The <strong>SEA Games Showcase<\/strong> joins the Summer Game Fest season for the first time, spotlighting games made right here in our region. Here&#8217;s the full schedule in Singapore time, a recap of what PlayStation already revealed, and what we&#8217;re watching for.<\/p>\n<h2>Summer Game Fest 2026: What Is It?<\/h2>\n<p>Summer Game Fest has been filling the gap left by E3&#8217;s exit \u2014 a sprawling multi-day season where publishers, indie studios, and platform holders all take a turn in the spotlight. This year&#8217;s season runs from 1 to 8 June, anchored by a two-hour main show hosted by Geoff Keighley and Lucy James, broadcasting live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. For Singapore gamers, most streams land in the early hours or late evenings, so planning ahead makes the difference between catching reveals live and waking up to spoilers.<\/p>\n<h2>PlayStation State of Play Recap \u2014 What You May Have Missed<\/h2>\n<p>PlayStation fired first on Tuesday with a showcase packed with reveals. The flagship announcement was <strong>God of War Laufey<\/strong>, a new entry that swaps Kratos for his late wife Faye as she battles through the afterlife of the gods. No release date was given, but the reveal made it clear Sony Santa Monica is taking the series in a fresh direction.<\/p>\n<p>September is shaping up to be stacked: <strong>Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine<\/strong> from Insomniac Games arrives <strong>15 September<\/strong>, and Capcom finally gave <strong>Onimusha: Way of the Sword<\/strong> a date \u2014 <strong>25 September<\/strong> \u2014 with a demo available right now on PS5. <strong>Control: Resonant<\/strong>, the sequel to Remedy&#8217;s cult hit, lands <strong>24 September<\/strong>. Until Dawn 2 was also shown, carrying a 2027 window. If you missed it, the State of Play replay is on PlayStation&#8217;s official YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sea-games-showcase-2026-key-art.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Southeast Asian Games Showcase 2026 banner \u2014 part of Summer Game Fest\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Southeast Asian Games Showcase<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Full Summer Game Fest 2026 Schedule in SGT<\/h2>\n<p>All times are Singapore Standard Time (SGT, UTC+8).
