Confirmed Highlights for Summer Game Fest 2025
Silksong Still Missing from Official Lineup
Despite a brief appearance in April 2025's Nintendo Direct and subtle website updates, Hollow Knight fans should temper expectations - Team Cherry's long-awaited sequel remains absent from Summer Game Fest's confirmed lineup. This continues the game's mysterious development journey that has become a running joke in the gaming community.
The Outer Worlds 2 Gets Dedicated Showcase
Following its humorous E3 2021 reveal (which cleverly mocked The Elder Scrolls VI), Obsidian Entertainment's sci-fi RPG sequel will finally receive proper attention. The Outer Worlds 2 will have its own dedicated presentation right after the Xbox Games Showcase on Day 3, though specific details about the content remain closely guarded.
Confirmed Participants and Titles
While many announcements remain under wraps, several major publishers have confirmed participation including Ubisoft, Devolver Digital, Astra Logical, and Failbetter Games. Notable titles set for reveals include Kingmakers, Of Ash and Steel, SpeedRunners 2, and Hello Neighbor 3.
