Summer Game Fest 2023 featured several new game announcements over the course of its two-hour runtime, including Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Sonic Superstars.

It also featured the first Alan Wake 2 and Mortal Kombat 1 gameplay, the announcement of Spider-Man 2’s release date, plus a new Final Fantasy VII Rebirth trailer and details.

The show was followed by Day of the Devs, an indie presentation showing off 15 interesting games from around the world, and after that came the latest comedy presentation from Devolver Digital.

Several major publishers also chose to hold product showcases coinciding with Summer Game Fest, including

(Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct), Ubisoft (Ubisoft Forward) and Capcom (Capcom Showcase).

The event now has the spotlight to itself as the industry’s premier June showcase, since The Entertainment Software Association confirmed in December that E3, which began in the 1990s, won’t be coming back.

, event producer and host Keighley said Melanie Liburd, the actor who plays Alan Wake 2’s co-lead protagonist Saga Anderson, was due to take part in the show but ultimately couldn’t because of scheduling conflicts.

“I think generally we do a pretty good job with diversity in our shows. That was something that’s a fair flag,” he said.

“We also want to be authentic to the games that are being presented on the show and the developers that are making them. So yeah, I think we’re conscious of it.”
