Recently, Geoff Keighley hosted Summer Game Fest Livestream to replace E3 2022 as ESA canceled E3 completely. Today, I will highlight 5 stories from Summer Game Fest 2022 that is NOT Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. [Campaign Gameplay revealed at Summer Game Fest] This article is to highlight new companies, new franchises, and anticipated games…
Name: Flashback 2
Release Date: TBA 2022
Genre: 2D Platformer
Developer: Microids Studio Lyon
Publisher: Microids
“Flashback? What’s that?” If you were not born in the 80’s or 90’s then you don’t know this game. It was originally released for the Amiga in 1992. Most people know Flashback as a Genesis and/or Super Nintendo game. Paul Cuisset is working alongside Microids to develop Flashback 2. If you want to see how Flashback was, it was ported to many CD, and higher-end consoles with better effects, full-motion sequences. Today, you can find it on Nintendo Switch’s eShop, PlayStation Store, and Windows as Flashback: Remastered Edition.
Name: Aliens: Dark Descent
Release Date: TBA 2023
Genre: Real-Time Strategy (RTS)
Developer: Tindalos Interactive
Publisher: Focus Entertainment

Release Date: December 2, 2022

The trailer is from the recent State of Play, and counts as part of Summer Game Fest…
There is an extended look, but it has a little bit of commentary from Glen Schofield. I’m not sure if you want that, or just pure gameplay…
Name: Layers of Fears
Release Date: TBA 2023
Genre: Survival Action/Adventure
Developer: Bloober Team
Publisher: Bloober Team
Layers of Fears is a collection of remakes of Layers of Fear, Layers of Fear 2, and Layers of Fear: Inheritance, being recreated in Unreal Engine 5. However, Bloober Team does not mark it as a remaster or a remake, but retooled as a new game, since it features some extra content. “Our plan was to recreate the games, but we didn’t want to make it a simple collection of two remastered games,” Piotr Babieno said to Gamespot, he continued: “We’ve worked out a new approach, something that is maybe not yet obvious. But I can tell you there’s a reason why we called it Layers of Fears.”
Name: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge
Release Date: June 16, 2022
Genre: Beat ’em Up
Developer: Tribute Games
Publisher: DotEmu
The biggest showcase from Summer Game Fest is TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. Many people were already hyped, and anticipating Shredder’s Revenge, all that it required was a release date. If you were a fan of the original TMNT arcade game(s) from the 80’s and 90’s, Shredder’s Revenge is right up your alley.
