Summer Game Fest 2026 has concluded after delivering some of the biggest announcements in recent years. PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo all held their own showcases, each packed with new games or deeper looks at previously announced titles.
Final Fantasy VII Revelation
The grand finale closed out the main show with a bang. Square Enix officially revealed Part 3 of the remake trilogy, confirming a Spring 2027 release date. It will launch day-and-date across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and the Nintendo Switch 2. Matt Mercer took the stage to introduce gameplay featuring Vincent Valentine and Cid Highwind piloting the Highwind airship.
Resident Evil: Veronica
Capcom officially announced a full remake of the 2000 classic Code: Veronica. Coming in 2027, it is being handled by the critically acclaimed RE2 and RE4 remake teams. While the moody cinematic trailer teased a first-person perspective, Capcom confirmed the final game will be a modernised third-person experience.
