🎮 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;

🎮 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.

!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.

Crazy Taxi: World Tour comes by way of Sega, and will task players with taking on extreme (timed) missions around the world while earning crazy amounts of money...but only if you get your passengers to where they need to go in time.

!Persona 4 Revival Sega Atlus February 18 Release Date(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/8c5bc4eb/persona05.jpg.webp) We first learned that the long-rumored Persona 4 remake from publisher Sega and developer Atlus was indeed real, and it is called Persona 4: Revival(https://www.gameinformer.com/xbox-games-showcase/2025/06/08/the-persona-4-remake-is-real-and-its-called-revival), during last year's Xbox Games Showcase in June. We got a very early look at the game then, so it's surprising that this remake is launching in February. More specifically, Persona 4 Revival hits PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on February 18. We learned of this release date by way of the remake's first gameplay trailer that debuted during today's Xbox Games Showcase, giving us a look at our protagonist and his party fighting all manner of enemies in the world of the Midnight Channel.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformHere's The Release Date For Halo: Campaign Evolved (And Some Footage Of Its New Prequel Missions)
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/07c69195/halo01.jpg.webp) Halo: Campaign Evolved is a new, visually improved retelling of the events of the original Halo game, released way back in 2001. Today, we learned it's right around the corner, and got a look at the new content Halo Studios is planning to incorporate. The game is set to launch on Xbox Series X/S, PC, and for the first time ever, PlayStation 5, on July 28. The trailer also showed footage of some prequel missions, known as Operation : METEORITE. It's a three-mission story arc set one year before Halo: Combat Evolved takes place, and follows Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson as they strike a Covenant research vessel. A post on Xbox Wire goes into more detail, reading, "While Halo: Campaign Evolved faithfully remakes the original Halo: Combat Evolved campaign, Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history." This implies that we might get weapons like the battle rifle, which was introduced in Halo 2, in this remake of the first game. The game is also available to pre-order now, The base game is $49.99 / £49.99 / €59.99, while the premium edition will cost you $69.99 / £69.99 / €79.99, adding on cosmetics, a digital story & art collection, and five days of early access. In other words, you'll be able to play the premium edition starting July 23. !Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/cb7271f5/06meteoritepremium-edition-90c15466b12ad861b1dc.jpg.webp)(https://gameinformer.com/href) Click to enlarge For more Halo, check out our review of Halo: Infinite(https://gameinformer.com/review/halo-infinite/a-return-to-form-and-something-new), which was our game of the year back in 2021.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformState Of Decay 3 Finally Resurfaces With New Trailer, And It’s Coming To PS5
State of Decay 3(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/state-of-decay-3-release-date-trailer-news/1100-6526793/) has resurfaced at the Xbox Games Showcase(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-game-showcase-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-so-far/) with a new trailer, a release window, and confirmation of a PlayStation 5 edition. State of Decay 3 will release in 2027 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. "In State of Decay 3 you’ll construct settlements, maintain a community of survivors, and battle back against an encroaching zombie threat--with support for solo play or shared world co-op for up to four players--all within a massive open world survival sandbox," reads a line from the game's description. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoLOzgHvKxQ State of Decay 3 is already playable via an alpha version, and the developer said people are "having a blast" with it thus far. The alpha test will be expanded to more people, and then there will be a beta for even more people to try. You can sign up for the State of Decay 3 tests on the game's website(https://www.stateofdecay.com/state-of-decay-3-playtest-in-this-together/). Undead Labs also confirmed that everything in the new trailer was captured in game. "We did not use CGI," the developer said. "We’re just scratching the surface of what this game is offering for players. It’s a very heavy moment-to-moment combat-oriented trailer but we also give you a sneak peek into one of the settlements. In the trailer, you can see one of the many settlements you can claim, including some of the facility and community elements. We plan to show more of that as we go on," the developer said. Undead Labs also discussed a new feature for State of Decay 3--Plague Nests. These are the "next evolution" of Plague Hearts from State of Decay 2. "Think of it as an enemy with its own plans. We spent a lot of time thinking through what it does, how it works, and how it reacts to what actions the players take. These are dynamic sources or hubs of enemy encounters that players can go in and destroy, even if only for a little while," the studio explained. Additionally, Undead Labs confirmed that State of Decay 3's map is "much larger" than the playable space in State of Decay 2. Specifically, the State of Decay 3 map is "about four times the size of a single State of Decay 2 map," and the map is "fully open." State of Decay 3 has a "shared world," which Undead Labs said was "another huge investment" for the game. "In a shared world, any one of us can make changes to the world. You can come in, asynchronously of me, playing the same save at different times. You can move the story forward, you could build facilities, you can get a second or even third settlement--players can now have up to three bases that they can then grow and expand into over time," the developer said. Head to the Xbox Wire(https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/06/07/state-of-decay-3-first-gameplay-reveal-xbox-games-showcase-2026/) to read even more about what to expect in State of Decay 3.

!Resonance A Plague Tale Legacy Gameplay Release Date Reveal Trailer(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/e3ef4032/resonance02.jpg.webp) Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/resonance-a-plague-tale-legacy) is a prequel to A Plague Tale: Requiem and it stars the former buccaneer, Sophia. Courtesy of a new gameplay trailer during today's Xbox Games Showcase, we now know it launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on August 27. We first learned about Resonance during last year's Xbox Games Showcase(https://www.gameinformer.com/xbox-games-showcase/2025/06/08/resonance-a-plague-tale-legacy-is-a-spinoff-starring-requiems-sophia), and it was nice to see it again this year, this time with a look at the more action-oriented gameplay. While it still retains some of the third-person DNA from the first two Plague Tale games, Sophia is decidedly more adept in combat, using swords to slay enemies and her wits to solve puzzles and more. It continues to look like a great time.
