Summer Game Fest 2025 Predicted Game Announcements
Final Fantasy
Many fans believe that with the recent success of the Final Fantasy franchise, that we’re likely to see the reveal of the third part of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series. Almost three years ago to the day, developers actively revealed Rebirth, the second game in the series. With the core of the game intact since Rebirth, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the finale of this behemoth of a franchise revealed along with a release date.
Pivoting away from the remakes, Square Enix have an opportunity to shock the gaming industry with a teaser for Final Fantasy 17. While there has not been evidence to suggest this game is even in development, the thought of a new installment to the franchise excites fans of the series.
Kingdom Hearts 4
Square Enix may not only reveal information about the Final Fantasy franchise. Kingdom Hearts 4 has been in development for years and Summer Game Fest may be a great opportunity to reveal the release date. Originally announced in April of 2022, longtime fans of the series have been patiently waiting for more details about this blockbuster release.
Resident Evil
Speculation is abundant surrounding Capcom and Summer Game Fest. The Resident Evil franchise has a storied history with a massive and dedicated fanbase. Recent rumors circulating social platforms about potential remakes such as Resident Evil 5, Code: Veronica or even a new rendition of Resident Evil 1. It’s been over 4 years since Resident Evil Village made its debut and it would be the perfect time to add another title to this franchise. Whatever happens, fans of the series would take just about anything to satiate their need to tackle the undead and paranormal.
Wolverine
Since the announcement during the PlayStation Showcase back in 2021, we have not received much of a follow-up. Insomniac’s pedigree with the Spider-Man franchise on PlayStation 5 has been met with an overwhelmingly positive reception. With great character development, storytelling and gameplay mechanics it truly makes you feel like Spider-Man. Comic book fans alike are hopeful that this will translate to the Wolverine title to blend great character work with brutal, grounded combat.
Kojima Greatness
According to Summer Game Fest’s official X account, video game great Hideo Kojima will take the stage throughout the broadcast. Kojima’s latest title Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is set to release on the 26th of June this year.
