🔥 Summer Game Fest 2025 Was WILD: Resident Evil, Deadpool VR, Game of Thrones & More Blew Our Minds

Warning: If you thought Summer Game Fest 2025 would be a chill stream of trailers, you’re dead wrong. What we got was a two-day firestorm of reveals, madness, nostalgia punches, and plot twists that made even the calmest gamer scream, “WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!”

From zombies who learn your moves, to Deadpool insulting your headset, to Westeros turning into an RTS battlefield, this was not your average showcase. This was cinema meets console — and we’re here for it.

Here’s your masaledaar full recap of everything that exploded in the last 48 hours… and what’s still coming up on June 8.

🧟‍♂️ Resident Evil: Requiem – Horror Has a New Pulse

If Resident Evil Village gave you nightmares, Requiem might just send you to therapy.

Capcom unleashed a trailer so tense, so deliciously terrifying, that horror Twitter hasn’t stopped panicking. A new female lead stumbles into a mutated version of Raccoon City — where nothing stays dead, and the zombies learn from your moves using adaptive AI.

Yes, you heard that right — shoot them in the leg, they’ll dodge it next time. Hide in a locker? They’ll break it open the third time. Even the soundtrack was giving Joker-level anxiety.

🔥 Masala Moment: A zombified priest whispers, “I remember you,” before lunging at the camera. Chills, boss.

Masala Meter: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Vibe: Resident Evil meets Black Mirror on acid

🐉 Game of Thrones: War for Westeros – Real-Time Backstabbing

Drop everything — we finally have a Game of Thrones RTS, and it looks like Total War had a baby with Crusader Kings and raised it on betrayal and dragon fire.

The trailer opened with Daenerys torching King’s Landing in-game, only for a Stark alliance to counter-attack with direwolves and trebuchets. You can ally, betray, spy, and even assassinate characters mid-match. The Iron Throne has never looked so clickable.

🔥 Masala Moment: A marriage proposal gets declined — and triggers a surprise Targaryen invasion. Drama, drama, drama.

Playable Houses: Stark, Lannister, Targaryen, Baratheon, Martell — with Greyjoy and Tyrell DLCs teased.

Masala Meter: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Vibe: Strategy + betrayal = 10/10 gamer gossip

🧠 Death Stranding 2: On The Beach – Kojima’s Chaos Continues

Kojima does it again — and we still don’t know what we watched. Death Stranding 2’s new trailer had floating whales, crying babies, a guitar version of the original theme, and a time-bending storyline that looks like a philosophy lecture wrapped in acid trip visuals.

Norman Reedus is back, Elle Fanning joins, and the environments now include glowing sands, collapsing bridges, and even underwater stealth sequences. What’s it all mean? No clue. But it’s stunning.

🔥 Masala Moment: The camera zooms inside a baby’s eye… and you see an exploding planet. Yeah.

Vibe: Emotional sci-fi opera x fever dream

🧱 Lego Voyagers – Indie Magic Across the Universe

You didn’t expect to cry over a Lego game, did you? Lego Voyagers is a surprise tearjerker that mixes co-op puzzle-solving, space exploration, and an adorable story about lost siblings reuniting one planet at a time.

From asteroid jungles to lava cities made of brick, every environment felt handcrafted for memories. You can build ships on the fly, change gravity, and solve problems together — or argue hilariously along the way.

🔥 Masala Moment: One scene shows the characters building a rocket using leftover bricks and tears. Literal.

Masala Meter: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Vibe: It Takes Two meets WALL-E, with bricks

🦔 Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds – Speed Meets Nostalgia

We weren’t ready for how good this would look. SEGA brought back Sonic racing, but fused it with open-world zones, multiverse tracks, and a wild crossover roster.

Yes, you can now race as Sonic, Steve from Minecraft, and Joker from Persona 5. Tracks include loop-de-loops through Mushroom Hill, drifting across Hyrule-looking forests (wink), and racing upside down on pixel circuits.

🔥 Masala Moment: Sonic uses a Minecraft Creeper as a bomb power-up. Mic drop.

Masala Meter: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Vibe: Mario Kart’s cooler, faster cousin

🤪 Deadpool VR – Full Insanity, Now in Your Face

If you ever wanted Deadpool to insult your haircut while you’re dodging bullets — this is your game. Deadpool VR is chaotic, brilliant, and absolutely unfiltered.

Neil Patrick Harris as Deadpool? YES.
Meta jokes? Too many.
Weapons? Chainsaws, tacos, exploding plushies.

You can flip off NPCs, wall-run across taco trucks, and break the fourth wall so hard, you actually see the game’s code. Even the tutorial ends with Deadpool quitting and calling YOU the tutorial.

🔥 Masala Moment: A boss fight where Deadpool pauses the game, rewinds it, and beats it himself while you watch.

Masala Meter: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Vibe: VR meets stand-up comedy with superpowers

🎸 Mixtape – The Feel Trip of the Fest

This wasn’t a game — it was a mood. Mixtape mixes surreal visuals, nostalgic teenage energy, and indie rock into a playable coming-of-age journey. If you loved Life Is Strange, prepare to cry again.

You play as three friends during their last summer together. Each level is a flashback told through songs from Joy Division, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and more.

🔥 Masala Moment: One dream sequence is set to “Love Will Tear Us Apart” as you ride a bike through the stars. Chef’s kiss.

Masala Meter: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Vibe: Guitar Hero meets Netflix teen drama

👿 Possessor(s) – Stylish, Brutal, Addictive

If a demon-possessed cyberpunk metropolis was a game — this would be it. Possessor(s) gives you fast-paced, high-stakes Metroidvania action in a city ruled by greedy corporations and literal hellspawn.

Combat? Brutal.
Story? Surprisingly deep.
Aesthetics? Pixel perfection.

🔥 Masala Moment: You possess a banker mid-fight, steal his gun, and use it to blow open a stock exchange. LOL.

Masala Meter: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Vibe: Hades + Hotline Miami = Yes, please
