Stellar Blade is a fast-paced action game that dropped in 2024, and we thought it was, well, stellar. Today’s Summer Game Fest showcase announced the series’ return, now with a new protagonist named Evie, but with all the style and action we know and love from the first game. Check out the reveal trailer below:

We didn’t initially know what game the footage was from when we watched the trailer live, but several of our editors quickly picked up on the groovy soundtrack, a standout feature from the original Stellar Blade. Once the combat kicked in, the resemblance was undeniable, but Evie doesn’t use a sword – she takes on foes using nothing but her fists. The game also looks fantastic, and if you watched the livestream, we’d recommend checking out the trailer again to see it in its full, uncompressed glory.

The game is still a ways out, with no release window announced yet, but we’re eager to learn when it is – and even more eager to play. For more Stellar Blade, check out our interview with the game’s developers.

Street Fighter 6’s Year 4 DLC fighter roster is being headlined by Final Fantasy VII’s Tifa Lockheart. The roster also includes newcomers Yasmin and Arjun, along with Bosch from the game’s World Tour mode.

Tifa’s martial arts prowess makes her a great fit for Street Fighter, and Capcom and Square Enix teases that she’ll also sport more Final Fantasy-centric abilities. Her impending arrival coincides with the Summer Game Fest reveal of Final Fantasy VII Revelation, the third and final game in the FFVII remake trilogy. 

Here’s when players can expect each character to arrive: 

Yasmine – August 3
Arjun – Autumn 2026
Tifa – Early 2027
Bosch – Spring 2027

After much speculation, we finally know the subtitle of the final entry in the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy: Revelation. Surprisingly, the game will also release for all platforms simultaneously. The Final Fantasy VII remake series will no long start as a PlayStation exclusive.

The game’s director says that Revelation’s theme is “resolve”. We also learned about a new skydiving mechanic which will allow players to leap from the airship down to the ground without any loading.

 

Characters will be able to wear new clothes and armor that will aid in their combat abilities.

The game will be available Spring 2027 to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Switch 2.

The Wolf Among Us 2 hasn’t been seen since 2024, but Bigby made his fairytale presence known during today’s Summer Game Fest showcase, revealing the game will finally launch in 2027. Plus, The Wolf Among Us Remastered arrives this Holiday season. 

The Wolf Among Us first launched way back in 2013 (and kind of 2014 because it was an episodic release), and its sequel was revealed in 2019. Telltale Games shut down, returned, the game’s development swapped hands, and then some, but The Wolf Among Us 2 is finally back and launching sometime next year. 

Check it out in The Wolf Among U 2: A Telltale Series reveal trailer for yourself below: 

If you’ve never played The Wolf Among Us, you should do so before the sequel launches next year, and fortunately, publisher Warner Bros. Interactive understands what can happen in an eight-year gap, answering with The Wolf Among Us Remastered. This remaster will launch sometime during the 2026 holiday season, but an exact release date was not given. 

The Wolf Among Us 2 will launch in 2027, and if the trailer’s ending is any indication, it’s being developed by Telltale and PM Studios. 

Attack On Titan, the manga and anime phenomenon, in 2023, but another video game adaptation is on the way. Attack On Titan 3 follows the story’s events through to its intense conclusion, while the last game in the series only covered through season 2 of the anime. Check out the reveal trailer below, though be warned that it, along with the remainder of this article, contains some serious spoilers for people in the middle of experiencing the story for the first time:

The footage shows gameplay from many of the climactic moments in the final seasons of the anime, including the fight for the War Hammer Titan in Marley, Levi’s fight with the Beast Titan in the woods, and the final battle against the Rumbling. While the game will supposedly follow the story “from beginning to end,” the trailer primarily shows content later in the story.

 

The trailer ends with the announcement that the “next scouting report” will come July 1, in just under a month. The game’s Steam page says the game is planned to be released sometime this year.

Screamer and Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged developer Milestone has revealed Hot Wheels Infinite Rush, and it’s launching in just a few months. More specifically, Hot Wheels Infinite Rush, which follows 2023’s Turbocharged, will hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC on September 24. 

