I mean that in a complimentary way — it seems silly and fun! It’s launching in 2027.

at least we got some Persona news, with Persona 4 Revival coming to the Xbox on February 18th.

The zombie apocalypse game will be available on Xbox, PC, and PS5.

The event kicks off at 1PM ET. Once the showcase is over, it will transition directly into a presentation focused on Gears of War: E-Day, which is scheduled to launch sometime this year.

”You might see some characters from the game pop up,” Michael Sarnoski told IGN, but don’t expect a straightforward adaptation of the games. He’s working on revisions to the script with Hideo Kojima and A24 right now and said:

I’ll be back tomorrow with more of the Verge crew to keep covering Summer Game Fest. The Xbox Games Showcase starts at 1PM ET and the PC Gaming Show kicks off at 3PM ET. See you all then, and if I missed any cool games, tell me about them!

There have been a lot of events recently, but Devolver’s next big show will happen “later in the year.” Still, with the Xbox Games Showcase and the PC Gaming Show on Sunday, there’s plenty to look forward to.

The sci-fi RPG, developed by a studio with ex-BioWare staff and published by Wizards of the Coast, is giving off serious Mass Effect vibes. But with no word yet on when the actual next Mass Effect game is coming out, next year’s Exodus looks like it could scratch the itch until that’s released.

According to a new look at the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot, Legacy of Atlantis, moments in the game like the T-Rex battle will be “transformed into epic gameplay encounters on a cinematic scale.”

In the game, you play as some kind of sword fighter in a book-inspired platformer world. I’m definitely interested. It’s launching on PS5 and Steam this fall.

Legacy of the Blood Moon will add new characters and new weapons, and it will launch at some point later this year.

Ubisoft showed off a “deep dive” of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, including some of the game’s graphical improvements, story updates, and combat and naval skirmishes. Resynced launches on July 9th for PS5, Xbox Series X / S, and PC.

That’s the premise of Don’t Fret, a new game launching on October 1st. I love music games, but I don’t know if they need horror?

The On the Trail: Deep Water DLC for the excellent mountain climbing game adds three new climbing spots and a new playable character. The game is also getting a free roam mode.

Thatgamecompany’s MMO, Sky: Children of the Light, will get an experience that’s “themed around the life and work of Vincent Van Gogh” on July 17th.

Two developers on Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve shared a few new details about the upcoming dogfighting game, including a preview of a giant battleship enemy that can go on land.

It will be available “soon” on PC and consoles.

The two-hour show kicks off at 3PM ET, and it will include a new look at Exodus, the big new sci-fi RPG published by Wizards of the Coast.

Last night, Sega and developer RGG Studio aired a 25-minute video about Virtua Fighter Crossroads, including a look at its story mode and the actual battles in the game. Crossroads is set to launch in 2027.

The in-game card game was one of the best parts of Rebirth, and while it wasn’t featured in Friday’s reveal, Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi gave a few hints to Polygon earlier this year about how Queen’s Blood will evolve:

It will feature “story-rich indie games” — which are my jam, so I’m excited. Tune in on YouTube.

Super Yooka-Laylee Kart looks like a love letter to an older generation of the karting genre. But it also has some modern upgrades, like eight-player local splitscreen and rollback netcode for online racing. There will be a “deep” story campaign, too — maybe it will rival Diddy Kong Racing?

Yes, and he wasn’t the only deceased figure to make an appearance in the “Tupac & Cast Reveal Trailer,” at last night’s event. It also featured the likeness of Bunta Sugawara, a legendary Japanese actor who died in 2014.

Hitman Classic Trilogy Remastered will include updated versions of Hitman: Codename 47, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, and Hitman: Contracts for modern platforms. It’s set to launch on PS5, Xbox Series X / S, and PC in 2027, and will add “enhanced visuals, improved performance, Photo Mode, and the ability to switch between classic and remastered presentations at any time.”

No details yet on when it will be released, but it will join a growing list of other big Capcom games on the platform like Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, and next year’s Resident Evil Veronica.

If you need a change of pace from the bombast of last night’s SGF Live, the Wholesome Direct, an indie-focused showcase, is streaming at 12PM ET. It’s always full of cute things to play.

The team behind Duck Detective announced what they describe as a Knives Out-inspired mystery, which is really all I need to hear to be curious about Apple Crumble. It’s launching on PC at some point this year.
