A recap of all the foremost reveals at Summer season Recreation Fest 2023
‘Talking of Remaining Fantasy…’
The “Summer season of Gaming,” aka “not-E3” kicked off at 3PM ET on June 8, 2023, and our previous pal Geoff Keighley was out there for extra hard-hitting recreation trailer reveals and lighthearted DoorDash advert reads. Critically, good restoration on that one!
So what did we get this yr? A good chunk of AAA and indie reveals throughout a big spectrum of genres, and a giant Remaining Fantasy end. Naturally, as it’s susceptible to do, Remaining Fantasy (or extra particularly, Remaining Fantasy 7) stole the present with a “another factor” and gave us a smoldering Sephiroth shot, in addition to affirmation that Remaining Fantasy 7 Rebirth is out in 2024 on two discs. I can’t wait to see the ultimate set up measurement.
Lies of P continues to look mysteriously attractive, there have been a couple of crossover/cameo reveals (together with a phase the place Nic Cage stated he wished to “fuse” with the participant dwell on stage), and we obtained some transient data on Spider-Man 2, in addition to an October 20 launch date. You possibly can learn all the main headlines under.
To E3 or to not E3?
I’ve stated it earlier than, however I miss the previous E3 format fairly a bit. The ESA had a lot of room for enchancment (and in lots of circumstances, didn’t adapt even with vibrant signposts at each flip), however correct E3 occasions simply felt greater. That downward spiral was inevitable given the fashionable focus of individually curated bite-sized streams, but it surely was accelerated by the efficient demise of the ESA’s better affect on the trade.
Nonetheless, we obtained a couple of cool reveals and extra Remaining Fantasy 7 at The Recreation Awards this yr. It’s sufficient.
