After multiple years in early access, the legally distinct Pokemon-like game Palworld is getting its 1.0 version very soon.

Palworld 1.0 will launch on July 10, developer Pocketpair announced during Summer Game Fest today.

"We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our passionate community who has stayed with us through this journey. We are fully committed to delivering a deeper, more evolved, and definitive Palworld experience worthy of a full launch," the developer said.

Coinciding with the 1.0 announcement, Pocketpair announced that Palworld is currently 25% off on Steam, bringing it down to $22.50.

Palworld originally launched on PC and Xbox in January 2024, becoming a gigantic success and breaking records. It came to PS5 in September 2024.

Palworld is not available on Nintendo Switch. Nintendo sued Pocketpair in 2024 on patent infringement accusations. The game was updated in 2025 with "compromises" due to the legal matter.

If there's one title that's defined my life in gaming, it's Virtua Fighter. I've adored the series since I was a young arcade-going teenager, and even now, 30 years later, I'm still going to fighting game events across the country to support my favorite game series of all time. My affection for the gameplay, the characters, and the overall design of Virtua Fighter has only grown over this time, but there's still one thing I've always wanted from VF: a proper focus on story. And now, it finally, finally looks like I'm getting that in Virtua Fighter Crossroads, which had a new trailer debut at Summer Game Fest.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9_pg896v6s&feature=youtu.be

Yes, there is lore in the manuals. Yes, there's the Virtua Fighter anime, and it's pretty fun. Yes, there's Virtua Quest, which I did play through--more than once, even! But Virtua Fighter has always been first and foremost about the fighting, with character personalities being evoked through fisticuffs moreso than dialogue. Most of the games don't even have endings beyond a credits roll--a fact that's made the series a hard sell to my brother-in-law, who loves the wild lore of the Mortal Kombat titles.

But with RGG Studios at the helm, that's changing. I'm finally going to get a chance to see the characters I've loved for decades developed, their stories expanded, their motivations and personalities explored. That's really exciting. Plus, with the game being set some time after Virtua Fighter 5, the writers have a lot to play with in terms of character development during that lengthy gap. I'm eager to see how all of my old favorites look after the timeskip--including, of course, my best girl Vanessa--and how their fighting gameplay has evolved to match their narratives.

I'm still kind of weirded out about the F-bombs in the trailer, though. I'm not totally sold on the design of the new guy, Cielo, yet either. But I have a lot of hopes. And if this is what will get more people coming to tournaments and digging deeper into VF's top-class combat, I'm all in.

Welcome back, Virtua Fighter. I've never been more ready.

I loved 007 First Light when I reviewed it a few weeks ago, but I was glad Bawma, the pirate portrayed by Lenny Kravitz, didn't get much screen time. Unfortunately, he's getting more screen time soon, as IO Interactive has announced during Summer Game Fest that a new story mission is on the way, and it focuses on the surprisingly rizz-less Bawma.

https://twitter.com/summergamefest/status/2063022230255374414

IO didn't mention whether the new mission comes with a price tag, though sitting through more of Kravitz's janky line reads is a high enough price, I feel.

Alongside the new Bawma mission, the game's content roadmap for 2026 has been revealed, with several other beats to look forward to if you can't get enough of IO's original take on Bond.

007 First Light roadmap

The game's side mode, TacSim, will be adding new challenges and upgrades, and similar to your favorite TikTok pranksters, Bond will be getting his very own smartglasses as a new gadget.

007 First Light roadmap

The Switch 2 version is still on the way, as well as photo mode, new game plus, and a technical upgrade that will allow for path tracing. You'll also want to have the game ready to boot up on October 5, as IO will be celebrating James Bond Day with an in-game reward.

A brand-new story and gameplay trailer for Star Wars Zero Company was shown during Summer Game Fest Live, giving us our first real look at the turn-based-tactics game's narrative and its cast of original characters. The trailer showcased gameplay for the upcoming Star Wars game as well, including how your choices can shape the roster of your squad.

In a nice surprise, the trailer ends with the reveal that Anakin Skywalker will be in the game as well, likely as a prominent unit that will work alongside the titular Zero Company in certain missions. Narratively, that does make a lot of sense. Anakin was known as a bit of a rebel during the Clone Wars who engaged in unorthodox tactics and led missions that bent or outright broke the rules of engagement, and it sounds like Zero Company was built around values like that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxLUZ1omFA8

Star Wars Zero Company is in development at Bit Reactor, and its gameplay style should feel familiar if you've played the recent XCOM games. Hawks, the leader of a gun-fire-hire group called Zero Company, must get them to set aside their differences in order to take down a galaxy-killing threat.

