Summer Game Fest 2026: What Disney and Star Wars Fans Are Hoping to See

Summer Game Fest 2026, Geoff Keighley's annual video game showcase, streams live on June 5 with a confirmed world-first look at the Clone Wars tactics game Star Wars: Zero Company. With most of the lineup still under wraps, Disney and Lucasfilm fans are speculating about which other beloved franchises might surprise the audience. The piece breaks down what's confirmed and what remains fan anticipation.

Disney fans with a controller in hand have a date circled on the calendar: Summer Game Fest 2026, the annual showcase hosted by Geoff Keighley, returns this week with a stream packed with world premieres and surprise reveals. With a galaxy-spanning Star Wars strategy game already promised and a long roster of studios attending, fans of Disney-owned worlds are wondering which of their favorite franchises might step into the spotlight.

What Summer Game Fest Is — And When to Watch

Summer Game Fest is an annual industry showcase that gathers publishers, studios, and platform holders for a single live stream of trailers, reveals, and gameplay premieres. The 2026 edition is set for June 5, airing at 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 10pm BST. As is tradition, only a handful of titles have been teased ahead of time, which is exactly what makes the show such a draw — most of the runtime is reserved for surprises.

What Has Already Been Confirmed

A few reveals are already locked in. The biggest for Disney fans is a promised world-first look at Star Wars: Zero Company, an XCOM-inspired turn-based tactics game co-developed by Bit Reactor and Respawn Entertainment. Players take command of a mercenary squad operating in the shadows of the Clone Wars — a setting rich with Lucasfilm lore.

Beyond the galaxy far, far away, ArenaNet (the Guild Wars studio) is confirmed to attend, fueling speculation about a possible Guild Wars 3 reveal. The cinematic Tang Dynasty action-adventure Blood Message from studio 24 Entertainment Lin'an is expected to show more, alongside the new open-world racer Clutch from ex-Playground developers at Maverick Games. Epic Games will also debut a trailer for a new Fortnite season, Runners, fronted by actor Ben Starr.

The Disney, Star Wars, and Marvel Angle Fans Are Hoping For

Here is where it shifts from confirmed to speculation. For fans of Disney-owned IP, Star Wars: Zero Company is the centerpiece, but it may not be the only Lucasfilm moment. With EA a regular presence at these events, some fans are hopeful — though there is no confirmation — that the third entry in Respawn's Star Wars Jedi trilogy could surface, following Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor. That remains pure anticipation, not announced news.

Marvel and broader Disney game fans are watching too. Summer Game Fest has historically been a launchpad for major franchise reveals, and while nothing Marvel-branded has been teased for this year's show, the publisher-heavy format means surprises are always possible. As always, the responsible read is that any unannounced Disney-IP appearance is a fan hope rather than a scheduled segment — the only Disney-published title with a confirmed showing is Star Wars: Zero Company.

Why Fans Are Buzzing

Summer Game Fest has become one of the calendar's marquee gaming moments precisely because so little is revealed in advance, turning the lead-up into a festival of speculation. For Disney and Lucasfilm fans, the confirmed world premiere of Star Wars: Zero Company alone is reason to tune in, while the open-ended lineup keeps hope alive for surprise looks at other beloved franchises. With the stream set for June 5, fans won't have to wait long to see which dreams become reality — and which stay dreams for another year.
