Only three weeks away as of June 6, Summer Game Fest is indeed turbo-charging the hype train. From long-awaited sequels to surprise reveals, fans are freaking out over the alleged announcements. And really, the replies to the official tweet are utter mayhem-in the best way possible.

First, let’s hit that grey elephant in the room-Bioshock 4. Someone-that by their own admission is–“the #1 Bioshock fan in the world”-is screaming at the top of their lungs for a release date. And honestly? Me too. We have had no new entries to this franchise in a lifetime, and with all the rumors surrounding its development, it almost feels like we might get an announcement out of this summer game fest.

Just apart from Bioshock, I mean, a segment of believers of The Last of Us Part II Remake are straightforwardly asking for surprise announcements. Naughty Dog has been silent, but stranger things have happened. Kingdom Hearts 4 fans are screaming back; swords in hand. Square Enix just loves to announce Kingdom Hearts games, so really, who knows?

The Resident Evil community is insane as well, multiple replies are pleading for RE9. One reply read, “Give me Resident Evil 9 and my life is yours!!!” and that was very much the mood. Capcom has been killing it with all these RE remasters, but time for a new one, please. We want to be ready.

On the wildcard spectrum: State of Decay 3, Final Fantasy VII Part 3, Sonic Racing Crossworld, and even Black Myth: Wukong DLC. The wishlist runs on, and so does Summer Game Fest in the name of fun. Gaming Christmas, except instead of coal, we get Geoff Keighley’s awkward stage presence (love you, Geoff).

Some aren’t buying into it just yet. The ones in replies have a sarcastic vibe coming from this: one of those called it an “Ad fest,” or “Let me guess, a bunch rando JRPGs and games that will come out in 4 years.” Ouch. But hey, even the skeptics will probably watch just in case.

Then came the Nintendo Switch 2 vibes. Somebody remarked that that reveal could very well coincide with Summer Game Fest, thus making June 6-th a very expensive day for gamers. RIP wallets.

So what’s the aura casual? Pure hype with clown face mixed in. Will we get all that we ask for? Most probably no. But that’s the fun-the theories, the freaking out, and the ‘OMG THEY ACTUALLY DID IT’ moments.

Mark your calendars, set your alarms, and declare, “I’ll save a little on the side.” Because at this moment, Summer Game Fest 2025 will be one for the books, big fat maybe aside or big fat yes.

And if none of that really happens… Well… We still have the awkward charm from Geoff.
