Ueda, behind games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, showed off his new title, a sci-fi shooter. There’s no details on when it will come out, but it will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X / S, and the Epic Games Store (Epic is publishing it).

Uh oh, the xenomorph is back.

The sequel to one of the scariest games I’ve ever played has been officially unveiled with a brief teaser for Alien Isolation 2. It’s coming to the PS5, Xbox, PC, and even the Switch 2, though there’s no release date yet.

Cuphead returns.

Studio MDHR confirmed that it’s working on a follow-up to Cuphead, though it’s still early in development. Also in the works: an 8-bit platformer set in the same classic animation-inspired universe, which will even be released as Sega Master System cartridge, in addition to modern platforms.

No Highguard-esque ending today.

After the fiasco surrounding everything Highguard, Geoff Keighley promises that the last Summer Game Fest Live announcement today will be a “single player, narrative game.” The show starts at 5PM ET, so we won’t have to wait too much longer for the big reveal.

Minecraft Dungeons II could launch this September.

The Nintendo eShop listing for the game shows a September 29th release date and a price tag of $29.99, as shared by Wario64.

Perhaps this is a Summer Game Fest Live announcement that got pushed a little early; that event is set to kick off at 5PM ET. (We’ll be watching and covering the show, stay tuned!)

Paramount is making a unified games studio.

Paramount Games Studio puts all of Paramount and Skydance’s development teams under one brand. Weirdly, it will still be making two titles set in Disney universes: Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra and an untitled Star Wars game, Variety reports.

There will also be a new AAA title announced at Summer Game Fest Live later today.
