A summer of big announcements, Final Fantasy XVI arrives, and more trips into the VP Archives
Seemingly out of nowhere, we are already at the halfway point of the year, and a busy few weeks of gaming showcases & announcements have left an array of teasers and trailers fresh in the memory.
Obviously not all of the big announcements have a direct relevance for the world of in-game photography, but there are plenty that do. So, click through to see a full round-up of the summer announcements in a list that includes Starfield, Assassin’s Creed, Spider-Man, Star Wars, Fable, Senua’s Saga and more. It is enough to ensure that virtual photographers have plenty to look forward to in the second half of 2023 and beyond.
