We are only a day away from Summer Game Fest kicking off and we are dropping our predictions. We got together to record our first ever podcast as a team. We are beyond excited to start this new chapter with our audience. We recorded a meaty two hour episode getting to know each other and took a deep dive on our thoughts on the gaming industry going in to the showcases. Below is a link to our Spotify and YouTube. But if you are running low on time and just want the gist of our predictions, here is the bullet points…
Justin99000: Skate 4 shows up at SGF
“Okay so I know Geoff wants everyone to keep their expectations low this year but that’s specifically for his summer games fest, I think with Microsoft in hot water with fans recently they are going to try and win some brownie points back by showing off some new footage. Either a little fable or doom and maybe some SoD3. They may announce more ports going elsewhere too.
I know everyone is going to be clamoring for silksong news but I’m hoping we get some creative and innovative new indies that no one expects or sees coming. I doubt we will see anything Toys for Bob related. I’m hoping we see a bit more of the first descendents or get a release date.
I’m hoping we get a little more news on some square titles like the new mana game or even Kingdom hearts related. I also don’t expect it but it’d be nice if EA showed anything new with skate 4.”
Jefftroidvania: Hollow Knight Silksong gets a release date
“I'm hoping to see any information on Elder Scrolls 6. I know it's a ways away but maybe a trailer?
Hollow Knight Silksong could show up in any of the showcases and if it doesn't I'll be convinced that it doesn't exist lol
I'm gonna fire off a random one and say Fallout 5 will be talked about and it will be a teaser trailer like es6 was and Todd will come out in his famous leather jacket. If Todd Howard takes the stage at all it will be in a leather jacket or this is truly the darkest timeline.”
keegan19099017: Age of Mythology gets a release date
My top 3 predictions for the Xbox showcase
- Age of mythology retold release date
- Avowed release date trailer
- Fallout tv show season 2 announcement
Fraser (AKA) Fbombe: Gears of War 6 Trailer
In the podcast, Fraser talks on his hopes to see a library of Xbox 360 games come to the Series X/S store for game preservation. He then goes on to share his desperation for a new Gears of War 6 game. In any form he says, even if it’s old titles remastered.
Lady V: Dragon Age Dreadwolf Release Date at SGF
Lady V and I both talked extensively on the possibility that Dragon Age Dreadwolf could make an appearance. She stated “Enough is enough! Give us anything Bioware!”. I went on to add that I think we’ll see this game announced for the Fall 2024, but pushed back later to Spring 2025.
Nathan (AKA) ONE HOT DRAGON: Avowed and Indiana Jones
While it’s not a spicy bet to say these two games will show up at the Xbox Showcase, I discuss in the podcast how I expect to see Avowed in September and Indiana Jones in November specifically.
