So I was going to write about each presser that happened at Summer Game Fest, but there was a lot. There’s been a lot of games announced and more press conferences popped up than originally announced, so I will give my highlights and what I’m excited for. There’s certainly a lot to be excited for even if I don’t mention it here.
First and foremost, two surprises coming to Game Pass on day 1, TMNT Shredder’s Revenge and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I was looking forward to the Ninja Turtles games coming this year and having this on Game Pass on day 1 means less money I need to spend. I will be playing that as the next game I stream after the Dead by Daylight event. As far as Texas Chainsaw Massacre is concerned, it looks fun, but without people to play with I wouldn’t be interested in playing it that much, with it being on Game Pass, there is a good possibility I will have people to play with.
Overwatch 2
Blizzard set an event on June 16th, so people expected more information on the game would be revealed then. I don’t think anyone expected Overwatch 2 to have a character reveal as well as a release date announcement at the Xbox Bethesda conference. It was a pleasant surprise. Then they announced that a new beta would be coming on June 28th. I loved the first beta and am definitely looking forward to playing more Overwatch 2. I’ll be playing the beta as well, which should be crossplay this time around.
A Plague Tale 2
This was already announced and we knew it was coming to Game Pass on day 1, but to see the trailer was amazing. The first game was incredible and I’m not really sure where this series is going, but I can’t wait to play it. This is another one of those games where if it wasn’t on Game Pass I would have never even touched it, but I am really glad I did.
High On Life
This game looks ridiculous. This game is from Squanch Games so it is ridiculous. I was laughing at the game play reveal as it has the same humor as Rick and Morty, but when it comes from the creator, that’s to be expected. The premise is humans are being used as drugs for an alien race and you have to stop them from making humanity go extinct just because of their nasty human habit. Honestly this game might just be a day one purchase for me.
Saints Row Boss Factory
So this isn’t so much a game as it is a pregame item. Basically you can create your boss in the new Saints Row before the game launches in August. I am thinking about playing this between games of Dead by Daylight during their anniversary event.
What are your highlights from Summer Game Fest? Let me know in the comments.
