for games we already knew about.)

For more of what's ahead this weekend, check out our full summer showcase schedule. And don't forget to watch the PC Gaming Show on Sunday!

Which rumors will come true for SGF 2026?

So far a few hints, leaks and rumors have us anticipating some big announcements:

• A Persona 6 announcement may be incoming
• Guild Wars teaser has fans hyped up about a potential Guild Wars 3
• Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 set to appear at Summer Game Fest, according to leaker

RIP Highguard

Summer Game Fest won’t be ending on a live service game after the poor reaction to Highguard at The Game Awards.

"Not every game has to be for everyone"

"Some games become global blockbusters, but others find smaller passionate communities that love them deeply," Keighley says. "I hope you find your next favorite game today.

SGF 2026's first announcement: Resident Evil Veronica remake!

It's a very shiny first-person game set in Paris. An older woman beckons our camera-person into their brother's apartment. It's quite a mess. There's a creepy aura, but nothing outright sinister, at least at first.

Then... yeah, it gets sinister.

And it's... Resident Evil!

"Oh my god," someone shouts in the crowd.

It's out in 2027.

As that Napster/Facebook guy would've said: "Drop the 'Code.' It's cleaner."

There's a new hand-animated Cuphead coming, and also an 8-bit throwback

Keighley loves any opportunity to get Muppets into his show, which is one thing we have in common.

This snippet from what will presumably be "Cuphead 2" doesn't show us any gameplay, but it lets us know that Studio MDHR is working on both that new Cuphead, and a spin-off 8-bit style platformer, Mighty Cuphead Adventure. We do get a little gameplay of that.

A quick look at the sequel to one of the best PC games of all time

Alien Isolation 2's creative leads take the stage to talk about the sequel. "This time we're unleashing the alien on an unsuspecting colony world... Kurosaki Station is a new hunting ground for the ultimate apex predator."

Shadow of the Colossus creator Fumito Ueda is on-hand for the showing of his new game

genDesign's Project Robot was teased last year, but we're getting more now. It's very nice looking, with lots of desolate landscapes, giant robots and, yep, climbing.

And third-person shooting? That's unexpected!

We've also got a name: genAtlas.

This SGF is rolling out the heavy hitters early.

Blood Message gets a dramatic trailer, but no release date

The Chinese action RPG will be at this year's SGF Play Days demo sessions over the weekend, so we'll have more to say on it soon!

Tupac is in Stranger Than Heaven?

Stranger Than Heaven is out in January 2027.

Uhhh. I guess the Tupac estate is farming out the late rapper's likeness.

Snoop Dogg is on stage to talk about his role in the game, as well as Tupac's. "It just made sense to put him in the game because his likeness and his spirit lives on," Snoop said.

HAEX is coming in 2027

Next up is an extended look at HAEX, from developer Dead Astronauts. It's a first-person shooter with a heavy dose of sci-fi. Big obelisks, lots of cubes, some magical-looking movement abilities. I'm getting Annihilation vibes.

Pronounced "Hex" by the way.

Our first montage: Mortal Shell 2 and Sand: Raiders of Sophie playtests

The Mortal Shell 2 beta is on Steam now, while Sand: Raiders of Sophie is advertising its server slam. Something to play this weekend in between presentations.

PlatinumGames is making a Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronan game

Well that's a pretty good pairing, eh?

This is the teased announcement from the newly formed Paramount Game Studios. The TMNT action game from Platinum should have tons of potential, though many of Platinum's key creatives have left over the last few years.

Here's the official tagline: "In a future, battle-ravaged New York City, a lone surviving Turtle embarks on a seemingly hopeless mission seeking justice for the family he lost."

It's got a website, too!

Fortnite's "Shatter" event kicks off after Summer Game Fest at 7 pm Eastern

Fan-favorite Ben Starr took the stage to talk about a big moment in Fortnite's story, and you can play through it tonight.

Bandai Namco's new mech game is Gundam, but not your usual Gundam

Is this the first Gundam with aliens in it? Because those sure look like aliens.

The tagline: "Suit up for humanity. Pilot your mobile suit and fight for survival in 2027."

Former Naughty Dog devs are making a military shooter for players who 'love high agency singleplayer, story-driven games'

Dev studio That's No Moon unveils the game it's been working on for several years now. An elite military duo are on a mission of some kind, with the trailer emphasizing the character banter as much as the surprisingly technical-looking shooting and sneaking.

