A Quick Rundown of New Games Presented at Summer Games Fest’s Kickoff Stream
E3 is still out of the picture but that doesn’t mean we won’t have a collective event that bundles together all the new game announcements we should look forward to this year.
Summer Games Fest’s Kickoff Stream went live earlier today (timezone difference made us advanced by a day) and here’s a quick rundown of games that were presented:
To start things off, CAPCOM’s Street Fighter 6 debuted its first exclusive gameplay with a special character reveal.
