🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformThe 7 biggest storylines from Summer Game Fest 2026
The 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest just wrapped up, and it was surprisingly hectic. The nearly week-long event came at a challenging time for the games industry, and for the most part the big keynotes were used as a chance to show some strength through major announcements, while largely ignoring pesky details like hardware &8230;

!Castlevania Belmont's Curse october release date reveal gameplay trailer(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/d6cf02bb/castlevania06.jpg.webp) Castlevania: Belmont's Curse(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/castlevania-belmonts-curse), the highly anticipated 2D action game from the teams behind Dead Cells(https://www.gameinformer.com/review/dead-cells/one-of-the-best-roguelikes-to-date), launches this October. More specifically, developers Evil Empire and Motion Twin, and publisher Konami, will release the next installment of Castlevania on October 15 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Set 23 years before Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, which launched on the NES way back in 1989, Belmont's Curse puts players in control of a new Belmont protagonist(https://www.gameinformer.com/state-of-play/2026/02/12/castlevania-belmonts-curse-made-by-konami-and-the-dead-cells-devs-launches), who takes up the holy Vampire Killer whip to destroy all manner of medieval and unholy creatures. Given it's a new 2D sidescrolling action game from the minds behind the excellent Dead Cells, it's unsurprising that today's new look at Belmont's Curse gameplay is an impressive one. Check it out in the Castlevania: Belmont's Curse release date trailer below: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse launches October 15, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

🎮 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Multi-platformSpyro: A Realm Beyond Is A Brand New Spyro Adventure
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/43a4d7d3/spyro.jpg.webp) Spyro: A Realm Beyond is not a remake of a previous Spyro game. Instead, it is a brand new adventure where the purple dragon is apparently stranded in "a realm beyond" and trying to find a way home while battling an invading force called the Scavs. The brief gameplay footage shown of the game, after a pre-rendered sequence, appears to show a strong emphasis on freeform flying. Spyro: A Realm Beyond releases Spring 2027 for Xbox (on Game Pass), PlayStation 5, PC, and Switch 2.

🎮 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Multi-platformNew Crazy Taxi Game Revealed Using That Classic Offspring Song
As part of the Xbox Games Showcase(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-game-showcase-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-so-far/), Sega officially unveiled Crazy Taxi: World Tour, a reboot of the classic arcade game. It will be coming to Xbox Series X/S, PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027. The brief gameplay teaser indicates that a lot of familiar elements from the original game will be returning, from a glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge that confirms San Francisco as a location, Axel, one of the series' original drivers, who is also seen driving a passenger with a spiky punk hairdo. It's also soundtracked to the The Offspring's 'All I Want', an iconic song that featured in the original game. But as the title, and a previous developer interview(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-crazy-taxi-game-takes-the-open-world-route-with-mmo-elements/1100-6524616/), hints, this new entry will also reportedly feature online multiplayer elements set in an open world. While that is not explicitly shown in the this teaser, it does however end with a new driver parking up next to Axel and connecting with him via smartphone. The Crazy Taxi series has been effectively on ice for years, but during its glory days in the early 2000s, it was one of the premier arcade "racers," if you can call it that. It was famous not just for its delivery-based gameplay and distinct art style, but also for its soundtrack, which featured tunes from punk-rock legends Bad Religion and The Offspring. A reboot of Crazy Taxi was first announced back at The Game Awards 2023 with a trailer from Sega that also indicated that reboots for its other classic, dormant IP was coming, including Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, and Golden Axe. Of the games announced in development, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is the only to have been released so far. Sega has however confirmed that these projects are still in development, despite the cancellation of its Super Game. Crazy Taxi: World Tour will be coming to Xbox Series X/S, PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027.

🎮 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Multi-platformWo Long Is Getting A Sequel With Wings Of Ember
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/42947dc1/wolong202.jpg.webp) Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember is the next game in the Dark Souls-inspired Three Kingdoms action game from Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja. The original Wo Long, Fallen Dynasty, released in 2023 and was a worthy entry(https://www.gameinformer.com/review/wo-long-fallen-dynasty/razor-sharp) in the canon of games inspired by From Software's work. Wars have been waged over the pursuit of the elixir of immortality, and you will apparently play a hero destined to "quell the chaos of this senseless cycle." The gameplay and visuals will look familiar to those who played the first game, but there is a new Phoenix ability whose mechanics are not yet totally clear. The game releases early 2027 on Xbox platforms., but also appears to be planned for PlayStation 5 and Switch 2. !Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/8c14442e/wolong201.jpg.webp)
🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformMagicians: The Devil’s Deal Looks Like BioShock With Stage Magic, Coming To Game Pass
A new game premiere at the Xbox Games Showcase(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-game-showcase-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-so-far/) gave us serious BioShock vibes, set against a world of Houdini-era magic. The first-person shooter swaps out chemicals for trick cards, and naturally, the devil is involved. Magicians: The Devil's Deal is coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox in 2027. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8b2Jd-2y54 The trailer also included a mention that it will come to Xbox Game Pass. Magicians: The Devil's Deal is coming from Uppercut Games, a studio composed of BioShock vets, so the similarities are no coincidence. And like the BioShock games, this is very grounded in a particular historical era, but turn-of-the-century magic definitely gives it its own flavor.
🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformValor Mortis Is Another Great-Looking Game Launching In September
!Valor Mortis September 24 Release Date First Person Soulslike(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/b0858e82/valor01.jpg.webp) Valor Mortis(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/valor-mortis) is a game I've kept an eye on since its reveal last year, and after playing a demo(https://www.gameinformer.com/hands-on-preview/2025/08/19/valor-mortis-is-a-first-person-soulslike-from-the-ghostrunner-devs-and), it's one of my most anticipated upcoming games. Fortunately, you and I won't have to wait much longer to play it, as it launches on September 24 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. This was revealed by way of a new narrative-focused trailer shown during today's Xbox Games Showcase, pulling back the decrepit layers on this unique first-person Soulslike from the studio behind the excellent Ghostrunner series. In it, you control William, a former soldier who rises from death and must confront the true cost of destiny, loyalty, and empire in this twisted alternate-history version of the Napoleonic Wars. Check it out in the Valor Mortis release date trailer below: "When the emperor commands, will you shrink from the opportunity or give everything for your country?" the game's description reads. "Wield supernatural powers, battle horrifying monsters, and unravel a conspiracy that threatens all of humanity forged in the shadow of Napoleon's ambition." Valor Mortis launches on September 24, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformState Of Decay 3 Is Coming To Xbox, PC, and PS5 in 2027: Check Out Its New Gameplay Reveal
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/fb42effe/stateofdecay03.jpg.webp) State of Decay, the open-world, zombie-hunting game from Undead Labs', has been quiet for a while, but today marked the game's grand return. The 2026 Xbox Games Showcase showed off our first real look at the sequel's gameplay, and revealed a 2027 release window. You can get a look at the co-op action in the new trailer below. The trailer shows scenic views of the game's rural environment before cutting to the flashy, explosive combat and co-op settlement creation. Players can drive vehicles through crowds of zombies, team up to take out grotesque nests, and hack and blast their way through undead hordes. We also got a look at plenty of unconventional zombie types, like large-bellied fire-breathers and huge, writhing nests. The game is dropping in 2027 on Xbox Series X/S, PC, and, perhaps a surprise to some, PlayStation 5.