The game takes place toward the end of the Clone Wars, right before the events of Revenge of the Sith. As seen in the new trailer, the war has begun to create cracks in multiple organizations and begun splintering both sides of the civil war. Zero Company itself is composed of individuals mostly from the Republic, but there are a few ex-Separatists in there too.

Patrice Desilet, the creator of Assassin's Creed, has announced 1666 Amsterdam at Summer Game Fest. It's his first game in seven years.

1666 Amsterdam is a third-person, dark, story-led action-adventure where you play as Noa the Collector, who has the power of witchcraft to investigate demonic entities during the day before facing them at night.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nUzNiiCi2Q

Interestingly, this means the Assassin's Creed creator has a witch game going head-to-head with Assassin's Creed Hexe, also a witch-focused game.

While there is currently no release window confirmed for 1666 Amsterdam, you will get to play it before Ubisoft's upcoming title, as Panache Digital Games has also dropped a prologue demo of the game on Steam and Epic Games Store, which offers around 30 minutes of gameplay.

The studio's last game was Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, originally planned as an episodic survival game, though the studio lacked the funds to fulfil that vision.

As part of Summer Game Fest, developer Innersloth announced a brand-new Among Us game--it's called Among Us Story: On Guard.

"Live life as a Crewmate in this dangerous narrative adventure through space. As Guard, you're in charge of shipwide security and everything is fine. Until there's a MURDER?! Prove your innocence before the Impostor gets to the rest of the crew… and you," reads a line from the game's description.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkQrwf8sfaY

The game invites players to "meet the Among Us universe in a whole new way" by playing as the Guard, the person responsible for security on the ship. Players need to identify the impostor and also complete tasks by uncovering clues. 

There isn't much more to go on right now, but you can wishlist the game now on Steam. A free demo will be released on June 15.

Also at Summer Game Fest, Innersloth announced that all 10 episodes in the animated Among Us TV series are now streaming on Paramount+.

After a domain for Guild Wars 3 was updated, fans began to believe an announcement for the anticipated MMO sequel was imminent. The game was officially announced as part of Summer Game Fest 2026. A beta is set to launch in Fall 2027. Guild Wars 3 will release on both PC and PlayStation 5, making it the first game in the series to be playable on console.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITPzxITngqA

Technically, the Guild Wars 3 domain was purchased way back in 2004, before the original game was released (thanks GamesRadar). However, eagle-eyed fans spotted that domain got an update on June 5, 2026, just one day before Summer Game Fest started.

The trailer specifies that the footage is in-engine, though no specific UI or gameplay elements are shown. In it, an armor-clad character rides a massive, multi-colored, and horned mount. The same character bounds up a steep stone wall with magical boots and witnesses a flying axolotl-like creature. Some other examples of player-characters are briefly seen, including a bear wearing plate armor, a little goblinesque creature (probably an Asura), and a humanoid woman.

Both the original game and its sequel have had a long run. Since its initial release in 2012, Guild Wars 2 has gotten continual updates, including an expansion titled Visions of Eternity in October 2025. Gear Wars Reforged, a remaster of the first MMO, launched in December 2025.

As part of Summer Game Fest today, developer That's No Moon--a studio founded by former Call of Duty and Naughty Dog developers--announced its first game, and it's not what anyone expected.

The game is called Crossfire, and it's the latest attempt from Korean publisher Smilegate--which funded That's No Moon--to make Crossfire popular in the West. That's No Moon recruited a big name, The Boys and Call of Duty actor Claudia Doumit--to star in the military shooter.

The developers at That's No Moon understand that Crossfire is going to be divisive, and they are OK with that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCqw26hm0ko

T

Crossfire launched back in 2007, and has been very popular in South Korea. In fact, it was the most popular FPS on the planet for a period of time.

A Crossfire game for the West, CrossfireX, was released in 2022, but shut down a year later. Alan Wake developer Remedy built the game's single-player.

The new Crossfire game, which is simply titled Crossfire, is in the works now for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game does not have a release date yet.

That's No Moon was founded in part by Taylor Kurosaki, who previously worked on the Call of Duty and the Uncharted franchises.

At Summer Games Fest, the newly announced Paramount Games Studio has revealed that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin--previously in the works at THQ Nordic's Black Forest Games--is now in development at Platinum Games.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_RnIOj126E

This isn't the first TMNT game from Platinum, though we're hoping that it will be better than the studio's previous attempt. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan was met with largely negative reviews in 2016, in stark contrast to the studio's usually excellent action games.

