LIVE: Summer Game Fest and Xbox Games Showcase news as it happens

People are sharing their crazy hopes and dreams for the Xbox showcase

Since we can’t (yet) have comments enabled on live blogs, I took to Twitter / X to ask users what they want to see from the big Xbox Showcase, scheduled for this Sunday.

In my wildest hopes and dreams, I’d love to see some Blizzard presence at the show, perhaps with StarCraft 3 or a Warcraft single player spin off. I doubt that will happen given Blizzcon is next year … but I don’t fancy waiting by. I’d also kill to get a Wasteland 4 or Gears Tactics 2. I’m on a bit of a turn-based kick at the moment (thanks Clair Obscur and WH40K: Rogue Trader for that).

Here are some of the other wild hopes from the Twitter faithful.

A glimpse of The Witcher 4 at State of Unreal 2025

During State of Unreal 2025, CD Projekt RED showed up with an impressive technical demonstration for The Witcher 4. This Unreal Engine 5 demo showed how the team is using motion-matching, Nanite Foliage, and more.

As a result, the team claims this tech demo is running at 60 FPS with ray tracing on a standard PlayStation 5. This demo also confirmed a couple of other interesting details. First, Ciri has a horse named Kelpie, and this steed serves her much the same as Roach served Geralt. Secondly, at least part of the game takes place in Kovir, one of the Northern Kingdoms that wasn’t seen in the prior games.

The Witcher 4 may be a ways off, but it’s interesting to see how it’s all coming together. — Samuel Tolbert, Gaming Contributor

PlayStation joins in with a June State of Play

Not to be left out, Sony’s PlayStation is joining in the summer gaming fun with a State of Play presentation on Wednesday, June 4 at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET. It’ll be streamed on Twitch and YouTube. This show will run for around 40 minutes and is packed with “must-play” games.

Personally, I’m hoping to see the next Resident Evil game announced here. It’s been long enough — the Resident Evil 4 remake and its Separate Ways story DLC both launched in 2023 — and I’m extremely curious how Capcom plans to continue the long-running survival-horror franchise. — Samuel Tolbert, Gaming Contributor

What about some Hollow Knight: Silksong?

One big game people are hoping to see at SGF or the Xbox Showcase is Hollow Knight: Silksong.

The follow up to the dark and seminal metroidvania-meets-soulslike has long been in development, with updates on the game being relatively few and far between. Fans of the franchise (myself included) clamor for even the vaguest hints that the game could be nearing completion, and we just got some of that this morning.

Silkson’g app packages on Steam recently got a flurry of updates, with one grabbing its first update in over a year. Could the game be gearing up for prime time? We can only hope.

Will Elder Scrolls 6 be at the Xbox Showcase?! – YouTube

Watch On

Could we see Elder Scrolls 6 at the Xbox Showcase this year? During last week’s XB2 Podcast with YouTuber Rand_Al_Thor_19 and myself, we both came to the conclusion that, perhaps next week would be a good time to give another taste at The Elder Scrolls 6.

With Oblivion Remastered driving a resurgence of interest in the franchise, what better way to cap off the hype with a glimpse at what’s coming next? It has been 7 years since the original Elder Scrolls 6 teaser, between which Bethesda’s core team launched Starfield.

Perhaps it’s too early, but … what if it isn’t? I’m daring to dream.

What we expect from the Xbox Games Showcase 2025

The Xbox Games Showcase takes place on Sunday, June 8 at 10:00am PT / 1:00 pm ET and will likely be the place that we get the most exciting Xbox news this weekend.

Our own Jez Corden has previously written an article on what he expects to see at the Xbox Games Showcase 2025. He conjectures on everything from Everwild to State of Decay 3 and even discusses the potential for new Xbox hardware. So, if you’d like to read more on all of that, check out his article. — Rebecca Spear, Gaming Editor

The long awaited 007 game is apparently getting revealed this week

As this week continues, we’re bound to see some exciting teasers and potentially even some leaks before the official showcases begin. To start that all off, it seems 007 First Light is getting revealed “this week,” most likely at Summer Game Fest 2025. I’m super excited to learn more about it. — Rebecca Spear, Gaming Editor
