Fall’s crowded reveal calendar has another large date to circle: Fan Fest 2026: Fall Edition is scheduled to stream on Wednesday, October 14, with organizers promising 90 exclusive reveals spanning games, film, television, comics and collectibles. The main broadcast begins at 10 a.m. PDT / 1 p.m. EDT / 6 p.m. BST.
For game audiences, the significant number is not just the total volume. The currently announced program names 21 game-related titles, while the event is also set to include more than 10 brand-new game announcements. Those are not necessarily the same thing: a named title may receive a trailer, a first look, news or another form of update rather than be one of the newly unveiled games. That distinction matters for anyone hoping to calibrate expectations before the show.
The presentation will be available through its organizer’s site and channels including YouTube, Steam, Facebook, Twitch and X. Coverage starts earlier, on Monday, October 12, with additional announcements, game reveals and deeper looks planned throughout the week before the livestream.
The confirmed game lineup so far
The disclosed gaming roster runs from recognizable series to projects whose names alone leave plenty of questions unanswered. It includes established properties such as Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, Anno 117: Pax Romana, Arizona Sunshine, The Expanse: Osiris Reborn and Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2. Where Winds Meet is also among the games slated for a major reveal.
Here is the full list currently attached to the event:
- 9 Yin Sutra: Immortal
- Acornia: Mirror Worlds
- Acts of Blood
- Anno 117: Pax Romana
- Arizona Sunshine
- Checkmate Protocol
- For The Stars
- Golden Retriever Simple Life
- Hela: of Mice & Magic
- Over the Hill
- Silk & Sorrow
- Sker: The Bleeding Veil
- Splizards
- The Expanse: Osiris Reborn
- The Forge: Steel Frontier
- The Lich Wars
- There are No Ghosts at the Grand
- Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
- UvsU: You vs You
- Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2
- Where Winds Meet
The list offers breadth, but it does not yet specify what each appearance will contain. A “major reveal” can cover several very different things: a debut trailer, a release-date confirmation, an extended gameplay demonstration, a platform announcement, a new content update or a feature-focused presentation. Until the individual segments are detailed, it would be premature to treat every listed game as a launch-date announcement or a wholly new project.
What “more than 10 brand-new games” tells us—and what it does not
The promise of more than 10 new games is the biggest gaming hook in the schedule, but it comes with a useful boundary. It confirms a sizable slate of debuts somewhere in the program; it does not identify their developers, platforms, release windows, genres or whether any will be attached to the titles already named.
That ambiguity is common for a showcase built around a mix of premieres and updates. It lets viewers know there will be genuine announcements rather than only fresh footage for familiar games, while preserving the surprise of which projects are involved. Practically, the advance list is best read as a floor for what the program will cover, not a complete rundown of every game expected to appear.

For viewers, a sensible approach is to separate the schedule into three buckets:
- Known games with planned segments: these are the 21 named titles. A viewer already following one of them has a clear reason to watch, even though the exact form of its update is unconfirmed.
- Unannounced games: more than 10 new game reveals are promised, but no names have been provided yet.
- Event-wide material: trailers, interviews, first looks, news and giveaways are all part of the broader plan, with many of those items potentially focused outside games.
That structure also explains why the headline figure of 90 reveals should not be interpreted as 90 game announcements. The event is explicitly cross-media, and its announced slate reaches well beyond interactive releases.
A broader entertainment program around the game reveals
On the film side, planned reveals include Crawlers, Ebenezer, Whalefall and Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother. Television, comics and other programming will cover Bass X Machina, Blue Eye Samurai Season 2, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, Golden Axe, Mayfair Witches, The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon and VisionQuest. An IDW Publishing segment involving Godzilla and Sonic the Hedgehog is also on the docket.
That cross-media setup is especially notable for game fans in a few cases. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 shares a broader franchise space with games, while Golden Axe is a recognizable game name appearing in the TV, comics and more portion of the schedule. Still, the published program does not establish any particular connection between those appearances and new game announcements. They should be treated as separate reveals unless the broadcast says otherwise.
Celebrity appearances are expected from Austin Abrams, Josh Brolin, Paul Bettany, Liam McIntyre and James Spader, among others. Their inclusion signals an interview component alongside trailers and game news, but the announced information does not assign any individual guest to a particular game, show or film segment.
Why the October 12 lead-in is worth watching
The October 14 stream is the centerpiece, but the news cycle begins two days before it. The planned October 12 kickoff is expected to bring announcements, deep dives and game reveals across the week. In practical terms, that means viewers who only tune in for the main broadcast may encounter a program whose context has already been shaped by earlier information.
A deep dive generally means a more detailed look than a headline trailer: it may focus on a game’s systems, setting, characters or development goals. But the term has no single fixed format, and no project-specific deep dives have been detailed in advance here. Likewise, a first look signals newly shown material without automatically confirming a release date, gameplay footage or a particular platform.
The Steam distribution option makes the showcase relevant to PC players, though it does not by itself confirm that every announced game is coming to PC or Steam. Anyone looking for playable near-term projects can also keep an eye on the separate demo-driven event cycle; our roundup of five Steam Next Fest demos shows the difference between a reveal showcase and an event centered on downloads people can try immediately.
What last year’s fall event suggests
The prior fall edition likewise mixed films, TV and games across a week of news. Its gaming coverage included Dispatch, Terminator 2D: No Fate and The Outer Worlds 2, while its broader lineup included projects such as Predator: Badlands, Frankenstein, Good Fortune, The Witcher, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Deathwatch and The Mighty Nein.
That precedent reinforces the central expectation for 2026: this is a multi-day entertainment showcase rather than a single-platform publisher presentation. The value for players lies in the density of the announced game slate and the promise of additional debuts, while the uncertainty lies in the exact content and timing of each segment.
For now, the firm details are the dates, the streaming time and the announced names. More specifics are expected as the October 12 kickoff approaches, with the full Fall Edition livestream following on October 14.
