What to expect at Summer Game Fest 2024
At the time of writing, there’s not many developers and publishers who are confirmed to be participating in Summer Game Fest 2024, so there’s no telling what sort of games you can expect to see announced during the show. So far, the only title guaranteed to make an appearance is Batman: Arkham Shadow, a new VR game in development for the Meta Quest 3.
