Summer Game Fest 2024 Live Blog
Summer Game Fest is one of the world’s premier gaming events. As such, we can expect plenty of announcements and trailers for games coming to a variety of platforms. Here’s our coverage of the latest information from Summer Game Fest 2024.
Lego Horizon Adventures
Yes, you read that right. Aloy and her friends are coming to Lego, bringing Horizon’s machine-dismantling action to a new medium. If that wasn’t enough, there’s base building elements, dance parties, and co-op gameplay. Lego Horizon Adventures drops this holiday period for PlayStation, PC, and Switch.
No More Room in Hell 2
The new game by Torn Banner Studios, and daaaamn does it look good. This eight player game has every player starting alone on a massive map and trying to find their team and escape a zombie apocalypse. Expect plenty of gore, but be careful – there’s permadeath. No More Room in Hell drops in early access this Halloween for Steam and Epic Game Store.
Harry Potter Quidditch Champions
The newest Harry Potter game is a sports game dropping on September 3. The game lets you rise through the ranks of the quidditch champion, and it looks like we might get to go all the way to the World Cup. Quidditch Champions drops later this year for consoles and PC.
CUFFBUST
A prison game has no right being this cute. A team of what look to be gummy koala bears are working together on a prison break in what looks to be a particularly zany world. Dropping in 2025 (maybe), expect plenty of explosions and over the top action.
Star Wars Outlaws
The first open world Star Wars game is dropping this August, putting you in the shoes of a smuggler exploring the universe with their crew, whether they’re fighting weird and wonderful aliens or the Empire itself. More gameplay from Star Wars Outlaws will be shown at Ubisoft Forward.
Neva
Wow, this is charming. Are you sure this is a single person Geoff Keighley? Gris is a 2D sidescroller where you’re exploring a world alongside a white wolf with antlers, jumping from platform to platform and fighting enemies with your sword. It looks like there’s some heavy influence from Studio Ghibli, and the soundtrack is gorgeous.
Civilization VII
The most mysterious trailer yet! The camera is moving through a diorama of history, from the pyramids to the industrial revolution to a rocket launch. Of course, fans of the franchise know what to expect by now. We’ll pick a culture and lead it through its development, from the stone age to the present day. This one is definitely worth getting excited for – just be a dear and keep the nukes away from Gandhi.
Black Myth: Wukong
Inspired by Journey to the west, Black Myth: Wukong puts us in the shoes of the Monkey King in one of China’s best known stories. Black Myth: Wukong drops in August for PS5, Steam, and Epic Game Store.
Asgard’s Wrath II
This one looks fun, and it’s out now for free for Meta Quest users. There’s parkour, fishing, flying around in the talons of an eagle, and what looks like a mixture of different mythologies.
Once Human
Okay, this one looks amazing. There’s giants, walking houses, monsters, a variety of different weapons, and what looks like a shot from the point of view of a spider. Once Human drops in July, so keep your eye on this one.
