The Summer Game Fest takes place before the Christmas campaign launches, so it is usually a good event to announce release dates. The latest State of Play has been an example of this. The Keighley event brings together millions of spectators and offers global exposure, but one highly anticipated game can always be overshadowed by another. It is also possible that three or four titles will coincide in announcing an upcoming release date in a short space of time. Again, the latest State of Play is an example of this.
Be that as it may, and leaving aside the players who, regardless of what is shown, will say that they are disappointed with the event and that they expected more, we have ahead of us a transmission that will surely leave us with more than one surprise. The official guest list isn’t too big and includes Clutch, Blood Message, Guild Wars, and Star Wars Zero Company. The rumors are more generous.
The truth is that any game can appear at the Summer Game Fest (or The Game Awards), although there are companies more related to Keighley than others. For example, Sega and Capcom are always candidates to show something and this year there is talk of Persona, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Street Fighter 6 and Resident Evil, while the odd rumor claims that we will attend the presentation of the third part of Final Fantasy VII Remake. There are those who are betting on the announcement of the next NetherRealm Studios game, which could be Injustice 3, they also say that ArenaNet’s confirmed presence is to present Guild Wars 3.
In addition, there are several games scheduled for 2026 that do not yet have a date and could be announced today, including Lords of the Fallen II, Kena: Scars of Kosmora, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse and Talos Principle III. Finally, we have riskier bets, such as the appearance of titles like the remake de Splinter Cell, Alien Isolation 2, Kingdom Hearts IV, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, Halo: Campaign Evolved, Persona 6, Hogwarts Legacy 2 o Star Wars Jedi 3.
