The summer gaming showcases have concluded, giving us a comprehensive look at the exciting titles coming our way over the next year. Throughout IGN's Summer of Gaming, we've witnessed numerous thrilling announcements - from the surprise reveal of Resident Evil Requiem during Summer Game Fest (launching February!) to Clockwork Revolution's standout trailer at the Xbox Games Showcase (with a TBA release date).
With over a dozen presentations these past weeks, every gaming preference found something to enjoy. Wholesome Direct catered to cozy gamers, Warhammer Skulls thrilled grimdark enthusiasts, while PlayStation's State of Play and Xbox's showcase delivered for platform loyalists. Now that all the announcements are public, the real challenge begins: ranking the season's most significant reveals.
We've curated 25 standout games based on multiple criteria including trailer views, social engagement, and editorial excitement. These titles now await your judgment in our interactive Tier List. S-rank represents must-play potential, D-rank indicates questionable prospects, with gradations between covering all other possibilities.
Several games emerge as strong S-rank candidates. Resident Evil Requiem dominated viewership metrics, and our hands-on experience confirms its potential. Invincible VS impresses as both a compelling fighter and faithful comic adaptation. 007 First Light's cinematic debut trailer raises expectations - but can the gameplay deliver the Bond fantasy?
Other announcements provoke thoughtful debate. Capcom's long-anticipated Pragmata finally resurfaced - does it meet expectations? The Silent Hill remake announcement came without footage, though developer Bloober Team's recent success inspires confidence. Double Fine's mysterious Keeper showed promise while revealing little - where will these titles land in your ranking?
