When it comes to capturing a sense of adventure, open-world games can certainly deliver that in spades. From fantastical landscapes to sprawling sci-fi environments and historical backdrops, there are so many new games across various genres on the horizon that promise to transport us to other universes both new and familiar. With so many publisher partners taking part in the Summer Game Fest schedule this year, I can't help but wonder what new games we might see during the big event. And with lots of exciting and intriguing open-world experiences coming our way in the near and distant future, I've been thinking about which adventures I would absolutely love to see more of.
While it's not always clear what games are actually open-world – I'm looking at you Pokemon Legends Z-A (which could be open zones like the game that came before, or build on the open world set up of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet) – I've tried to take a stab at which ones we might see that are on my personal bingo card. So, join me as I explore the most anticipated open-world games coming our way that I really hope we get to see more of at Summer Game Fest 2024.
