What games can we look forward to?
The long-awaited Starfield from Bethesda and Microsoft is already confirmed for the Xbox Starfield Showcase taking place on June 11. But in addition to the next Bethesda smash hit, we can also expect other games.
Because Bandai Namco is also at Summer Game Fest, many fans are naturally hoping for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree There is still no official information on the DLC for the cult game 2022 apart from an artwork and we can get our hopes up for more.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is also a hot candidate for more information and trailers at Summer Game Fest. According to leaks, the game will finally be released as early as August this year. So it would be high time for more information on the latest installment of the Assassin’s Creed series.
Another DLC that is very likely to be at the Summer Game Fest would be Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty

So we can expect developer panels and fresh gameplay for the latest instalment of the legendary series. The whole event will also be streamed for fans worldwide and many also suspect that the announced demo for FF16 will then become available with the event.
The next candidate for more information also comes from Square Enix. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has been announced for winter 2023/24. Although there is still some time until then, the official Twitter account came forward with developer comments a few days ago and is currently publishing new insights into the development on a daily basis.
