Six Highly Anticipated Games That Were MIA at Summer Game Fest 2024

Summer Game Fest 2024 was a bustling event filled with numerous gaming announcements and showcases. Among the many titles that were revealed, some highly anticipated games were conspicuously absent. Let's take a closer look at six of these no-shows that left us yearning for more.

  1. Hollow Knight: Silksong (Team Cherry)

Hollow Knight: Silksong was one of the most anticipated games during Summer Game Fest 2024. The sequel to the beloved Metroidvania game, Hollow Knight, was expected to make an appearance at the event. However, Team Cherry opted to keep fans waiting for more information on this long-awaited title.

  1. Soulcalibur 7 (Bandai Namco)

Soulcalibur 7 was another highly anticipated game that failed to materialize during Summer Game Fest 2024. Fans were eagerly anticipating the announcement of a new entry in the iconic fighting game series, but Bandai Namco remained tight-lipped about any potential reveal.

  1. Resident Evil 9 DLC: Shadows of Rose (Capcom)

Resident Evil 9 left fans with an open ending, leaving many wondering if a sequel was on the horizon. Summer Game Fest 2024 seemed like the perfect opportunity for Capcom to provide an update on the potential continuation of Ethan Winters' story. However, no announcement was made during the event.

  1. Bloodborne's PC port (From Software)

Bloodborne fans have been eagerly anticipating a PC port of their beloved game for quite some time now. Despite fan excitement and numerous rumors, From Software failed to announce any plans for a Bloodborne release on the platform during Summer Game Fest 2024.

  1. 2XKO (Radiant Entertainment and Riot Games)

The fighting game community was abuzz with excitement over the potential reveal of 2XKO, a new fighting game from Radiant Entertainment and Riot Games. However, the title was nowhere to be found during Summer Game Fest 2024.

  1. Beyond Good & Evil 2 (Ubisoft)

Beyond Good & Evil 2 has been in development for over 16 years, and fans were hoping for a substantial update on the game's progress during Summer Game Fest 2024. However, Ubisoft opted to keep things under wraps and provide no new information on the long-awaited sequel.

  • Unique Points
    • Summer Game Fest, an E3 replacement, featured multiple online showcases and onsite events.
    • New World: Aeternum, an MMORPG originally launched in 2021 on PC, is being repackaged and re-released for consoles with new content.

    The authors provide an overview of their experience at the Summer Game Fest and share their impressions of various games they played. They do not make any fallacious statements or use inflammatory rhetoric. However, there are a few instances where they express confusion about Amazon's marketing strategy for New World: Aeternum, which could be considered an appeal to ignorance as they question how well this approach will work out.
    • Amazon is also shifting the marketing approach for New World: Aeternum: it has all of the base game material, the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion, and a slew of new content – and the team is calling it an RPG, not an MMO, even though it's still an MMO. Yes, I am also confused.

Let's pour one out for these no-shows we were desperate to see during Summer Game Fest

