Wilding out.

Just a week after revealing a fresh gameplay trailer at Sony’s State of Play, Capcom showed off some more of the upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds in a much more dramatic clip. Unfortunately, MonHun fans are going to have to wait a while, as the game isn’t launching until 2025.

Palworld is getting a new island... and a whole lot more.

The breakout hit is rolling out a big update on June 27th, adding new environments, pals, buildings, raids, and a new enemy oil rig. It’s also launching dedicated servers on Xbox.

And the award for weirdest Summer Game Fest trailer goes to...

Skate. No seriously. EA’s fourth entry in the Skate series was heralded by a slightly confusing skit featuring I Think You Should Leave star Tim Robinson. You could hear the audible bewilderment from the audience once the skit was over and it was only after the video did the audience sound a collective “Ohhhh” when we found out it was a Skate trailer. Lol.

2024 is the year of Shadow (the Hedgehog.)

Sonic Generations was a good-ass game and I’m excited for its darker, edgier sequel Sonic x Shadow Generations. Just in time for the Sonic 3 movie, Sonic x Shadow Generations adds a gaggle of new levels to play as Shadow the Hedgehog — but let’s not get our hopes up that Keanu Reeves will make an appearance in this one. Sonic X Shadow Generations launches on Xbox, PC, and PlayStation October 25th.

Alan Wake awakens.

Remedy is finally detailing the first add-on for Alan Wake 2, which it has been teasing since last month. It’s called Night Springs, features three episodes, and launches tomorrow. Even better: the game is finally getting a physical edition later this fall.

Tea with a twist.

Wanderstop comes from the creators of the Stanley Parable, and its trailer makes the teamaking management game seem pretty cozy... at least at first.

Go Go Power Rangers!

I did not have a new Power Rangers game on my Summer Game Fest Bingo sheet and judging from the theater’s enthusiastic reaction, nobody else did either. Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind from Digital Eclipse looks like it taps into all the goofy-ass action and comedy that made Power Rangers so cool back in the day and even now. Can’t wait to play when it comes to PC and consoles later this year.

A scary game with an even scarier name.

Slitterhead — a new release from Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama, which was first announced back in 2021 — looks plenty creepy in this new gameplay trailer. But honestly, it’s the game’s title that gives me the chills. It launches on November 8th.

From horror movies to games.

We knew that Blumhouse was getting into the gaming world, and this sizzle reel shows an impressive — and scary — slate of upcoming games from the new label.

Persona with a dash of high fantasy.

Atlus showed off a new trailer for its awkwardly titled roleplaying game Metaphor: ReFantazio. Despite the strange name, there are plenty of reasons to be excited, as this RPG comes from many of the same minds behind the beloved Persona series. It launches on October 11th on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero arrives on October 11th.

It features gameplay reminiscent of the Budokai Tenkaichi series — but brings it to “whole new levels.” Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is headed to PS5, Xbox Series X | S, and PC

Surely there’s a better way.

Chinese developers Game Science debuted a new trailer for its action RPG based on the classic novel Journey to the West — Black Myth: Wukong. While light on actual gameplay, the trailer did show the Monkey King pulling his iconic staff weapon out of his ear. I’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to put those all the way in there. Black Myth: Wukong launches August 20th on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.

Arkham Shadow emerges from the shadows.

A month ago, we got news that a new Batman: Arkham game was in the works, this time exclusively for the Meta Quest 3. Now, we have a brief trailer detailing a very bad July 4th in Gotham City. Unfortunately, Arkham Shadow still doesn’t have a release date — only that it will arrive in fall 2024.

Neva say never.

First revealed last year, Neva is the follow-up to the stunning adventure Gris. The new game looks just as beautiful and also adds a wolf companion. It’s launching on the Switch, PS5, Xbox, and PC.

Thank goodness this has a release date.

One of the more charming upcoming titles under Panic’s growing publishing label, Thank Goodness You’re Here is launching very soon: it’ll be out August 1st on PC, Switch, and PlayStation. There’s also a demo out on Steam so you can check it out, and a new trailer featuring none other than Matt Berry, of What We Do in the Shadows fame.