There's a sci-fi horror twist at play here too, though.

"We've completely rethought how cover and traversal work together and created a system that rewards tactical thinking, stealth, and repositioning. It's called adaptive cover. With adaptive cover, our player character Layla dynamically adjusts her stance to react to the complex terrain and the enemy's line of sight," say the developers.

We'll have more to read on CrossFire on PC Gamer soon.

Control Resonant shows off a new trailer, still looks fire

Still coming out this September.

"A modern evolution of the MMO:" It really is Guild Wars 3!

Guild Wars 3 confirmed. Beta playable in fall 2027.

"If you yearn for horizons unexplored, for fellowship and purpose, for a cause worth dying for, to you, we can promise: Magic."

Pretty good voiceover for an MMO announcement a decade+ in the making.

"The time is right for the next evolution of the MMORPG" says ArenaNet studiohead

"And that game is Guild Wars 3."

The new MMO will be launching on PC and PlayStation 5.

"Guild Wars 3 is an epic world that's both beautiful and fun to explore, where the joy of movement is powered by your character's momentum, and combat will usher in an entirely new type of MMO experience."

Now this is podracing... with a story

Hope you were looking for a campaign in your podracer, because it looks to be a significant portion of the new Star Wars Galactic Racer, which is out on October 6.

Spooky comes in 2 forms: Sci-fi and fishing

The next pair of trailers offer two flavors of horror with End of Abyss, out October 1, and Last Harbor, which looked like a fishing game at first, but is actually a lot more sinister.

"You’re stranded on a boat during a zombie outbreak in the beautiful San Juan islands of Washington State. How will you survive an open-world archipelago, where the living are just as much of a threat as the dead?" asks the description.

Virtua Fighter: Crossroads is "surprising in scale and scope"

The Virtua Fighter revival isn't just a traditional arcade fighting game!? Crossroads looks to be taking a page out of Street Fighter 6's story mode book, which is fitting since that campaign had a lot in common with the Like a Dragon series.

And guess who's making Virtua Fighter? Yep, it's Like a Dragon studio RGG.

It's out next year, in 2027.

Mafia: The Old Country is getting a story expansion on August 14: Man of Honor

"That was indeed a young Don Salieri from the original Mafia," says Keighley. "Man of Honor expands Enzo's journey in The Old Country this August."

Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Désilets reveals new game: 1666 Amsterdam

Well if that isn't Assassin's Creed Hexe, it sure looks hexed.

"1666 has been a monumental and emotional journey," Desilets says.

"Instead of explaining features, I'll simply say this. As of right now, the prologue is free to download on Steam and Epic Games Store. It's a 30 minute story experience. I'll leave you with a glimpse of what's to come when we leaunch on early access later this year."

Bloober Team is making a Saw 3v1 multiplayer horror game

Saw Genesis—finally, we get to find out why the Saw guy does Saw stuff.

Here's the rundown:

"Step into a brutal 3v1 multiplayer experience where one player becomes the Judge, a precursor to Jigsaw, and three others fight to survive as the Accused. Manipulate the trial from the shadows or work together to escape a deadly maze of traps, pressure, and impossible choices.

"Set in the grim aftermath of World War I, SAW: Genesis delivers short, intense matches, oppressive atmosphere, and a twisted vision of redemption through pain and sacrifice. The game is co-developed by Anshar Studios and Broken Mirror Games and published by Bloober Team."

Star Wars Zero Company gets a release date: August 27

There's a good bit of story and gameplay in this trailer. Plus, surprise! Anakin Skywalker is in it.

Read our in-depth Star Wars Zero Company cover story for much more on the game

The Blood of Dawnwalker continues to look good

The vampire RPG from former Witcher devs is already dead center on our radar. Like Zero Company, we also have an in-depth feature you can read here.

It's out in September.

There's a new Among Us, and an Among Us TV show?

Everything is sus.

There's now an Among Us animated series starring some funny people: Yvette Nicole Brown, Patton Oswalt, Elijah Woods, Debra Wilson, Randall Park and more. It's on Paramount Plus.

Also a new game, called Among us Story: On Guard.

