It is at the beginning of June, which means it is time to do a lot of video game Events! Raising from The ashes of E3The Geoff Kighley Summer Games Festival is now it Premium game event of the year, which is ahead of the Geoff Kighley Awards in December. Unlike the show he replaced, Summer Game Fest is an egalitarian theme, raising AAA developers and small Indies through a diverse set of streams. SGF 2025 Includes 15 individual events found from June 3 to 9-you can find The complete programming of the summer game 2025 here – And now we are in the middle of this program.
We are covering the SGF 2025 with a small team on the ground and a much larger group of writers who fit away at the various streams in time. Wait for the previews, interviews and reactions to the game to come in the coming days (the face -to -face component of the show has been since Saturday night) and a load of new trailers and ads of launching date in the middle.
Through everything, we are collecting the larger ads here, with links to a more detailed coverage where we have it, in chronological order.

UNREAL STATE: The Witcher IV and Fortnite Ai
Epic struck his wagon at SGF this year, aligning his annual conference of developers Unreal Fest, which last took place in the fall of 2024, with the consumer event. The conference was held in Orlando, Florida, from June 2 to 5, with more than a hundred sessions of developers focused on an unreal engine. The highlight was State of Unreal, which was the first event in the Official Summer Games Calendar. In the midst of a lot of very fantastic technological demonstrations and ads, we got some significant updates per Epic Fortnite and the next CD Projekt Red The Witcher IV.
The Witcher IV It was first presented to the game awards last year, and since then we have heard very little. In the state of Unreal, we got it A technological demonstration for UNREAL ENGINE 5.6played real -time on a PS5 base. The slot of about 10 minutes had a combination of games and cinema, and showed a detailed and lively world. Perhaps the most prominent technician was Nanite Fuliatge, an extension of the EU5 nanite system for geometry that foliage does without the level of detail that is perhaps the most widespread graphic aberration that still plays the current games. Next to the game, we saw a city full of hundreds of NPCS about its business. The city itself was not on the scale of The Witcher IIIThe newbigrad city, however, felt alive beyond anything that won the last game.
Is fair to say —ho FortniteThe moment in the spotlight was … less impressive. Epic announced that Creators will be able to roll their own NPC in the match earlier this year.

PlayStation State of Play: Marvel Tōkon, Silent Hill F and The Return of Lumines
Another company that went to the performances was Sony, which launched its third state of the year on the Summer Game program a couple of days before the starting night event. It was a full flow of Sony standards, with more than 20 games and even a surprise hardware ad.
The most time was given to Marvel Tōkon: Lighting SoulsA new PlayStation Studios fighter who fuses Marvel superheroes with anime visuals. It is also 4 verse 4, which is wild. It is developed by Arc System Works, the team perhaps best known for Guilty Gear Series. Will arrive in PS5 and PC in 2026. Not so coincidentally, Sony also announced Project Defiant, a wireless struggle stick that will support PS5 and PC and will reach … 2026.
Anywhere else we got a launch dates parade, with concrete dates Sword of the sea (August 19) Steps for babies (September 8) and Silent hill f (September 25). We also confirmed it Final Tactics Fantasy remorder (Next September 30), a new whole … Let’s call it aspirational “2026” date PragmaticThat, if you keep the score, it was announced next to the launch of the PS5. Great, Capcom!
Complete the show was a lot of smaller ads. We have heard of a new NiOh game, Niho 3which arrives in 2026; The new Suda51 strangeness Romeo is a dead man; and Lumina arosesuch a long -awaited return to the Luminas series of the developer behind it Tetris effect.
Thursday 5 June
Didelly Squat
There was no summer game event on Thursday. Suppose this is out of respect for antipodean trees, since June 5 was Arbor Day in New Zealand. (This is probably because everyone played Nintendo Switch 2.)

Summer Game Fest Live: Resident Evil Requiem, Stranger Than Heaven and sequels abound
It is fair to say that the opening night flows of the previous summer game have been … at best. This year’s show was undoubtedly an improvement, especially since there was less MMO mobile games and ads that made the presentation. Yes, People who follow the Gabe Newell yacht was disappointed that Half-Life 3 was not presented and the Silkgon The crowd is still sad, alone and unpleasant, but there were some huge ads.
Perhaps the largest of all was the “ninth” (Zero and Veronica code Erasure is real) Evil Game resident. Resident Evil Requiem It is said to be a tonal change compared to the last game, Evil Village resident. Here we hope you revive the series in the same way Evil VII resident Following the disappointing 6.
We also heard more things from Sega Studio Ryu Gotoku on Project Century, which seems to be a 1943 dam in the Yakuza series. Is Now it’s called Unknown that the skyAnd there is a (literally) new jazz trailer for your consideration.
Outside these great swings, there were sequelae of a medium -sized group, such as Atomic heart, Code vein and Deadly shelland a spiritual type of type: Scott Pilgrim Exa beat-em-up that carries the Brawler Ubisoft Brawler baton Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game.
There were countless other ads on the program, including:
Day of the Devs: Blighted, Snap & Grab, Blighted and Escape Academy II
As always, the Kickoff program was followed by a day of the Flow of Devs, which focused on smaller projects and indie games. You can Look at the full flow here.
Escape Academy has been firmly Our best Couch Coop Game List For some time, and now has a sequel on the way. Escape Academy 2: Back 2 to school Take the same basic fun of the cooperation exhaust room and expand, moving away from a map screen selected by level and to a school campus completely 3D so that players can explore. Whenever the puzzles are as fun as the original, it looks like a winner.
Resemblance Studio Nyamakop returns with New Jam called WheelA game fed with a unique touch. As in the real world, the Museums of the West are full of sacked articles of African nations under colonialism. Unlike the real world, to Wheel The colonial powers have signed a treaty to return these articles to their places of origin, but things will not plan, as many artifacts are in private collections. It’s your job to steal them. The British Museum is doing some boots.
Here are some of the other games that caught our attention:
The rest: Ball x Pit, Hitman and 007 First Light
After the devs day there was a return. Its summer game program was a little more silenced than usual, focused on a single game: Ball x chest. Is the next game of Kenny Sun, an indie developer who previously made a dream success Sun’s Hatbox. Ball x chest It is prepared by a team of more than half a dozen devs, in contrast to the previous works alone by Sun. Looks like an interesting mashup of Start and the mechanics of building bases, and there are A steam demonstration available right now.
Then came Ioi, Hitman’s manufacturers, who gathered a classic E3 -style crinephaest, full of uncomfortable breaks, poorly stopped demonstrations and repetitive trailers. Honestly, as someone who has been seeing the games company presentations for two decades or so, it was a good time of nostalgia.
Far from the wonder of a presenter trying to deal with everything that goes wrong, the show had some real content, with an extended demonstration of the new Hitman mission of James Bond, An ad that Hitman comes to iOS and the tableand a presentation on MindseyeA game by former GTA producer Leslie Benzies that IOI publishes.
SATURDAY-DIREMENGE: XBOX and much more
You are all trapped now. We look forward to this weekend, mainly Xbox on Sunday. We will update this article over the weekend and beyond, but you can find the latest announcements of Summer Game Fest 2025 on our homepage.
