Summer Game Fest 2026 delivered a massive slate of upcoming titles, signaling a busy period for the industry through 2027. Major announcements ranged from the final entry in the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy to new installments in established franchises like Spyro, Persona, and Guild Wars, with several titles targeting 2027 release windows across PS5, Xbox, Switch 2, and PC platforms.
What are the biggest games coming in 2027?
The 2027 release calendar is already filling up with high-profile sequels and remakes. According to Summer Game Fest announcements, the third and final entry of the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy is slated for a spring 2027 release on PS5, Xbox, Switch 2, and PC. Capcom is also targeting 2027 for its remake of Resident Evil: Veronica, which will feature Claire and Chris Redfield. Additionally, Spyro: A Realm Beyond from Toys for Bob and Activision, Until Dawn 2 from Firesprite, Virtua Fighter Crossroads from RGG Studio, and a new entry in the Hellblade universe titled Senua are all currently scheduled for 2027.
How is the industry evolving its long-running franchises?
Studios are increasingly blending familiar intellectual property with modern gameplay shifts. RGG Studio’s Virtua Fighter Crossroads, the first mainline entry in nearly two decades, is expected to incorporate narrative-heavy, street-level action similar to the Yakuza series. Meanwhile, ArenaNet is positioning Guild Wars 3 as a “modern evolution of the MMO,” with a notable expansion to console platforms, as the game will be playable on PS5 alongside PC when its beta arrives in fall 2027.
Which new titles are expanding existing universes?
Several developers are utilizing established universes to explore new character perspectives or standalone stories. Sony’s State of Play featured the reveal of a God of War spin-off focused on Kratos’ wife, Faye, showcasing 20 minutes of fluid, action-oriented gameplay. Similarly, Shift Up teased Stellar Blade: Blood Rain, which introduces a new protagonist named Evie within the original game’s universe, though no release date has been confirmed.
