gamingJun 5, 20261161,368

Summer Game Fest 2026 kicked off June 5 with live global showcases, and the Latin American Games Showcase closed the stream with several world premieres. New Blood Interactive opened the Latin American segment with Tenebris Somnia, a retro survival-horror trailer featuring live-action cutscenes and starring lead actress Clara Kovacic. The festival also ran a Women-Led Games showcase tied to a Steam event and included teases of larger publisher announcements later in the broadcast. The mix of regional world premieres, a spotlight on women-led projects, and major-publisher teases shows the festival expanding its geographic reach and developer diversity this year.

Thought I'd say that during Summer Game Fest let's all be respectful to each other, have fun and not be a Donkey. 🤍👍

Just gonna take it for what it is. But would love to see what's next for FF and what comes after Rebirth. Also KH4 gameplay footage would be cool.

Hard pass on anything they're putting out...

RhysClark974

that game is never coming out, they will give up in 5 years and say "we just didn’t realise how hard it was" after attempting exactly two massively over budgeted game projects.

Funniest thing to come out of Summer Games Fest last year was when Half Life fans started tracking Gabe Newell's yacht and freaked out when it was headed to Los Angeles like he was going to crash the stage to announce the next game
