Otherwise, I think it's a good idea to keep video game expectations low this year. After all, it's been a rather rough time in the gaming industry, full of dev layoffs and economic struggles. Not to mention, Summer Game Fest and The Game Awards host/founder, Geoff Keighley, has already warned people not to expect a "one more thing" reveal this year (thanks VG247). For those who need a refresher, historically, the most highly anticipated game trailer or an exciting new game announcement has been reserved until the very end as a way to end the showcase on a high note and this is what's meant by a "one more thing" reveal.
We've also be told not to expect Kingdom Hearts 4, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, The Wolf Among Us 2, Judas, or any Five Nights at Freddy's titles at this year's Summer Game Fest. (thanks Rock, Paper, Shotgun). However, we are obviously getting Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 info during this video game weekend. It's very possible that we could also see Star Wars Outlaws, Assassin's Creed Shadows, Avowed, Fable 4, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Monster Hunter Wilds.
You can also check out our list of upcoming Xbox games and upcoming PC games to get a fuller idea for what might be shown during these live streams.