Unlike some of the more family-friendly takes on the TMNT, The Last Ronin takes place in a dark future where the Foot Clan reigns and three out of the four turtles are dead. That leaves the remaining brother to take up the arms of his fallen siblings for one last battle against Shredder's grandson.

The Last Ronin was originally published in 2020 and it marked the creative reunion of TMNT creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, who collaborated on the story for the first time in decades. The miniseries was scripted by Eastman and Tom Waltz and illustrated by Esau Escorza, Isaac Escorza, Ben Bishop, and Eastman. It proved to be so popular that additional Last Ronin comics have been published and a novelization was released earlier this month.

In 2023, The Last Ronin's video game was announced and described as a God of War-inspired single-player game. The Last Ronin was also in development as a live-action film before Paramount canceled the project in late 2025.

A celebrity-filled cast grows even more.

Stranger than Heaven, the new game from Sega's RGG Studios, already has a star-studded cast with big names from both the Eastern and Western music and acting scenes. One of the latest cast additions, however, is definitely a head-turner: the likeness of beloved rapper Tupac Shakur. Tupac was a beloved musician before his murder in 1996, and his popularity has only grown since.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVDWs_yaf2Y

Snoop Dogg, who also plays a major role in the game, commented on Tupac's addition during the Summer Game Fest presentation, saying "The Tupac estate, my son and myself ... we work very closely together, so it just made sense to put him in this game. His likeness, his spirit still lives on."

Tupac isn't the only departed cast member taking a role in Stranger than Heaven, as the likeness of beloved Japanese actor Bunta Sugawara (of Battles Without Honor or Humanity fame) is also appearing in-game. In addition, several famous Japanese actors and voice actors were newly announced to be appearing in the game in various roles: Takashi Ukaji, Takaya Kuroda, Kohei Tsuji, and Yasukaze Motomiya. A release date of January 15, 2027 was also confirmed.

Following a tease earlier this year, Alien Isolation 2 was officially revealed during a new trailer that debuted as part of Summer Game Fest.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi2dJHeCAh0

Like the original Alien: Isolation, which released in 2014, the sequel is being developed by Creative Assembly, published by Sega, and directed by Al Hope. Just under two minutes long, the trailer provides a glimpse at a mysterious, rainy planet (presumably where the game will take place) and the voice of what seems to be Weyland-Yutani's CEO can be heard chastising someone for an expensive mistake.

"That's something the company rarely forgives," she continues. "This is your last chance, do you understand?"

"Yes," replies a second female voice who sound an awful lot like Amanda Ripley. "I understand."

An abandoned flamethrower can be seen lying on the ground, still burning, as a close-up shot of a Xenomorph slithering through the shadows sets the stage for another pulse-pounding survival-horror experience. Aside from the Xenomorph, the trailer doesn't offer a look at any other characters, but it's hard to imagine playing as anyone other than Amanda, daughter of Ellen Ripley and protagonist of the original game.

The wait for Alien Isolation 2 has certainly been a long one, with the previous game releasing all the way back in 2014. Since then, there's been something of a resurgence for the Alien brand--we've gotten multiple films as well as the excellent Alien: Earth series, for which Season 2 is currently in production.

Per the trailer, Alien: Isolation 2 will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S, and is currently available to wishlist on Steam, though it's listing page doesn't appear to have gone live at the time of writing.

StudioMDHR has announced that it's developing not one but two new Cuphead games during Summer Game Fest 2026. One of these will be a hand-animated game, although there are no further details, nor confirmation that it will follow in the same animation style of the original game, which was inspired by 1930s cartoons.

Given that the world-premiere trailer was accompanied by a special bulletin created by Toronto’s Stop Motion Department & Continue Agency, it may be a hint that the next game will be a stop-motion game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReKPvy2vDBs

What we do know is that the second game, being developed by a smaller team within StudioMDHR, is a retro-inspired platforming spin-off titled Mighty Cuphead Adventure.

A few brief seconds of gameplay shown via a CRT TV indicate the 8-bit title will feature run-and-gun stages as well boss fights with familiar faces. While Mighty Cuphead Adventure is confirmed for console and PC, it's not just emulating 8-bit games as Studio MDHR has confirmed that it has been built with clasic Assembly language. This means that hardcore retro fans will be able to play the game on a physical cartridge on the Sega Master System.

T

We received a fresh look at the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator Fumito Ueda at Summer Game Fest. Previously teased as Project Robot, the game is now titled Gen Atlas. A new trailer focused heavily on the sense of scale that you might expect from the acclaimed game director.

