If PlayStation’s State of Play left you wanting more, SGF 2025 has you covered with multiplatform action to heat up the summer gaming season even further. Grab your popcorn, and let’s dive in!
The Biggest Reveals & Updates
Capcom is back with another terrifying entry in the Resident Evil franchise. Requiem promises a cinematic high-stakes experience, shifting the series in a bold new direction. While familiar faces remain, the game introduces new characters to expand the lore. Expect intense survival horror, next-gen visuals, and fresh gameplay mechanics when it launches on February 27, 2026. I love it... because the world of Resident Evil is bigger than the same set of characters, so why not explore it even further? Technically, there is still a character tie in (Leon S. Kennedy may also play a major role in the game), but... as for the main character seen in the trailer, she's an Ashcroft. If you're scratching your head, let me clarify. The main character is Grace Ashcroft, the daughter of Alyssa Ashcrosft from Resident Evil Outbreak.
The legendary samurai action series returns, and it looks stunning. Way of the Sword brings back the brutal combat fans love, with enhanced swordplay mechanics and a gripping narrative. If you’ve been craving a true samurai experience, this one’s for you.
Sega is revving up the competition with Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, a multiplatform kart racer featuring full crossplay support. The game boasts guest racers like Minecraft’s Steve, Persona 5’s Joker, and Hatsune Miku, adding wild variety to the roster. With fast-paced action, dynamic tracks, and competitive multiplayer, this could be Sega’s biggest shot at reclaiming the kart-racing throne.
Bandai Namco heard the fans loud and clear—Code Vein 2 is officially happening! The anime-inspired soulslike returns with expanded combat mechanics, deeper RPG elements, and a darker, more immersive world. Expect new weapons, enhanced co-op, and a gripping story when it launches in 2026.
Techland is taking Dying Light to the next level with The Beast, a standalone horror survival experience. Kyle Crane is back, and this time, the stakes are higher than ever. Expect brutal parkour combat, terrifying new enemies, and a gripping narrative when it drops on August 22, 2025.
Ever wanted to step into Deadpool’s shoes? Now you can! Marvel’s Deadpool VR promises chaotic action, fourth-wall-breaking humor, and immersive combat in a fully interactive VR experience. Whether you’re slicing enemies or cracking jokes, this game is shaping up to be one of the most unique Marvel titles yet.
The Soulslike genre continues to thrive, and Mortal Shell 2 is bringing gritty, unforgiving combat to the forefront. With expanded weapon customization, free exploration, and a haunting world, this sequel is bigger, darker, and more intense than ever. 2026 can’t come soon enough.

- Chronicles: Medieval – A large-scale RTS featuring knights, burning villages, and epic battles, narrated by Tom Hardy. Speaking of Chronicles: Medieval, avoid going to chroniclesmedieval.com at this time because it forwards to a questionable site that will have you backtracking in hopes that your system didn't pick up a virus. We've reached out to the RPG team to give them the heads up. We don't believe it's their website, but a heads up doesn't hurt.
