As E3 is no longer with us (RIP), Summer Game Fest 2025 continues the annual tradition of revealing world premieres and everything else in its place.
As the paint dries on the previously revealed PlayStation State of Play 2025 showcase, fans look forward to the main Summer Game Fest 2025 presentation for more news and trailers showing the gaming universe what's to come in the next calendar year (and oftentimes, beyond). As is expected from the annual Summer Game Fest 2025 showcase, the presentation was chock full of trailers, world premieres, and even a few laughs for annual SGF 2025 showcase viewers.
We here at CGMagazine have compiled the full list of every trailer, world premiere and announcement that happened at the Summer Game Fest 2025 livestream in the order they were shown, and it can all be seen below.

Summer Game Fest Doesn't Just Try Its Best, It Tries Too Hard
Half a decade into its life, Summer Game Fest still just can't get out of its own way. After a PlayStation showcase earlier in the week, the annual video game promo circuit for the summer began in earnest with that two-hour showcase by the name of Summer Game Fest, which had teases, sequels, and wholly new games galore. Par for the course for SGF and host Geoff Keighley, both of which have endeavored to step up during this decade as the once and glorious trade show king E3 has gradually died off. But this year's carried an odd air about it, even before a Splitgate 2 developer walked onstage with a 'Make FPS Great Again Hat' (really) before smacktalking 'the same Call of Duty' and revealing his shooter's battle royale mode. A lot of that weirdness is because the games industry is going through it right now. It's been over a week since EA killed its Black Panther game and developer Cliffhanger, and industry layoffs have only continued since. Time stops for no one, and since 2023, there've been reductions by the dozens or hundreds, sometimes on a daily, even hourly basis. What we thought was just 'survive til '25' in 2023 or 2024 is now just 'survive' as games and their studios die in the blink of an eye. Combined with what feels like a weirdly muted Nintendo Switch 2 launch and the United States government going through another round of bullshit, of course this trade show feels funky. Other factors to this strange feeling are owed entirely to Summer Game Fest. Never is it more clear when the industry is chasing trends than an event like this, which had plenty of souls and roguelikes and shooters of the space, competitive, and extraction variety. The two genres' popularity seemed to wear on viewers and remind us how we easily tire of things we once liked. Compared to PlayStation's showcase earlier in the week, SGF also felt less consistent in what it had to offer: Resident Evil Requiem and Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver were agreeable highs, other trailers seemed to show up to be polite or didn't really land. More problematically, five years in, Summer Game Fest still feels like it has no real identity of its own beyond an extension of the annual year's end Game Awards. Those ceremonies and accompanying game reveals have a substantially different energy thanks to musical performances, celebrity appearances and usually delightful Muppet gags. Without those, SGF feels less 'fun,' for lack of a better word. It wants to be E3, but the big pressers we tuned in for could sometimes be bad as figureheads for game publishers were high off their own supply or overindulged in nonsense they seemed to think was funny. This can't be that, both because publishers have their indvidual, more regular showcases, and it doesn't want to be perceived as disrespectful to the medium and its audience happy to receive recognition but not the criticism that comes with it. Previously, Keighley has caught flack for failing to properly acknowledge the industry's struggles, or doing so in a clumsy manner. This year's Summer Game Fest opened with him highlighting 2025's current crop of best-selling games, some of which came from teams much smaller than your average triple-A studio. Expedition 33's been the biggest and worst offender of this 'honor'; since the RPG's reveal and launch, it's been lauded as a triumph for a developer with a headcount in the small dozens. But its seven-minute credits show that's not the true story: yes, Sandfall has 33 or 34 employees, but it also had third-party animators, QA contractors, and localizers (and more!) that helped make for a fantastic debut title. Keighley's stressing of those small teams—one guy made a brawler with just the help of nine of his friends!—turns what was likely a well-intentioned acknowledgment of into additional fuel for the fiery divide between indie and triple-A developers at a bad time for both. The narrative around game development (and who makes them) is bad enough thanks to ongoing layoffs and increased player harassment, and this will likely exacerbate things. It's a moment that best represents the double-edged sword of Summer Game Fest's prominence and this particular industry figurehead: sooner or later, amid all the flash and celebration this window into the industry provides, someone sours things by putting their foot in their mouth.

Camper Van: Make it Home has everything you'd want out of a home-decorating simulator, but it's all on wheels and slightly miniaturized, and something about that combination is extra peaceful.

In Camper Van: Make it Home , players solve organization puzzles and use their interior design skills to craft the mobile homes of their dreams. There's even space to decorate outside of the vehicle, and the accessories change along with the environments and seasons. Camper Van: Make it Home is just a perfect encapsulation of pastel dreaminess and cozy creativity. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Camper Van: Make it Home is developed by Spanish indie team Malapata Studio, with financial support from Wings.

Wu-Tang Clan's new game blends anime with Afro-surrealism
Wu-Tang Clan has a new game. At Summer Game Fest 2025, Brass Lion Entertainment has introduced its debut game, Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver . In it, you'll have to fight alongside the group's members to defeat the invading forces of the Deceiver and to save your home of Shaolin. The game is an action RPG with "anime-style fighting and afro-surrealist aesthetic." While you can play the game alone, you can also team up with up to two more friends online, and all of you can customize your fighting styles and your fashion. According to The Washington Post , the group looked for a studio that can develop a game that can tie in with Ghostface Killah and RZA's upcoming film, the supernatural thriller Angel of Dust . That's when the members found out that Brass Lion's director of music and culture was American record producer Just Blaze. Bryna Dabby Smith, Brass Lion's co-founder and CEO, said Wu-Tang loved the concepts their company presented for the game. "The script is in the horror genre, but it really worked from an interactive perspective," the executive told The Post . Brass Lion was co-founded by Manveer Heir ( Wolfenstein and Mass Effect 3 ), Rashad Redic ( Fallout 3 , The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim ) and Smith ( The Bourne Conspiracy , Sleeping Dogs ). Heir previously said that the studio will focus on telling authentic underrepresented stories not just relating to race, but also to age, religion and sexuality. Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceive r will feature classic Wu-Tang tunes alongside new material, as overseen by Just Blaze. It doesn't have a release date yet, but you can watch a teaser below and look at some screenshots on its official Steam page. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings.
