Marvel Tōkon, Resident Evil Requiem and more

It is in early June, which means it is time for a ton of video game events! Get up E3 ashesGeoff Keighley’s summer match festival is now THE High -end game event of the year, just before… Geoff Keighley’s Game Awards in December. Unlike the spectacle he replaced, Summer Game Fest is an egalitarian affair, light games from AAA developers and small Indies through a diversified set of live flows. The SGF 2025 includes 15 individual events from June 3 to 9 – you can find The full 2025 summer game calendar here – And we are slamming in the middle of this programming at the moment.

We cover the SGF 2025 with a small team on the field in Los Angeles and a much more important group of writers connecting remotely to the various live flows. Expect that the previews, interviews and game reactions arrive in the coming days (the component in person of the show takes place from Saturday-Monnay), and a cargo of new trailers and release announcements between the two.

Through all this, we bring together the biggest announcements here, with links to a more in -depth coverage where we have it, in chronological order.

Tuesday June 3

Unrealized state: The Witcher IV and Fortnite Ai

Epic has reached its cart at SGF this year, lining up its annual conference by developer Unreal Fest, which took place for the last time in the fall of 2024, with the consumer event. The conference took place in Orlando, Florida, from June 2 to 5, with many more than a hundred developer sessions focused on a Unreal engine. The highest point was State of Unreal, which was the first event on the official summer game celebrations. In the middle of a bunch of very cool demos and technological announcements, we have obtained significant updates on Epic Fortnite and the next CD Projekt Red The Witcher IV.

The Witcher IV Was unveiled for the first time at the Game Awards last year, and we have heard of it very little since. In the state of unrealone, we obtained A technological demo for a 5.6 unreal enginePlayed in real time on a PS5 base. The niche of about 10 minutes included a mixture of gameplay and cinema and showed a detailed and lively world. Perhaps the technical culmination point has been the nanite foliage, an extension of the UE5 nanite system for geometry which makes the foliage without the level of detail which is perhaps the most widespread graphic aberration which still afflicts the games today. On the game side, we saw a city filled with hundreds of NPCs going to their business. The city itself was not entirely on the scale of The Witcher IIIis Novigrad City, but nevertheless felt alive in a way that the last game obtained.

It is just to say that FortniteThe moment in the spotlight was… less impressive. Hot on smooshing heels a profane dark vader ai in the game, Epic has announced that Creators will be able to drive their own IA NPCs In the game later this year.

PlayStation State of Play: Marvel Tōkon, Silent Hill F and the return of Lumines

Another company obtaining one step ahead of the procedures was Sony, which launched its third play of the year on the summer holiday calendar a few days before the opening evening event. It was a crowded flow according to Sony’s standards, with more than 20 games and even a surprise material announcement.

The greatest time was given to Marvel Tōkon: fight soulsA new PlayStation Tag Fighter studios which merges Marvel superheroes with anime visuals. It is also 4 against 4, which is wild. It is developed by Arc System Works, the team may be better known for the Guilty Gear series. He arrives on PS5 and PC in 2026. Not so collaborator, Sony also announced that Project DEUX, a wireless battle that will support PS5 and PC and will arrive in … 2026.

Elsewhere, we have obtained a parade of liberation dates, with concrete dates to Sea sword (August 19) Step (September 8) and Silent Hill F (September 25). We have also obtained confirmation of this Tactics Final Fantasy remaster (to come on September 30), a brand new … Let’s call it “2026” ambitious ” date PragmaticWho, if you keep the score, has been announced alongside the launch of the PS5. Great go, Capcom!

To complete the show, a lot of classified ads. We have heard of a new Nioh game, Nioh 3to come in 2026; Suda’s new oddity 511 Romeo is a dead man; And The lumines ariseA long -awaited return to the developer’s lumines series behind Tetris effect.

Thursday June 5

Squat Diddly

On Thursday, no summer game holiday events were scheduled for Thursday. We assume that it is not respect for the antipodelary trees, because June 5 was the arbor day in New Zealand. (It’s probably because everyone played Nintendo Switch 2.)

Friday June 6

Summer Game Fest Live: Resident Evil Requiem, Stranger Than Heaven and Sils abound

It is fair to say that the opening evenings of the previous summer game were … at the best of Whelming. This year’s show was certainly an improvement, especially because there was exponentially fewer mobile games and MMO advertisements strewn. Yes, People following the Newell Gabe Yacht were disappointed that Half-life 3 did not arise, and the Silk song The crowd remains sad, alone and unloved, but there were nevertheless huge announcements.

The biggest of all was perhaps the “ninth” (Zero And Veronica Code The erasure is real) Resident Evil Game. Resident Evil Requiem would be a tonal change compared to the last game, Resident evil village. Hoping that he invigorates the series in the same way Resident Evil VII made after the disappointing 6.

We also heard more from Sega Studio Ryu Ga Gotoku on Project Century, which seems to be a 1943 version of the Yakuza series. It is now called Stranger than the skyAnd there is a new Jazzy trailer (literally) for your consideration.

Apart from these large swings, there were a lot of medium size games, such as Atomic heart,, Code vein And Mortal shelland a kind of spiritual suite: Scott Pilgrim ExA beat-up that takes the Brawler Ubisoft 2010 Brawler stick Scott Pilgrim against the world: the game.

There have been countless other announcements at the show, including:

Developer Day: Explosive, Snap & Grab, Breast and Escape Academy II

As always, the kick -off show was followed by a day of the flow of developers, which focused on small projects and independent games. You can Look at the full flow here.

Academy was firmly on Our list of cooperation games for the best sofa For a while, and now he has a suite on the way. Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School Takes the same basic pleasure in the cooperative escape room and develops, moving away from a level level of level level and a fully 3D school campus to explore. As long as the puzzles themselves are as fun as the original, it looks like a winner.

Semblance Studio Nyamakop is back with New Jam called OverwhelmedA turning game with a unique turn. As in the real world, western museums are full of pounded articles by African nations under colonialism. Unlike the real world, in Overwhelmed The colonial powers have signed a treaty to return these articles to their places of origin, but things will not plan, because many artifacts find their way in private collections. It’s your job to steal them. The British Museum is trembling in its boots.

Here are some of the other games that attracted our attention:

The rest: X Pit ball, hitman and 007 first light

After the developers’ day came Devolver. His summer game holiday show was a little more silent than usual, focusing on a single match: X Pit Ball. This is Kenny Sun’s next game, an independent developer who previously made the Dumbmot’s hitter Hatbox of Mr. Sun. X Pit Ball is manufactured by a team of more than half a dozen developers, unlike previous work mainly solo from Sun. It looks like an interesting mashup of Burst and basic construction mechanisms, and there is A steam demo available at the moment.

Then came Ioi, the manufacturers of Hitman, who set up a classic E3 style cringefest, full of clumsy breaks, badly rhythmic demos and repetitive trailers. Honestly, as a person who has been watching presentations of games for about two decades, it was a good time of nostalgia.

Far from the wonder of a presenter trying to face everything that is wrong, the show had real content, with a prolonged demo of the new mission to Hitman on the theme of James Bond, An announcement that Hitman arrives on iOS and table topsand a presentation on MindseyeA game from the former producer of GTA, Leslie Benzies, which IOI publishes.
