Summer Game Fest 2024 reveals: Alan Wake 2 DLC, Palwold update, and Phantom Blade gameplay reveal Summer Game FestSummer Game Fest Live 2024 was packed with trailers for big titles, including the reveal of Alan Wake 2\u2019s Night Springs DLC, the Sakurajima update for Palworld, and the first-ever gameplay reveal of the incredible-looking Phantom Blade. Each year, Summer Game Fest puts on a big show, but in 2024, the focus was more on pre-existing titles or games that had already been revealed. This is why most of the biggest stories involved updates to titles that already have huge audiences. Without further ado, here are all of the most exciting reveals made during Summer Game Fest Live 2024, including games that are launching very soon. LEGO Horizon Adventures \u2013 Holiday 2024 The show started with a familiar face in a new form: Aloy from the Horizon series, shown in a Lego body. The dark atmosphere of her mainline series is gone, as she\u2019s now on a kid-friendly adventure to destroy robots and rebuild civilization. This time, she won\u2019t be alone, as Lego Horizon Adventures is designed with two-player co-op in mind, so you can reconstruct the world with a friend out of Lego. Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions \u2013 September 3, 2024 It\u2019s been a long time since there has been a dedicated Harry Potter game focusing on Quidditch, but 2024 is returning to the game of chasing the Golden Snitch and pretty much winning straight away. We didn\u2019t see much gameplay footage, but Harry Potter fans will still be excited to take to the pitch again, both in Hogwarts and the world stage, when the game launches on September 3. PlayStation Plus subscribers will also have access on day one. Star Wars Outlaws \u2013 30 August A teaser for a teaser this time, as a brief glimpse of Star Wars Outlaws appeared during the event, showing off the open-world Star Wars game, as the player battled Stormtroopers, flew around on jet bikes, and encountered familiar aliens, as you live the life of a scoundrel on the dark side of the law. More info will be shown at Ubisoft Forward event on June 10. Black Myth: Wukong \u2013 August 20 One of the most highly-anticipated games of 2024, Black Myth: Wukong is an incredible-looking Soulslike based on Journey to the West, with the player taking on the role Sun Wukong. The game\u2019s August 20 release date was already known, but the various DLC and merchandie available in the Deluxe Edition and Collector\u2019s Edition were revealed in the trailer, as well as the game\u2019s many fancy pre-order bonuses. Civilization VII \u2013 2025 A fully CG trailer for Civilization VII, but it doesn\u2019t matter too much, as people know what to expect from this addictive turn-based strategy game, where you build nations up from cavemen and win through combined peace or nuclear destruction. We do know that the game is being made by Sid Meier and Firaxis Games\/2k Games, that it\u2019s coming to PC and consoles, and that there will be a full gameplay showcase in August. Once Human \u2013 July 9 The highly-anticipated survival\/shooter\/MMO in a post-apocalyptic wasteland finally has a release date, with players able to retake the world from the eldritch Deviants on July 9. This game has been climbing the Steam charts, and it won\u2019t be long until fans will see if it can take the empty throne left by the pretender, The Day Before. Batman: Arkham Shadow World \u2013 Fall 2024 Batman returns to the world of VR, where he\u2019s taking on a new foe called the Rat King, who has the power to control rats. The Rat King sounds like he\u2019s asking to be punched in the face by the Dark Knight, but unfortunately, we didn\u2019t get any gameplay footage. Fans will have to wait until Gamescom for that. Street Fighter 6 New Characters The next DLC characters for Street Fighter 6 have been revealed. These include Terry Bogard and Mai from the Fatal Fury\/Art of Fighting\/King of Fighters series, as well as returning Street Fighter characters Elena and M. Bison. No release date except that it\u2019s launch in 2024. Slitterhead \u2013 November 8 It\u2019s a shame this trailer leaked early, as it was one of the show\u2019s highlights. This horror game from the minds behind the original Silent Hill and Gravity Rush lets you possess random citizens as you tackle monstrous eldritch horrors using every weapon at your disposal. We still don\u2019t know the story, but do you need one when the gameplay looks this awesome? The First Descendant \u2013 July 2 The First Descendant certainly had an impressive trailer, with its mixture of sci-fi and supernatural heroes tackling massive bosses, as well as showing off the 4-player co-op and unique heroes to play with. What\u2019s even more impressive is the release date, as fans can jump into The First Descendant\u2019s impressive world on July 2. Sonic X Shadow Generations \u2013 October 25 Shadow is back! It might have taken a major motion picture to do it, but Shadow is back! Play through classic stages as either classic or modern Sonic, or not: play Shadow. He\u2019s got a gun (sometimes), and he\u2019s awesome. Summer Game Fest revealed that Sonic X Shadow Generations is launching on October 24, and you can pre-order for Sonic Adventure skin. Dune Awakening Still no gameplay footage on this one, but the CG trailer will delight fans of the franchise. This self-proclaimed \u201cOpen World Survival MMO\u201d will feature what-if storylines from the Dune universe, including a world where Paul Atreides didn\u2019t exist. More information will be revealed at Gamescom. The Finals Season 3 \u2013 June 13 Season 3 of The Finals was detailed during Summer Game Fest, including the new content: A new Japan-inspired arena called Kyoto 1568, a new Ranked Mode called Terminal Attack, new loadouts that include weapons and gadgets, and Weekly Tournaments. Season 3 begins on June 13. Alan Wake 2 Night Springs DLC \u2013 June 8 One of the biggest reveals of Summer Game Fest 2024 is that the Alan Wake 2 DLC, Night Springs, is out today. These are spread across three chapters that feature what-if scenarios, including Jesse from Control, a waitress who resembles Rose, and a character called \u201cThe Actor\u201d who takes on different roles. A second expansion called The Lake House will also be released in the future. Skate \u2013 Fall 2024 Despite a boring live-action trailer segment that went on for far too long, the Skate trailer impressed by virtue of actually narrowing down a release window. The long-awaited realistic skating sim is coming back in Fall 2024 and the trailer showed off some of the creative options players will have for tailoring their riding experience. Palworld Sakurajima Update \u2013 June 27 It\u2019s almost time to return to the Pals, as the first major update for Palworld is coming on June 27. It includes a new Japan-themed island, new Pals based on things like samurai and Yokai, dedicated servers for Xbox players, new buildings, a new level cap, new subspecies of Pals, a new Raid boss, an Oil Rig Stronghold, an Arena, and a new faction\/boss that might get the developers of Pokemon Moon to call their lawyer. Valorant on PS5 & Xbox Series X\/S \u2013 2024 The popular team-based shooter will launch on consoles in 2024, coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X\/S with a free Limited Beta on June 14. The trailer also showcased the game\u2019s competitive scene, inviting console players to join the fun. Phantom Blade Zero \u2013 2025 The show closed with a gameplay reveal for Phantom Blade Zero. This incredible-looking action game seems to merge the best of Sekiro and Bloodborne\u2019s gameplay with a suitably grim world, as well as all kinds of impressive weapons and techniques to unleash against your demonic foes. While the game isn\u2019t out until next year, there will be hands-on demos at different events throughout 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
