Summary

What a week! Our jam-packed episode of Sacred Symbols covers all of the announcements from both Sony's State of Play presentation, as well as Geoff Keighley's Summer Games Fest showcase. And let's just say, there's a ton to get through. State of Play's 25 game roster included a fresh, expanded look at Wolverine, the reveal of Firesprite's long-rumored Until Dawn 2, and the confirmation of a brand new God of War game in the form of Laufey (plus a ton of third-party stuff, including Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Silent Hill: Townfall, Control Resonant, Phantom Blade 0, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, and more). Geoff's show went even harder, with a full 53 games displayed, including the culmination of the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga in the form of Final Fantasy VII: Revelation, the always-assumed Resident Evil: Code Veronica remake en route in 2027, two new Cuphead titles, the Stellar Blade sequel Blood Rain, and so on. We have other news this week, too -- MMORPG Horizon: Steel Frontiers has been delayed, California's legislature is going after developers and publishers who delist games, Fable has been delayed until next year, and so on -- but really, the meat of the show is all about these E3-like pressers. Even the questions at the end! So buckle up for one long episode of Sacred Symbols.

I'm joined as always by my son Chris Raygun. Chris, good to see you today. How are you? I'm good. I'm good. Got up early and spent some time playing some games. A little bit of, a little bit of

1:04.9	11 p.m. to like four or five a.m. and then it just falls off and I barely play during the day.
1:10.3	I have a hard time playing games during daytime hours.
1:12.9	Unless I'm really into it, really into it. You know what I mean? I'm also not awake during daytime hours very much. So that's another thing that I have going against me. It's good to see you as always. What's your shirt? I can't quite make it out. Is it outcast? It has the Outcast shirt.

1:41.9	Got it. It's all the same. Yeah. Nothing special. Just, uh, I don't know. I got to get new clothes. The thing I'm, I'm really hyper aware of like my wardrobe because we record so often. Right.
1:44.5	And so I'm just like, oh, this is a repeat.
