What we learned from gaming's big weekend


Xbox's showcase tops off Summer Game Fest - here are some of the highlights from gaming's big weekend.

Free to flex its merger muscles this year after finally sealing the deal, it kicked off with a montage from upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, which got its own dedicated preview straight after the main event. From there it launched into an action-packed trailer for Doom: The Dark Ages, and the rest of the one-hour session crammed in a host of flagship franchises including Warcraft, Diablo, Elder Scrolls Online and the recently revitalised Fallout 76. With the exception of a guest appearance from Remedy Entertainment’s Sam Lake announcing that new content for 2023 game of the year contender Alan Wake 2 would be released the next day, the event didn’t contain many drop-your-coffee moments.
