Summer Game Fest 2023 is just around the corner, bringing with it a highly anticipated gaming event hosted by Geoff Keighley. This year, the event holds even more significance as E3 has been canceled, prompting gaming companies to potentially showcase their latest projects at Summer Game Fest instead. As a result, we can expect exciting and significant news to emerge from the event.
The event’s stage was set ablaze as numerous highly-anticipated games and franchises took the spotlight. One of the standout moments was the unveiling of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s open world, offering players a breathtaking glimpse into the sprawling landscapes and immersive environments they can expect to explore. The reveal left fans in awe and heightened the already sky-high anticipation for this beloved franchise’s latest installment.
In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, players will embark on an epic journey through the game’s vast world map, revisiting iconic locations from the original release, including Kalm, Junon, and Cosmo Canyon. Although Square Enix is withholding an exact release date for the highly anticipated title, they have provided a more specific timeframe. Fans can anticipate Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth to grace the PlayStation 5 console in early 2024.
During the event, we gained more insight into the expansive open world of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, learned the release date for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and were treated to sneak peeks of upcoming Prince of Persia and Sonic titles, among many other games. Additionally, we witnessed Mortal Kombat’s innovative new mechanic, the Kameo system, and were thrilled by the announcement of spine-chilling games such as Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, Alan Wake II, and Lies of P. Notably, it’s worth mentioning that this year’s show proceeded without any arrests, indicating a successful and well-executed event.
Devolver Digital’s showcase included shadow-dropping a demo for SLUDGE LIFE 2, along with a demo for Wizard with a Gun, both of which are now available on Steam. We also saw Baby Steps, a literal walking simulator.
One notable aspect of Summer Game Fest 2023 was the absence of any arrests or major disruptions, highlighting the seamless execution and smooth flow of the event. This achievement is a testament to the organizers’ meticulous planning and commitment to providing an enjoyable and safe environment for all participants and attendees.
Summer Game Fest 2023 has once again demonstrated its position as a premier gaming event, captivating audiences with its unparalleled showcase of upcoming games and innovative advancements.
