Summer Game Fest 2024 will take place on June 8, at midnight Moscow time. The two-hour conference, often referred to as the successor to E3, will feature story trailers and gameplay from unreleased games. But we hope to see announcements of completely new projects. Our article is dedicated to them.
What we saw in the Summer Game Fest 2024 trailer
Unfortunately, almost all of the games featured in the official event video have been shown before. We are talking about an add-on. Shadow of the Erdtree in front Elden Ring, Star Wars Outlaws from Ubisoft and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, as well Batman: Arkham Shadow for virtual reality headsets. However, towards the end of the trailer we saw a few stills of it Alan Wake 2. Most likely this is a hint at the first addition called Night Springs. It is dedicated to the heroes of the horror series, which takes place in the universe Alan Wake and Check.
In this article we will not talk about games that have already received official trailers, such as GTA 6. Our material focuses on possible announcements that are rumored.
Are you interested in conferences where games are announced?
Lego Horizon
Insiders claimed that Sony would be making some high-profile announcements during the recent state of affairs. However, this did not happen. Now journalists are waiting for surprises from the Japanese company at the Summer Game Fest. According to them, at the conference we will learn about the cooperation between the series Horizon and Lego. If the rumors are true, we are waiting for an open world game where you have to hunt giant robots, which are assembled from their own plastic construction set.
Add-on for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
Information about story DLC for the second Spider-Man appeared last year. Most likely, we are talking about a separate game for Venom. IN Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 had short episodes where we controlled the symbiote, but they turned out to be too simple compared to the gameplay as spiders. Furthermore, the developers need to expand Venom’s capabilities, otherwise playing as him will quickly become boring.
Mafia 4
The publisher, represented by 2K, promised to announce a new part of the famous series on June 7, that is, during the Summer Game Fest 2024. This project may turn out fourth mafia. Its development has already been confirmed by the Hangar 13 studio. Insiders claim that the new game will be set in the 1920s and will tell about the formation of Don Salieri from the original. “Mafia” 2002.
Borderlands 4 and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands 2
However, it is still unknown which project 2K representatives were talking about. We could talk about the fourth Borderlands. It is already actively being worked on, but no official announcement has been made yet. It is also known that Gearbox will release Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands 2, a direct sequel fantasy offshoot of the series.
DOOM: The Dark Ages
Rumors of a new one Doom has been around for a long time. It is quite possible that the new part of id Software’s famous series will be announced at Summer Game Fest 2024. According to insiders, it will be subtitled The Dark Ages, and the action will unfold in the Middle Ages. Most likely, the demons have traveled back in time and are trying to change the course of history, so the Doom Slayer will have to go after them.
Gears 6
Like the first three parts Gears of War was developed by Epic Games at the time fourth and The fifth game in the series was created by developers at The Coalition. Relatively recently they announced the recruitment of people to work on Gears 6. At the same time, actor Liam James McIntyre, who voiced JD, said we’ll learn something new about his character in June. The puzzle comes together when the sixth Gears of War is announced at the Summer Game Fest.
Resident Evil 9
In March we saw Capcom’s roadmap. There’s a release on it The ninth “Resident Evil” is scheduled for next fall. In addition, there was information about remakes original game from 1996, Resident Evil 0 and Code: Veronica and also fifth part. The latter option seems the least likely, as the network is already accusing the developers of racism due to battles with dark-colored zombies.
Over the past five years, Capcom has alternated between classics and brand new titles. If this trend continues, the next announcement should be Resident Evil 9. Insiders claim that the main character will be Leon Kennedy, but it is possible that other heroes from the original trilogy will appear.
