By Summer Game Fest came and went earlier this year, but with so many games announced, it might be tough to remember which ones you’re waiting for to come out. As we enter the fall, I figured we’d help out the anxious gamer; below is every game announced during the festivities of Summer Game Fest—dutifully written descriptions of them all in 50 words or less.
All of them.
Even most of the ones that got like a half-second shout out.
Why did I do it? Pure altruism, as well as a burning need to produce some sort of content or I’ll die. The games in question have been arranged in order of appearance during each program, though the programs themselves may be out of order.
Summer Game Fest
LEGO HORIZON ADVENTURES
(Trailer)
It’s HORIZON ZERO DAWN but cute and with Legos! Dress Aloy like a bee and enjoy the end of the world with a buddy. They literally have a song in the trailer called “Apocalyptic Dance Party” so this probably won’t get an extended miniseries on HBO.
Coming Holiday 2025 to PS5, Switch, Epic Games, and Steam
NO MORE ROOM IN HELL 2
(Trailer)
Was there a NO MORE ROOM IN HELL 1? Anyway spooky zombie adventures with up to eight people and permadeath if you get got by the zambies. Made by the developers of CHIVALRY 1 and 2 so there’s a lot of weapon swingin’ and body part squishin’. Gross!

CUFFBUST
(Trailer)
The dude who made CHOO-CHOO CHARLES made a weird little SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION game where cute little alien dudes bust out of jail. Adorably bust out of jail, adorably beat up prison guards, adorably betray your friends, and adorably smoke fat spliffaroonies on the beach? Prison! It’s cute!

Available now on PS5, Steam, Epic, and WeGame
ASGARD’S WRATH 2
(Trailer)
VR, puzzle-y game. The title says Asgard but you’re definitely in ancient Egypt, so it might be a God of War Greece-to-Norway-type switcheroo. Meta made it so it comes free when you buy their new VR headset.
Out now for Meta Quest 3
ONCE HUMAN
(Trailer)
Co-op survival shooter in a world where a surreal corruption made everything all goofy. Monsters made from bodies of monsters, black goop, zombies, and a plane that flaps like a bird. You see those creatures? They too were ONCE HUMAN.

(Trailer)
Turn on the lights, it’s looking a little Grimdark in here! Be a space marine from the Warhammer 40k universe and blow up a bunch of insect-like Tyranids. Join with your buddies for co-op or be one of the bad space marines and kill other space marines. I don’t play!

METAPHOR: REFANTAZIO
(Trailer)
It’s a Persona game in a high fantasy setting. In a mixture of 3D gameplay and 2D cutscenes, make friends, awaken their not-personas (we’re calling them archetypes now!), and fight high fantasy evil. You’ll argue over who’s the best waifu and you know what? That’s okay.

BATMAN: ARKHAM SHADOW
(Trailer)
It’s another Arkham game but it’s exclusively for the Meta Quest 3. The Rat King is leading a proletariat revolution and Batman as an arm of the State has to stomp it out while a Smashing Pumpkins cover song (you can guess which) plays in the background.

STREET FIGHTER 6: FATAL FURY
(Trailer)
Not a new game, but a few Fatal Fury characters are coming to STREET FIGHTER 6! That probably means a lot to fighting game fans, so enjoy that. Also M. Bison is coming back and he looks like he’s been living out of his car for a few months.
Coming in Year 2 of DLC for STREET FIGHTER 6
TEARS OF METAL
(Trailer)
What if BRAVEHEART was a co-op roguelike that also played like Dynasty Warriors? What if it was also highly stylized and had a visceral animation style that was also weirdly cute, and switched from 3D to 2D between battles? That’s TEARS OF METAL, baby.
Coming to Steam

MIGHTY MORPHIN’ POWER RANGERS: RITA’S REWIND

(Trailer)
The ultra-realistic medieval narrative sim is back to delight your friend who knows a little more about the Austro-Hungarian empire’s military than you’re comfortable with.

Coming 2024 to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC
SLITTERHEAD
(Trailer)
A cryptic body horror beat ’em up from the creator of Silent Hill, SLITTERHEAD looks gross as hell. A Tokyo cop, a runaway, and a stranger in a motorcycle helmet and trench coat fight gross body horror monsters. You ever hear of TOKYO GORE POLICE? Don’t look it up.
Coming November 8th, 2024 to Xbox Series X|S, PS4 and PS5, Steam, and Epic Games
KILLER BEAN
(Trailer)
You might’ve seen these cult coffee bean shorts on the internet in the early 2000s, but now it’s a full-fledged roguelike with crazy Max Payne gunfights and ridiculous physics. Killer Bean slam-dunks a grenade into a group of bad guys in the trailer. There’s not much else to say.
Early access in 2024
CAIRN
(Trailer)
French mountain-climbing game that looks like it’s got almost QWOP-like controls. Our heroine seeks to climb a Nepalese-looking series of mountains, and screams a lot while doing it. The game is also named after those hippie rock towers park rangers don’t want you to make.
WANDERSTOP
(Trailer)
A cozy little game where you play as a former fighter who now helps to run a tea shop, doing chores and serving tea to adventurers. Sounds simple enough, but this is an Annapurna game made by the creator of THE STANLEY PARABLE, so it’s probably a metaphor for trauma.

(Trailer)
A stylish, futuristic looter-shooter with a Warframe-y vibe. Operators are equipped with exo-suits that provide specific abilities such as shields, stealth, speed, and special weaponry. Everyone gets a grappling hook, though, and tons o’ guns for the obsessive firearm collector within all of us.
Available now on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Steam
SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS
(Trailer)
Woe betide the ignorant researcher who types “SonicXShadow” into Google search without specifying the “generations” aspect. It’s Sonic Generations but now there’s some classic levels starring Shadow the Hedgehog. Gotta go fast, gotta be edgy. You know how it goes.
Coming October 25th to PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, Steam, and Epic Games
DUNE: AWAKENING
(Trailer)
We’ve had news about this survival MMO for a bit now, but at Summer Game Fest we learned that it takes place in a possible future where Timothée Chalamet’s character from the Dune movies (Paul Atreides, if you’re a nerd) was a girl. Seems sexist, but that’s Dune, baby.

NEW WORLD: AETERNUM
(Trailer)
New expansion for Amazon Gaming’s MMO New World. If you’ve been playing NEW WORLD you probably know what’s coming, but I haven’t and they didn’t really explain anything in the trailer. All I caught was the “Where Is My Mind” cover if I’m being honest.
Coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on October 15th
HONKAI: STAR RAIL
(Trailer)
Looks like there’s a new chapter for HONKAI: STAR RAIL. There’s talks of dream worlds, awakenings, and a character gets a new outfit. I couldn’t tell you what the base game is about but the more we say “Honkai: Star Rail” our SEO shoots through the damn roof.
