🎮 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.

🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformNew Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Trailer Shows Off DMZ Extraction Shooter Mode
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/e94acaed/cod05.jpg.webp) Call of Duty is one of the leading names in first-person shooters, but with so many competitors over the years, even it has to adapt to stay relevant. DMZ is its most recent answer to that, bringing the trendy extraction shooter gameplay popularized by Escape from Tarkov, Arc Raiders, and Marathon to Activision-Blizzard's most profitable franchise. Today's Xbox Games Showcase gave us the first look at gameplay since the mode's beta experience, and you can look for yourself below. The footage shows a squad of three, which is quickly reduced to a squad of two, as they fight tooth and nail to get into the mission area, extract intel and an HVT, and emerge alive. As is usually the case in the genre, those plans go sideways, and the players quickly dash their hopes of accomplishing all their objectives and just aim to get out alive. Footage shows players shooting down enemies, looting fallen soldiers for ammo, weapons, and other resources, reviving teammates, and ultimately attempting to escape via helicopter before getting attacked by an enemy aircraft. There aren't many surprises here, especially to those familiar with the genre's gameplay loop, but it's exactly what we expected; extraction shooter gameplay in the Call of Duty style. You'll be able to try it yourself when Modern Warfare 4 drops on October 23 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC.

🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformClockwork Revolution Coming In 2027 As Xbox Console Exclusive
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/0de4b12b/clockwork05.jpg.webp) The team at inXile has been hard at work on Clockwork Revolution, but every new showing is increasingly impressive. Today’s presentation showed off some of the major cast members that will be joining in on the adventure, but also highlighted the way the game will feature time travel as a core mechanic, letting the player go back to the city 25 years earlier in 1867, and then letting you manipulate how things will be in the present. The moment-to-moment gameplay looks to follow in the spirit of games like BioShock and Dishonored, encouraging players to use a variety of tools, paths, and strategies to navigate large open environments, bring down foes, and (frequently) dispose of threats in amusing ways. Today, we learned the game is now targeting a 2027 release date, and it is one of a couple of big games from Xbox that will be Xbox console exclusives when they launch.