Though the trailer was light on story or gameplay details, it did show snippets of elements we might be able to expect from it. What appeared to be a flying mech head used a beam to lift up a mech body and attach to it, and later a mech was seen carrying and swinging a giant pillar. We also saw some ways that smaller human-scale characters will interact with the mechs, such as a humanoid character shooting at creatures from a moving tank, or climbing up a mech that was in motion.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etqFoXpIecw

Shadow of the Colossus also notoriously dealt with scale, as you would climb giant beasts to exploit their weak spots. This game appears to express similar ideas, though with a mechanized-robot component. The shooting combat also looked notably more similar to third-person shooters than we've traditionally seen in Ueda's games.

Shadow of the Colossus was critically acclaimed when it first released on PlayStation 2, and then again when Bluepoint Games released a remake on PS4 in 2018. Ueda's last game for Sony was The Last Guardian, after which he left to found his own studio called GenDesign.

If you're planning to buy either Madden NFL 27 or EA Sports College Football 27, EA has a new subscription service that may appeal to hardcore football fans. By paying $150 for the new MVP+ membership, players get the deluxe editions of both games, access to beta releases, and a lot of extra features throughout the year.

EA has shared the complete benefits of MVP+, as reproduced below:

EA Sports College Football 27 Deluxe Edition

Membership-only Rewards:

7 Day Early Access
Beta Access (June 4-7)
Monthly Ultimate Team™ Pack (12, one delivered at the start of every month)
All Mascots unlocked in Mascot Mashup
83 OVR BND Cornerstones player (Choice of 1 of 4)
150 Dynasty Coach Points
Exclusive Dynasty Skill Tree | Rainmaker
500 Road to Glory Skill Points

Deluxe Edition Rewards:

4600 College Football Points
Exclusive Early Access Solo Challenges
81 OVR BND Cover Athlete Player Item (Choice of 1 of 3)
1 Upgradable Ultimate Team Player Item

Madden NFL 27 Deluxe Edition

Membership-only Rewards:

7 Day Early Access
Beta Access (June 11-14)
Monthly Ultimate Team Pack (12, one delivered at the start of every month)

Season 1 Player Item

Deluxe Edition Rewards:

4600 Madden Points
Exclusive Early Access Solo Challenges
Cover Athlete Elite Ultimate Team Player Item
500 Franchise Points
1 Superstar Legendary XP Boost
1 Ultimate Team Evo Item

Although EA plans to make the MVP+ a subscription service for next year's Madden and College Football games, players do have the option of declining to automatically renew. Doing so won't result in losing either game or any of the benefits because all of it is paid for upfront.

This deal is only available in the United States and Canada for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 users. EA Play and Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can also get a 10% for their MVP+ membership.

Players Alliance--a group that is staunchly opposed to EA's pending buyout by investors including Saudi Arabia's PIF--issued a statement that condemns the MVP+ subscription for its "aggressive monetization."

"EA's new MVP+ membership is another attempt to rip off gamers by adding a yearly subscription on top of games that already push aggressive monetization.  This is an anti-consumer practice that turns everything from basic game features to bonus perks to early access into another recurring charge for people who already paid for the game. Gamers are watching EA turn more of gaming into a recurring charge, and the proposed private equity buyout will only accelerate that trend by saddling the company with $20 billion in debt. If EA wants gamers to keep supporting its games, it needs to pull out of this deal and stop nickel-and-diming its customers."

Resident Evil Requiem is only a few months old, but Capcom is already lifting the veil on its next game--the long-rumored Resident Evil: Code Veronica remake, now titled as simply Resident Evil Veronica. Revealed at Summer Game Fest today, this new spin on the classic Resident Evil game follows months of rumors pointing to its existence.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JNv2CwmoRA

Capcom has been fairly consistent with Resident Evil releases over the last couple of years, alternating between brand-new entries in the main series and remakes of the older games.

Resident Evil: Code Veronica has been conspicuously absent from the library of updated Resident Evil games, as release-wise, it was expected to arrive after 2020's Resident Evil 3 Remake. Instead, Capcom followed that game up with Resident Evil Village in 2021, the remake of Resident Evil 4 in 2023, and this year's best-selling Resident Evil Requiem.

Originally released in 2000 for the Sega Dreamcast, the survival-horror game followed Chris and Claire Redfield on a new mission, several months after the Raccoon City Incident. The game hasn't aged too well, thanks to its outdated gameplay mechanics, but its storyline, gothic themes, and memorable antagonists in the form of the Ashcroft Twins made it a cult classic.

