ItΓÇÖs time to game. Kicking off June 6, with Summer Game Fest Live, SGF 2025
runs through to June 9, with the likes of Xbox Games Showcase and even Death
Stranding 2 live game premiere likely to make headlines. There is a bunch of
others in store, including Day of the Devs. Devolver Direct and Wholesome
Direct are peppering the schedule.

For Xbox, games in the pipeline include the new Fable, Perfect Dark, Gears of
War: E-Day, Everwild, State of Decay 3, Clockwork Revolution, Hideo
KojimaΓÇÖs OD and Contraband.

What about Nintendo (although itΓÇÖs a bit busy) and Sony? Traditionally,
both have their own presentations, but there is no word yet on either.
Ubisoft usually does a thing too, but nothingΓÇÖs on the docket.

The most recent headline-makers include a glimpse at The Witcher 4, courtesy
of Unreal, and a closer look at IO InteractiveΓÇÖs 007 First Light, a James
Bond game from the studio responsible for the incredible Hitman series.
Hopefully, there are further surprises. Maybe a Silksong release date? Gosh,
I can be silly.

rigs. Sony

Director Danny Boyle has discussed the use of iPhones for 28 Years Later in
an interview with IGN. The movies used three special rigs for the iPhone

the film] where we use the 20-rig camera, and youΓÇÖll know it when you see
