The parade of 2024 summer gaming showcases has begun, and since no mortal gamer can hold this much news in their head at once, we’re collecting all the big trailers and announcements here for you to peruse at your leisure.

Summer Game Fest

The bad news is that they didn’t reveal much—details won’t come until August.

Indie showcases
Even putting aside Hades 2, it’s been a strong year for the action roguelike genre. The Rogue Prince of Persia released in early access and is really cool, we recently previewed Windblown, and at this year’s Devolver Direct, former lead Dead Cells designer Sébastien Benard announced Tenjutsu. (It’s not a roguelike, but 2D platformer Possessors looks pretty sweet, too.)Â