This racing game, based on the uber-popular toy model cars, was revealed during today’s Summer Game Fest showcase stream by way of a trailer highlighting what to expect in Milestone’s latest crack at Hot Wheels. In the trailer, we see myriad vehicles riding around what appears to be an open world full of variety, from different cars to tracks and even environmental setpieces, including one reminiscent of King Kong. 

Check it out in the Hot Wheels Infinite Rush trailer for yourself below: 

As you can see, Hot Wheels Infinite Rush looks like a blast, and considering how fun Milestone’s latest racers, from the anime-inspired Screamer to its more focused racing Hot Wheels games Unleashed and Unleashed 2, we expect this one to be a good time. Fortunately, we don’t have to wait too long to find out. 

Hot Wheels Infinite Rush launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC on September 24.

Capcom has revealed that Monster Hunter Wilds, which launched last February, is getting an expansion next year. Titled “Ascendance,” it brings hunters to a brand new region set somewhere in the skies amongst the clouds and various floating islands, and it will launch next year. 

The developer specifically calls it a “massive expansion,” signaling that it will likely be as large as previous mainline Monster Hunter expansion installments, like Monster Hunter World’s Iceborn. As you might expect, Ascendance will feature all manner of new monsters to take on, from wyverns to other deadly beasts and more. 

Check it out in the Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance reveal trailer below: 

As you can see, there’s no official release date for Ascendance yet, but we do know it’s launching next year on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. 

In the meantime, read Game Informer’s Monster Hunter Wilds review. 

The Saw franchise is ideal inspiration for a horror game – disturbing visuals made even more horrifying when you’re the one experiencing them. But while I would have expected a single player experience, Saw: Genesis, announced today at Summer Game Fest, takes the franchise in an asymmetrical multiplayer direction. Check out the reveal trailer below:

Set in the aftermath of World War 1, Saw: Genesis centers around a character called the Judge, a precursor to Jigsaw. “Customize your approach with perks and traps, then seek to control the match from the shadows,” the game’s Steam page reads. “Unlike other asymmetrical multiplayer games, the Judge is physically vulnerable and cannot overpower the Accused through sheer force alone.” They’ll be up against three Accused, who will try to “work together to escape a deadly maze of traps, pressure, and impossible choices.”

The game’s publisher, Bloober Team, recently impressed the gaming world with the Silent Hill 2 remake, so we’re interested to see its work publishing this adaptation of this ancestor of Jigsaw. As mentioned above, the game already has a page on Steam, where you can wishlist it or sign up for the Closed Alpha.

The Blood of Dawnwalker, which recently appeared on the cover of Game Informer magazine, received a new trailer during Summer Game Fest and its biggest surprise was that it showed some modern day elements.

Up to this point, the game has firmly taken place in the past (or a fictional alternate history with vampires), but the newest trailer opens with a delivery man entering a contemporary building to deliver a package and the recipient is Coen.

 

The YouTube description for the trailer reads, “Coen’s story will continue – spanning centuries and carrying him to various corners of the world, far beyond Vale Sangora. New adventures, new powers, new dilemmas. And dark, ancient secrets waiting to be uncovered.” The implication being that developer Rebel Wolves and publisher Bandai Namco have grand plans for the new franchise.

The Blood of Dawnwalker releases September 3, 2026. For whole lot more on the game, head here.

Patrice Désilets and Panache Studios have revealed their second game, 1666: Amsterdam. This new action game lets players control a witch in the titular city.

Players control Noa Brooklyn, who is living in Amsterdam, which is inhabited by entities called The Originals. These long-living creatures have accumulated and abused their power, but it’s up to Noa to take that power back due to her role as a hunter of sorts called a Collector. 

To do that, Noa uses magic to expose and destroy the demonic Originals in an open-world Amsterdam. The Originals resemble normal humans, so it takes a keen eye and plenty of magical tricks to locate them. Noa will have help from 300 years in the future in the form of Aaron, a person hailing from 1999 who is transported back in time and occupies the body of a black cat. And yes, it looks like you can control Aaron in his feline form. 

Désilets took the Summer Game Fest stage to reveal that the game is launching into Early Access later this year, and that players can download a free playable prologue today on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