PC Gamer Review: Bias, Contradictions, Conflicts of Interest, Deceptiveness & Readability Analysis - Summary by AI Expert in News Analysis for the Date Range Provided on the Site's Articles and About Us Page (2023 Update). Kara Phillips, Thursday, 13 June 2024 15:23
  • Unique Points
    • Hollow Knight: Silksong was expected to be showcased during Summer Game Fest but did not appear
    • Soulcalibur 7 was anticipated to be announced during the event but was not
    • Resident Evil 9 DLC Shadows of Rose left the story open for a potential sequel, but no announcement was made
    • Bloodborne’s PC port has yet to be announced despite fan anticipation
    • 2XKO, a new fighting game from Radiant Entertainment and Riot Games, was not revealed during the event
    • Beyond Good & Evil 2 has been in development for over 16 years and no substantial update was provided at Summer Game Fest
  • Accuracy
    No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
  • Deception (30%)
    The article contains multiple instances of selective reporting and emotional manipulation. The authors express their disappointment and anticipation for certain games that did not appear during Summer Game Fest, implying that these absences were disappointing to them and their readers. They also use phrases like 'desperate to see' and 'sulk about what could have been', which are emotionally manipulative in nature. Additionally, they only mention the games that did not appear, without providing any context or information about the games that were actually announced.
    • Harvey Randall, Staff Writer: I'm a big soulslike guy. I like giant dads in armour, I like swinging a big claymore, and I'm really excited to get my grubby mitts into the Elden Ring DLC. But Bloodborne's been out for nine entire years at this point though... and news of a PC port is completely absent.
    • Mollie Taylor, Features Producer: Summer Game Fest was a surprising W for fighting gamers, but I still couldn't help but wish my immense copium for Soulcalibur 7 had manifested into an actual announcement.
    • Kara Phillips, Evergreen Writer: We knew this would happen. I'm sure I sound like a broken record, but every showcase seems a bit disappointing when there's no Silksong news.
    • Elie Gould, News Writer: After spending most of early 2023 being angry that Capcom was remaking Resident Evil 4 instead of making something new, and then almost immediately taking it back once the remake became one of my favourite games last year, I finally think it's time that we carried on with the story at hand and got to see what else Capcom has planned.
    • We've been inundated with game announcements over the last week... Regardless of how many trailers we've seen or release dates we've marked on our calendars, however, there are bound to be a few notable absences.
  • Fallacies (75%)
    The article discusses anticipated games that were not shown during Summer Game Fest and publisher showcases. The author expresses disappointment and anticipation for the games mentioned. There are no direct quotes from external sources or appeals to authority, and the focus is on the authors' personal opinions and expectations.
    • Summer Game Fest was a surprising W for fighting gamers, but I've still got to wish my immense copium for Soulcalibur 7.—
    • I'm sure FromSoftware has been very busy with Armored Core 6 and Shadow of the Erdtree. I'm certain that expecting any kind of news about Bloodborne's PC port this summer was foolish and naive, as it has been for the past nine years.
    • I'm used to PlayStation titles dragging their feet when it comes to their ports—but they've usually come eventually. Bloodborne's been out for nine entire years at this point though and news of a PC port is completely absent.
    • I think the anticipation for Silksong has outgrown a presentation like a Nintendo Direct or the Xbox Showcase, but that hasn't snuffed out the little glimmer of hope that resides in me each time I sit down to watch an announcement.
    • It's been for nearly a decade now the team has been working on 2XKO, a new incarnation of the idea based in the League of Legends universe. It's a really exciting prospect—I genuinely think with Radiant's design chops and Riot's resources and reach, this could be a complete sea change for the genre.
  • Bias (80%)
    The authors express their disappointment and anticipation for certain games that did not make an appearance during the Summer Game Fest. They use language that depicts their emotions towards these absences as extreme or unreasonable.
    • , Back in 2015, developer Radiant Entertainment released a playable alpha of a game called Rising Thunder, and it was really something special. So what happened to Rising Thunder? Well, the devs got bought up by Riot, the project was cancelled, and for nearly a decade now the team has been working on 2XKO.
      • , I have also never played one of the best FromSoftware games, because I haven’t owned a PlayStation console since the PS2. Bloodborne’s been out for nine entire years at this point though—and news of a PC port is completely absent.
        • , I mean, BG&E2 was announced way back in 2008, and it took another full decade before a cinematic trailer appeared at E3 in 2018. Since then we've gotten a few assurances it's still in development, but nothing concrete.
          • , I think the anticipation for Silksong has outgrown a presentation like a Nintendo Direct or the Xbox Showcase, but that doesn't stop me from focusing on the 'what if' scenario.
            • , My soul still burns, but I’m not sure if the same can be said for Bamco.
              • , Rumor is that it was internally rebooted a few years ago, so we probably know even less than that about it now.
                • We've been inundated with game announcements over the last week. Regardless of how many trailers we've seen or release dates we've marked on our calendars, however, there are bound to be a few notable absences.
