June is fast approaching and if you’re a gamer, you know what that means, game showcases galore! A Sony State of Play, an XBOX showcase with a Gears of War E-Day right after, Day of the Devs, and Summer Game Fest opening night. As we get closer to June, more are sure to be announced. Usually there’s at least a cozy game and PC Game Show events as well. Will we see more of Grand Theft Auto 6? Will a Marcus Fenix Collection get announced? It is just a matter of time before we know for sure.
Sony State of Play
I’m sure to see a lot more of Wolverine at the State of Play. Insomniac Games’ next game releases September 15 exclusively on Playstation. It’s also possible that we see the next entry in the God of War series, rumored to be focused on Faye. A remake of the first trilogy was announced, so we might get some more news on that as well. I would love to see more story for the God of War series. One thing that is possible in their hour-long showcase is a first look at the Playstation 6. Next gen gaming is set to begin in 2027 with XBOX launching Project Helix. They already announced it earlier this year which could have Sony showing off their next generation plans sooner than expected. If we see Grand Theft Auto, it will probably be at the Sony State of Play.
Summer Game Fest
The thing with Summer Game Fest’s Opening Night is that anything for any console can be announced. One year they showed off Lego Horizon that would be on Playstation and Nintendo Switch. Xbox announced Indiana Jones for Playstation at a Summer Game Fest as well. Nicolas Cage came out and announced he was going to be in Dead by Daylight. Anything can happen at any point during the showcase. Sony’s State of Play is before the show and Xbox’s after. Most announcements will be third party. Personally I’d love it if Ubisoft announced a new Watch Dogs game. Titanfall 3 would also be great to see. Both are long shots, I’m sure.
XBOX Games Showcase
I already talked about what I want to see from XBOX, but the list is never finished. Neither with XBOX or any franchise I love. There is no shortage of dormant franchises, unfinished stories, and long-overdue announcements sitting, just waiting to be announced or shown off. A new version of the Elite Controller or other hardware coming soon would be really nice to see as well.
June is often described as Christmas for gamers. So far this year we’ve been eating well when it comes to gaming and we still have Wolverine, Fable, and of course Grand Theft Auto 6. It is going to be a fun few months.
