The emails must stop.

Replaying Onimusha 1 for the first time in probably like two decades and I forgot how weird (complimentary) it is So easily identifiable as its working title: Sengoku Biohazard lol

My Game of the Show for Summer Game Fest 2026.

During my sit-down with Masayoshi Yokoyama, I asked several questions about Tupac's controversial inclusion in Stranger Than Heaven

I did PR for like 6 months when GI shutdown so I feel qualified to offer this expert level advice you have probably never heard: you can get an easy PR win layup by saying gen AI sucks and isn't in your game. This one's free, next one I gotta charge for, you're welcome

And so it begins.

I asked the question

Feels like these companies are playing in our face (and continuing to erode the control media has over its coverage) when press sees something behind closed doors at SGF, spends time writing about it, and then at embargo, these companies just release everything press saw, same commentary, etc.

Escape Academy 2 is widening its scope, but its escape room puzzles are still a highlight. Our impressions from Summer Game Fest 2026: gameinformer.com/sgf-2026/202...

We sat down with Street Fighter 6's director to learn how Tifa joined the roster gameinformer.com/sgf-2026/202...

I do not fully trust critics who are not both lovers and haters. All I want is for you to have some kind of taste, some kind of ethic, and I want you to argue in favor of it, which should inevitably mean that you greatly admire some works in your chosen field and definitely don’t admire others.

That’s Mixtape finished ✅ I’m a mark for this exact kind of teenage romanticism – like yes, I would like to fly over my hometown while Joy Division’s Atmosphere plays – so I thoroughly enjoyed it.

As someone who did blow up a car with friends as a teenager (albeit accidentally), I’m really enjoying Mixtape.

The SGF week of showcases is finally behind us after today's Nintendo Direct. We rounded up the ones we most enjoyed seeing! Here are the 25 most exciting games of Summer Game Fest 2026: gameinformer.com/sgf-2026/202...

Gacha peeps, how easy/hard would it be to jump into Wuthering Waves, having never played it, and experience the Edgerunners stuff I would like to see the Lucy

Here's everything announced during Nintendo's 2026 Summer Direct presentation including the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, the new Xenoblade, a new Final Fantasy (kinda), new Kingdom Hearts IV details, the next Deltarune chapter, and more. gameinformer.com/nintendo-dir...

I think a Nintendo Direct, for a lot of people, is either strictly good or bad based on whether Mario appeared Not me, though, I love RPGs

Over on the Square Enix YouTube channel, the new Kingdom Hearts IV trailer shows the game is launching on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Square Enix seems all in on simultaneous launches now.

Anybody else sick in the head and thinking this announcement means Final Fantasy X-3 is coming in the Direct today

Proper lovely to see @fellowtraveller.games' Signet City and Burn-9 on this list 🍄💛 Thank you @wesleyleblanc.bsky.social for the inclusion, narrative game lovers WE UP!

Did not see the “that’s enough” prompt appear and spent like 10 minutes TPing the hell out of this house in Mixtape lmao

This week has been absolutely brimming with indie game announcements. This is far from a comprehensive list, but here are 10 favorites that stood out to us that we can't wait to play. gameinformer.com/sgf-2026/202...

Still catching up on the past week of game announcements? Here's every remaster or remake we saw during the 2026 Summer Game Fest showcase week: gameinformer.com/sgf-2026/202...

Though every game is indeed woke and gay, you do have to hand it to the bisexuals for coming up with a really great lighting combo – love those hues

I think we can all agree we’d rather have FFXIII on Switch 2 than an Ocarina of Time remake, let’s manifest this guys

jk jk Nintendo says it will be 50 minutes long, followed by a 95-minute Treehouse Live

Surely this is the showcase where we see Final Fantasy XIII right

A Nintendo Direct will air tomorrow, the company has revealed. There's no word from Nintendo on what to expect or how long it will go. gameinformer.com/nintendo-dir...

No Nintendo Today Direct announcement and nothing on socials from Nintendo at 9am ET like usual... Really hoping that 15-minutes-before-the-direct announcement for the Star Fox Done isn't the start of a new trend

🚨 NEW QUEEN'S BLOOD DETAILS 🚨

Got the chance to ask @wrongorgan.bsky.social about its next game, which looks great

Just hit 55 stories published this week, holy shit hahahah

So damn stoked for this.

We're not far from Steam completely removing its AI disclosure section, I fear.

*that will be released when sales don't hit expectations

As far as I can see, no other outlet has covered this game so in other words, there is no tastemaker doing it better than us because beyblade roguelite might be the perfect game pitch

This shit looks so awesome dude

They didn't hear us yesterday, so we let them know again. 80 more times. 80 more murals letting #IGNLive goers know that we deserve fair pay. Have fun cleaning them up this morning.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Final Fantasy VII Ree-velation

Barbie Rewind is a Digital Eclipse collection of 16 classic Barbie games baked into a Dreamhouse decorator experience. gameinformer.com/sgf-2026/202...

It's 10:42pm at night – I'm writing about Digital Eclipse's Barbie Rewind collection and my wife is upstairs using a hammer to do...something that I'm not privvy to know about at this moment lol. Happy Saturday night!

Both Citizen Sleeper games are getting Nintendo Switch 2 versions later this month (and if you already own them on Switch, you can upgrade for free). gameinformer.com/sgf-2026/202...

Burn-9 is a "tactical radio action" game inspired by Metal Gear Solid where you play as the person in the chair, and it's launching this year. gameinformer.com/sgf-2026/202...

Final Fantasy VII Revelation: Sephiroth's English voice actor has been replaced by Critical Role's Travis Willingham (and you can hear his take on the character in the reveal trailer): gameinformer.com/sgf-2026/202...

IGN Entertainment is refusing to pay its workers the wages we deserve, even as we make #IGNLive the event that it is this weekend. So we left a message that can’t be ignored. And you should too. Let our upper management know that you support us by sending them an email here: bit.ly/4e2uUCP

we miss you, @metallicaisrad.bsky.social, GI's former gacha anime game hero

Okay, I wrote 13 stories during the showcase, what'd I miss🥲
