This person on backloggd seems to keep up with game events. Nine days ago they made a list for an indie showcase, so they're still active.

Dream: Vagrant Story. This is my dream and my nightmare (modern square enix :grimacing-face: ) every year.

I expect we'll see some Persona stuff. 4 remake gameplay is probably a good guess and I guess some character leaks happened for 6 so maybe something there as well.
Darksiders 4 gameplay seems like a sure bet.
I would like to see more Tomb Raider, both the remake/reimagining and the new game.


Trying to think about devs who have been radio silent for a while and kind of can't recall much of anything.
Bioware? Or what's left of them? Will we see whatever the next Mass Effect is going to be?

With the way things have been in terms of layoffs and studio closures, we'll see a shit ton of new "from the makers of" games.

I have used the games recap site the past to catch up on the events. Looks like the sites been overhauled but it probably still does the job. Games Recap - Trailers, Announcements, and Live Streams (Summer Game Fest & More!)

I honestly don't know what to expect. I can't think of likely unannounced titles which could be announced soon (Persona 6? But I don't really consider it unexpected, and it's not like it will release this year), and there are many upcoming titles releasing this year I'm interested in. I guess the SoP will be a good indicator of what to expect announcement wise for the next week
My dream announcements however are always the same, however: bring back Namco X Capcom/Project X Zone, more Super Robot Wars for the 35th anniversary

I'll be happy if we get to see more Persona 4 Revival. And if Persona 6 is shown I'll be over the moon!

Other than that, I'm keeping myself open to be surprised. Maybe my only prediction is we'll get Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 teased or announced. That'd be good.