The calendar has turned to June, which means it is now time for the season of game trailers and announcements. We saw PlayStation's State of Play earlier this week, and today Geoff Keighley takes the stage for Summer Game Fest Live 2026.

We know that Fortnite, Star Wars: Zero Company, and new racing game Clutch have all teased a presence at the show, but other than that, there have not been as many direct hints as there have been in previous years. A few games have been rumored, and there's the growing specter of Grand Theft Auto VI as the industry careens towards its November release date, but few games have been outright confirmed for Keighley's stage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdNmVWXuYec

We will be updating this page live throughout the presentation with game announcements, trailers, and more. Let the Summer Game Fest begin!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JNv2CwmoRA&pp=0gcJCSgLAYcqIYzv Resident Evil Veronica

Summer Game Fest Live will end its two-hour run with a look at a single-player, narrative-focused game, producer and host Geoff Keighley has confirmed.

https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/2062988880689992078

Keighley shared the news shortly before the show was set to begin, and did not elaborate on what the game could be, but the word "announcement" suggests it should be a brand-new reveal rather than an updated look at an already-announced game.

"Thank you for the feedback," Keighley added in the post, which looks like a cheeky nod to the ... mixed reception Highguard's announcement got during last year's The Game Awards. The multiplayer game, which was released not long after its announcement, struggled to find an audience and was completely shut down a short time later.

Typically, the "one more thing" that ends presentations of this magnitude are either much-wishlisted sequels from established franchises or brand-new games from acclaimed studios. It remains to be seen exactly what Keighley has in store this year, but with his affinity for Muppets, perhaps we can finally get that dark, brooding Kermit game we've all wanted for so long.

Minecraft Dungeons II is set for release in September, according to a store page for the game on Nintendo's website that seemingly went live too early.

Nintendo's website lists a September 29 release date for the sequel, and a $30 price point. The Minecraft social media pages have not posted about Dungeons II today, instead sharing a Backrooms meme.

People are theorizing that the announcement of the release date was supposed to happen at one of this weekend's gaming events, like possibly Summer Game Fest (June 5) or the Xbox Games Showcase (June 7).

In any event, the release date for Minecraft Dungeons II is out there now.

The original Minecraft Dungeons was released in 2020. A Diablo-style dungeon-crawler, Minecraft Dungeons was a spin-off of the main series and reached more than 25 million players, no doubt thanks in part to its inclusion on Xbox Game Pass.

The sequel was announced earlier this year. It takes players to new places and adds new enemies to fight.

After months of radio silence, Valve has given the strongest indication yet that its living room PC, the Steam Machine, and next-generation VR headset, the Steam Frame, are both nearing release.

In an update on Valve's Steamworks Development forums, the company committed to a summer release window for both devices. This could mean that you might be waiting for either all the way up until September, putting them well beyond the initial early 2026 promises from when Valve initially announced both the Steam Machine and Steam Frame last year. Despite the brief update, Valve has yet to share any pricing details for either device.

The ongoing memory and storage crisis, fueled by the demands of AI data centers, struck at exactly the wrong time for Valve as it was preparing the release of its Steam Machine. With speculation already rife over what the living room PC might cost, the company has since raised the prices of its Steam Deck by nearly 50%, with the 1TB OLED model now retailing for $950.

An increased wait for the Steam Machine has not helped its prospects, especially with the understanding now that it's likely going to launch at a much higher price than Valve initially desired. The devices 8GB of VRAM has been a contentious talking point since its reveal, with the wide belief that it's not enough to support new AAA releases, especially at 4K resolutions. That has been helped somewhat by AMD's announcement of FSR 4 support for older RDNA 3 GPUs, which the Steam Deck will ship with later this year.

Be sure to also see if you should be spending $100 on Valve's recently launched Steam Controller, which will be included with the Steam Machine when it arrives in a few months.

Paramount+ has just premiered the Among Us TV show, and 10 episodes are now available to stream for subscribers.

A page on Paramount+ appeared (via Wario64) today with no fanfare. It's unclear if the show was meant to already debut or--as is often the case ahead of big showcases--it was set live early, spoiling a surprise. Summer Game Fest Live, the Xbox Showcase, and many other events are set to take place in the coming days, with SGF Live just hours away.

The latter is the most likely source for such an announcement, as the Among Us Twitter account recently teased an SGF reveal. Of course, that could be for some other piece of news tied to the game.

The show was created by Owen Dennis--he is also the executive producer, alongside Forest Willard and Macrus Bromander. Carl Neisser from Among Us developer Innersloth is a producer as well. Titmouse, known for its work on countless films (and some games, like the Guitar Hero series), handled the animation work.
