Summer Game Fest 2022: Trailers and Highlights

Capcom debuted a character trailer for America's Hero, Guile. He's now sporting a new beard and a fresh military jumpsuit to boot. As far as his moveset goes, his signature Sonic Boom and Flash Kick make their welcome return. His cinematic super move stands out as the most impressive, which you're most likely going to replay a million and one times before Street Fighter 6 launches.

Yep, we're getting another playable squad-based foray into the Alien universe! Aliens: Dark Descent is a single-player action/real-time strategy game where you'll play alongside your fellow marines and engage in intense real-time combat with an army of rampaging Xenomorphs.

We got a short but sweet gameplay demo for the upcoming survival horror game, The Callisto Protocol. And as expected, the comparisons to Dead Space are on full display here as this new IP's main character fends off horribly disfigured creatures with a wealth of firearms and also gets killed off in the most disturbingly gory ways possible.

We got a deep look at a piece of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II's single-player campaign with this new footage. The soldiers put on display during this exciting gameplay sequence can be seen using stealthy maneuvers to make their way through a cargo ship. And of course, all hell breaks loose as those soldiers eventually run into the opposition they've been hunting and gunfire quickly erupts. The action hits hard and fast, so expect even more greatness from Call of Duty's quality campaigns when this latest entry in the Modern Warfare sub-series drops.

So for those not old enough to remember it, Flashback is a science fiction cinematic platform game that was originally released in 1992. Now we're due for an all-new entry in the series that's coming in the form of an unexpected sequel.

Outriders is still going strong! A trailer for the game's new expansion called Worldslayer was revealed and it gives fans a sneak peek at all the elemental madness and furious gunplay they've become enamored with. This expansion is set to arrive with new maps, new foes, new pieces of gear, and plenty more fresh content.

If you're a diehard Starcraft 2 fan, then you'll want to pay attention to this new PC real-time strategy experience. Stormgate comes from a development studio helmed by ex-Blizzard developers, so the pedigree of the talent behind this new IP sounds pretty legit.

Neon White is launching on June 16.

Warframe is one of the most well-known ongoing games that's still getting expansions in this day and age. This cinematic trailer for The Duviri Paradox add-on content was pretty much set up as a precursor to its full gameplay reveal at TennoCon 2022, which is dated July 16.

Developer miHoYo (Genshin Impact) showed off two upcoming works. The first one was Honkai: Star Rail, which is a free-to-play 3D tactical RPG. Familiar faces and alternate versions of the characters hailing from Honkai Impact 3rd will make an appearance in this new series installment.

Just one day before its release on June 10, a new trailer for The Quarry hit our screens.
