What to expect from Summer Game Fest 2024 and Xbox Games Showcase 2024

Otherwise, I think it’s a good idea to keep video game expectations low this year. After all, it’s been a rather rough time in the gaming industry, full of dev layoffs and economic struggles. Not to mention, Summer Game Fest and The Game Awards host/founder, Geoff Keighley, has already warned people not to expect a “one more thing” reveal this year (thanksVG247). For those who need a refresher, historically, the most highly anticipated game trailer or an exciting new game announcement has been reserved until the very end as a way to end the showcase on a high note and this is what’s meant by a “one more thing” reveal.
We’ve also be told not to expect Kingdom Hearts 4, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, The Wolf Among Us 2, Judas, or any Five Nights at Freddy’s titles at this year’s Summer Game Fest. (thanksRock, Paper, Shotgun). However, we are obviously getting Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 info during this video game weekend. It’s very possible that we could also see Star Wars Outlaws, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Avowed, Fable 4, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Monster Hunter Wilds.
