Now that E3 is fully dead, Summer Game Fest has taken on its mantle as the go-to event for big video game release announcements. This past weekendâs Game Fest delivered, with companies from Microsoft to horror studio Blumhouse sending honchos to LA to show off new gear and new titles.
News out of the event came in all sizes, from quick teasers for games that still donât have release dates, to console upgrades, to official entries in beloved series. If you missed the weekend-long event, no need to sweat. Weâve got the most interesting announcements right here for you.
Blumhouse Set to Release 6 (!!!) Horror Games
Blumhouseâs gaming division is cooking. The publisher has six horror titles on the way, including projects from indie studio Half Mermaid, which made Immortality and Her Story, and is currently working with Brandon Cronenberg. Itâs also working with Eyes Out, the developer founded by Cory Davis (Spec Ops: The Line) and Nine Inch Nailsâ Robin Finck.
During its Friday presentation, the publisher revealed Fear the Spotlight, Crisol, Theater of Idols, Grave Seasons, Sleep Awake, The Simulation, and Project C via a two-minute sizzle reelâthe trailer was short, but the lineup looks quite promising.
A Doom Prequel
Bethesda and Id Software are releasing a prequel to 2016âs Doom and its 2020 follow-up, Doom Eternal. An origin story called Doom: The Dark Ages, the game has a more fantasy feel to itâthey added chainsaw blades to a shield!âbut still seems to be packing all of the firepower of previous iterations. And blood. Also maybe a dragon? I think?
