The biggest announcements and trailers from the 2024 summer gaming showcases

 All the big reveals from Sony, Microsoft, Summer Game Fest, the PC Gaming Show, and more.

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.
The big news for PC gamers at May's Sony State of Play stream was no big surprise: God of War Ragnarök is on its way to Steam on September 19. Just make sure you have a PSN account...

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is coming in 2025
Monster Hunter Wilds is full of 'harsh and unforgiving' weather

The biggest news at this year's Summer Game Fest, at least for us older PC gaming practitioners, was the announcement that Civilization 7 is on the way next year. We already knew Firaxis was working on the next game in the legendary grand strategy series, but it's nice to have it confirmed. The bad news is that they didn't reveal much—details won't come until August.

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.)
