The Summer Game Fest 2026 is here, and it's packed with exciting reveals and trailers for upcoming games. From sci-fi and fantasy to horror, Geoff Keighley's annual showcase has something for every gaming enthusiast. Here's a breakdown of some of the most intriguing titles and what they promise to deliver.
Resident Evil: Veronica
A remake of the 2000 Dreamcast game, Resident Evil: Veronica promises a reimagined version of the original, with Claire Redfield embarking on a solo journey through Paris and Rockfort Island. With a focus on the more recent entries of the series, this remake aims to offer a fresh take on the classic survival horror experience, arriving on PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S in 2027.
Alien: Isolation 2
Creative Assembly's Alien: Isolation 2 takes players to an isolated colony on an equally isolated planet, where a Xenomorph problem is about to get pretty bad. While a solid release date is yet to be announced, the game is set to be available on consoles and PC, offering a thrilling survival horror experience in the iconic Alien universe.
Gen Atlas
Game director Fumito Ueda, known for Ico and The Guardian, presents Gen Atlas, a third-person title with a post-apocalyptic setting. Players take control of an unnamed robot, piloting a large mech to fight aliens and other formidable foes. The scale of the game's world and the mech itself is impressive, and we're eager to see it released on its intended platforms in the future.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin
After a change of hands from Black Forest Games to PlatinumGames, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin is set to be a big title from Paramount Games. Coming to PC and consoles, the game aims to deliver on the promise of the Last Ronin comic, though it remains to be seen if it will actually see the light of day, unlike the ill-fated movie adaptation.
Gundam: Rogue Orbit
Bandai Namco's Gundam: Rogue Orbit is a single-player action-RPG set in its own universe. Players take on the role of the Helix Gundam pilot, working with a crew to battle aliens using the franchise's iconic mechs and weapons. With a release date of 2027 on PC and consoles, this game promises to be a thrilling addition to the Gundam series.
Guild Wars 3
Guild Wars fans will be pleased to know that the franchise is jumping to its third installment, Guild Wars 3.

A beta is set to arrive in fall 2027, allowing players to try it out before its full release.
Star Wars Games
The Star Wars franchise had a double reveal at Summer Game Fest. Galactic Racer, a racing title from Fuse Games, lets 12 players race against each other in podracers, landspeeders, and the new skimspeeder vehicle class. Zero Company, a strategy game set during the Clone Wars, offers turn-based combat and a unique premise where no one can leave the game once they enter. Both games are set to release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with Galactic Racer arriving on October 6, 2026, and Zero Company on August 27, 2026.
1666 Amsterdam
Panache Digital Games' 1666 Amsterdam is an action-adventure game starring Noa, a Collector tasked with killing beings known as the Originals disguised as Amsterdam's citizens. With supernatural weapons and abilities at her disposal, Noa can test her skills in a 30-minute demo on Steam before the game enters Early Access later in 2026.
Saw: Genesis
The Saw franchise is getting a prequel multiplayer game, Saw: Genesis. Players can take on the role of the Judge, Jigsaw's predecessor, or three Accused who must escape the Judge's traps. The game is currently in a closed alpha on Steam, offering a glimpse into the thrilling and potentially dumb premise.
Blood of Dawnwalker
Rebel Wolves' The Blood of Dawnwalker is a dark fantasy-RPG that promises a showdown between protagonist Coen and the vampire who turned him. The trailer reveals a time-spanning narrative, with the conflict stretching from the 14th century to the present day.

The Wolf Among Us 2
After a long wait, Telltale's The Wolf Among Us 2 is finally set to release in 2027 for PC and consoles, including the Switch 1 and 2. Before the new episodic case begins, players can enjoy a remaster of the original game, available this holiday on the same platforms.
Street Fighter 6
Capcom revealed new fighters for Street Fighter 6, including Yasmine, Arjun, and Bosch. The biggest addition is Tifa from Final Fantasy VII Remake, who will be made to fit the game's mechanics while bringing over the Materia system. She'll join the roster in early 2027, preceded by Yasmine and Arjun this summer and fall, with Bosch wrapping things up next spring.
Final Fantasy VII Revelation
The final installment in the remake trilogy, Final Fantasy VII Revelation, is set to go big with more playable characters, a fashion system, and bigger threats. Unlike the last two games, it will be available on day one for a wide range of platforms, including PlayStation 5, Switch 2, PC, and Xbox Series X|S, in spring 2027.
In conclusion, Summer Game Fest 2026 offers a diverse range of games across various genres, showcasing the industry's creativity and innovation. From remakes to new IP, these titles are sure to keep gamers excited and engaged for the foreseeable future.
