Nintendo and PlayStation are two odd inclusions, since both typically host their own presentations, Nintendo Direct and State of Play respectively.

Summer Game Fest Could Be Packed With Surprises
Major Announcements & Shadow Drops
With a little over a week until Summer Game Fest begins, there’s been a pretty tight lid on things. Some of the announced partners are quite exciting, though. CD Projekt Red could debut another trailer forThe Witcher 4, or finally reveal the remake of the originalWitcher.Capcom is expected to announceResident Evil 9any day now, but people are also holding out hope for aCode: Veronicaremake. Then there’s the ever-elusiveBioShock 4, which is rumored to resurface after a notably long and bumpy development.
Personally, I’m most anticipating the news coming from Embark Studios. It’s almost certainly something regardingARC Raiders, which had asuccessful technical testrecently. A release date seems likely, but I’m hoping for a shadowdrop a laThe Finalsat The Game Awards 2023. Regardless,Summer Game Festnever seems to disappoint, and there’s sure to be plenty to get excited about.