A tease of a new "story mission" coming to 007 First Light this year

Cyberpunk Edgerunners characters star in a new Wuthering Waves crossover

Not the most exciting place to see Lucy and Rebecca show back up, I have to say.

Monster Hunter Wilds expands into the sky with Ascendance

We knew an expansion was inevitable, and here it is. Wilds is doing a floating islands thing, adding a whole new sky region, it looks like.

Capcom calls it a "massive" expansion. It's out in 2027.

Chinese action game Swords of Legends shows off a boss fight

This one already has a Steam page. The list of impressive Chinese action RPGs with intricately choreographed martial arts is not short.

Hot Wheels Infinite Rush revealed, out September 24

It's another Hot Wheels racer, and it looks nice!

Attack on Titan 3 is out in July

When Geoff said this next game would cover "the entire story of a famous anime," I was hoping for, I don't know, a great Trigun game or something? But here's another Attack on Titan game.

Man I wish those things had skin.

Clutch, from ex-Forza Horizon devs, leans into story

The new racer looks to be distinguishing itself from Forza Horizon with a story-driven racing campaign.

"A cinematic, open-world, action-driving game from the team at Maverick Games - lead by former Forza Horizon Creative Director, Mike Brown, and other senior leads on the franchise," reads the official line. It's still a ways away, scheduled for a spring 2027 release.

PalWorld 1.0 is coming on July 10, 2026

PalWorld continues to look extremely Pokemon at Summer Game Fest, and it's got not just an update coming, but the update.

A surprise cinematic trailer for a new PalWorld update looked so Pokemon I wasn't sure it wasn't until the not-a-Pokeball appeared on screen. More of a Pal Orb?

The Wolf Among us 2 is actually coming out

We got a new trailer for The Wolf Among Us 2, with sees the return of protagonist Bigby investigating some grisly murders.

The revived Telltale series has a date. Er, year: 2027.

There's also a remaster of the original episodic adventure coming out near the end of this year.

Cyberpunk and body horror combine in the next game from Stellar Blade's developers

The flashy beat 'em up started with quite a subdued narrative sequence before going full-blown action. The giveaway that Shift Up was involved came when our heroine threw off her cowl to display a skin-tight sci-fi body suit.

Stellar Blade Blood Rain is "early in development" from the same team, continuing the story of the first game with a new protagonist, says Keighley.

Tifa joins Street Fighter 6

Final Fantasy 7's brawler joins Arjun and Bosch and Yasmine in Street Fighter 6 year 4.

The big SGF 2026 finale is a first look at Final Fantasy 7: Revelation, out day 1 on PC spring 2027

The end of the trilogy is officially titled Revelation. Did anyone have their money on that name? (I thought it'd be pretty funny if they came out and announced it was called "Final Fantasy Seven...teen" instead. Alas!)

FF7 remake trilogy producer Hamaguchi took to the stage to talk a bit about Revelation, and say it's launching simultaneously across platforms. That's great news for us on PC, considering the delays on the first two entries in the trilogy.

Here's Hamaguchi:

"The central theme of this title is resolve. Cloud and his companions each confront their own destinies and find the resolve to march toward the final battle. I, too, have carried a promise in my heart throughout this journey. The resolve to see this series through to its very end. We're committed to delivering this experience in its ultimate form. Please stay with us and witness what lies beyond that resolve."

Airship exploration is confirmed. You can go everywhere, and you can parachute off the deck to pop down to the open world seamlessly.

Vincent and Cid are combat buddies

Vincent's gunplay in battle gets shown off, as well as his ability to transform into beast mode and team up with Cid Highwind.

Characters now get custom armor with the "FIT" system, adding on to the existing gear systems.

The Weapons are back

Yep, the FF7 megabosses return.

That's a wrap on Summer Game Fest!

The stream's still going, though: Keighley's presentation has switched over to Day of the Devs, which will showcase a whole bunch of cool new indies.

New Blood Interactive has brought a retro survival horror game to the show that combines 2D pixel art and live action cutscenes.

One last SGF announcement: Sonic's CrossWorlds crossovers with Evangelion, Godzilla and more

Here's one segment I had to skip over for time during the livestream: Sega's crossover announcements for Sonic Racing CrossWorlds.

The blue blur's basically going full metaverse here with crossover characters and tracks from:

• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (July)
• Avatar Legends (October)
• Godzilla
• Evangelion
