Top 5 Things You Need to Know About the Summer Games Fest 2024 Leaks and Surprises
- First and foremost, expect a massive gameplay trailer drop for the next major installment in the highly anticipated "State of Decay 3" saga, which has been rumored for years and was confirmed to be the centerpiece of this year's event.
- Secondly, a leaked internal memo suggests a collaboration announcement between a top-tier Japanese studio and a Western publisher will cause a "console war" frenzy in the live chat, potentially involving a new exclusive IP.
- Third, hidden behind the main stage, there is a secret hands-on demo for a reboot of a classic franchise (think "Soulcalibur" or "TimeSplitters") that will only be available to attendees of the Summer Games Fest showcase.
- Fourth, the "Game of the Show" is likely to be a completely unannounced and unexpected indie title, reminiscent of last year's "Chants of Sennaar" reveal, which stole the entire show from AAA titles.
- Finally, be on the lookout for at least one major "Day One" Game Pass shadow drop announcement during the main presentation, specifically a survival-crafting game featuring a unique art style with heavy procedural generation.
