It should be a good summer for gaming. Not only do we have upcoming games showcases, Gamescom, and game releases, but we have a console release as well. June 5th will see the release of the Nintendo Switch 2. That is one day before Summer Game Fest kick off. We could be seeing the Switch 2 logo show up alongside Playstation and Xbox more than we’ve ever had before.
Dying Light: The Beast, Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, and more are scheduled to be released over the summer. Some may even be shadowdropped during the showcases. Not to mention in game events and DLCs. Summer 2025 will definitely be big for gaming.
For the showcases, while we said goodbye to E3 a few years ago, Summer Game Fest stepped up and has managed to keep the showcases together. Below are a list of the summer showcases. This list is subject to change and might be updated when more information releases.
