RECAP: This year's Summer Game Fest showcased numerous trailers for games that premiered at the show as well as updates on titles that fans are still awaiting. Among the biggest announcements were a new Resident Evil game, a Guild Wars sequel, the latest Final Fantasy title, a new game from the creator of Assassin's Creed, the return of Virtua Fighter, and more.
Following Sony's June 2026 State of Play, which contained plenty of PC game announcements, Summer Game Fest brought more world premieres and new previews. Microsoft is set to showcase more games this Sunday.
Friday's trailer reel started with Resident Evil Veronica, a remake of Resident Evil: Code Veronica, originally released in 2000. This week's trailer didn't reveal much other than its impressive graphics and the return of Resident Evil 2 protagonist Claire Redfield. It is set for release next year on Steam, the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2.
ArenaNet also announced Guild Wars 3 at Summer Game Fest. The new entry in the popular MMO series is a prequel to the original game and features a new open-world traversal system.
For the first time, Guild Wars will be available across PC and console, supporting both gamepad and mouse-and-keyboard controls. A beta is planned for Fall 2027, and fans can wishlist the game now on Steam and PlayStation 5.
