In the run up to the start of Summer Game Fest, the staff here at TRG are mulling over their predictions for the show. Or just what they’d like to see make an appearance. First up is editor in chief, Julian Benson, with his two cents worth.
Jules: Okay, this is less a prediction and more of a wild wish, I want to see EA announce a new Command & Conquer. Earlier this year, we learned EA’s returning to a major IP, though the publisher gave no details about which series or how big of a game it would be. While it could be EA’s ready to announce The Sims 5 or a new Medal of Honor, my deepest hope is that it’s finally returning to Command & Conquer.
The classic RTS series has been left without a new title for way too long. Though the response to the Command & Conquered Remastered Collection shows there’s a lot of love for the game both from fans and within EA’s walls. Come on, EA, get the team back together and open the Summer Game Fest with an orchestral version of Hell March.
We already know about a few of the games that will be making an appearance in today’s Showcase. Activision is planning to give us our first look at the new Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2’s campaign, and this is following hot on the tails of last night’s news that Warzone 2 will be an entirely separate game from Warzone.
For fans of pummeling things with their fists, Capcom’s going to be giving us a closer look at Street Fighter 6 and we’re getting a fresh look at Warner Bros Montreal’s Gotham Knights.
If horror is more your thing, we’re getting an extended look at Alien-like The Callisto Protocol, a new survival game from some of the key players on gory fright-fest Dead Space.
One game we know won’t make an appearance, though, is GTA 6. Responding to rumors its reveal trailer would be part of the Showcase, Geoff Keighley himself said GTA 6 won’t be at Summer Game Fest.
