Last weekend was Summer Game Fest (SGF) and a lot happened. I can’t cover everything that happened, but I’ll do my best to hit the highlights. If you want information about Xbox Game Showcase, Ubisoft Forward or Capcom Showcase, check out their respective articles. Be sure to let me know what your favorite parts of SGF 2023 were in the comments section.
First, SEGA has announced a new Sonic the hedgehog game! Sonic superstars will be a new 2D Sonic platformer featuring Blue Blur and his friends as they travel across the North Star Islands. This looks really good in my opinion and I can’t wait. My son is obsessed with Sonic at the moment and I can’t wait for them to try it out, especially since he has a 4 player multiplayer feature so we can play together. There are also seven different skills unlocked with the power of legendary Chaos Emeralds such as clones, waterfall climbing, and more. You will be able to enjoy yourself Sonic superstars this fall on Nintendo Switch consoles, PC (Epic|Steam), PS4/5 and Xbox.
Throne and Freedom is an upcoming MMORPG by NCSOFT and Amazon Games. It had a trailer at the event and it looked pretty cool, though it was all cinematic, so it’s hard to know what the gameplay will actually be like. The game will be available on PC (Steam), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S (affiliate link) and you can sign up for the technical test on the official website. The game will be free to play.
Speaking of MMORPGs, Pearl Abyss has released a new trailer for Earth of the morning lightthe largest expansion for Black desert online in 2023.

Warhaven from Nexon Korea showed a new trailer that looked pretty cool. The game features 16v16 PvP combat set in a medieval fantasy world that sounds like total chaos to me. If you like the sound, you can try it next week for free! From June 19 to 26 during the Steam Next Fest, Warhaven A free demo version will be available to play. Will you join the fray?
Meanwhile, Free Range Games and North Beach Games have given fans a first look The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria. The game is a co-op survival game that has you and your friends taking on the role of dwarfs in the world of JRR Tolkin. The trailer is narrated by John Rhys-Davies, which is great, and the story will see players enter the Fourth Age of Middle-earth as you are tasked by Lord Gimli Lockbearer to reclaim the homeland of Moria or Khazad-dûm or Dwarrowdelf. This could be a lot of fun for Lord of the Rings fan.
Square Enix was not going to leave fans in awe during the event. They released a gameplay trailer for Final Fantasy VII Reborn. The next chapter of the FF VII remake project to be released in early 2024, FFVII Reborn is the second entry and continues the classic story after the heroes escape Midgar and go after Sephiroth.
Baldur’s Gate 3 I have received some announcements courtesy of Larian Studios. First, Jason Isaac will voice the game’s antagonist, Lord Enver Gortash. Also, at the PC Gaming Show fans got their first look at the titular city in the Forgotten Realms. This version of Baldur’s Gate is the largest iteration ever in a video game and looks stunning. You can’t wait to play Baldur’s Gate 3 on PC and PS5 on August 31st.
