IGN Fan Fest: Fall Edition 2026 - Every Major Announcement, From Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 to 007 First Light on Switch 2

Over 90 exclusive reveals in a single day. That was the figure IGN put forward heading into its Fall Edition showcase on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, and by the time the main show signed off, the event had delivered its three tentpole moments: a new, dated trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 ahead of its October 20 Netflix premiere, a long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 release date for 007 First Light, and a three-name casting reveal for Blue Eye Samurai Season 2.

For newcomers: IGN Fan Fest is a recurring virtual showcase that typically runs a February edition and a Fall Edition, streamed across all IGN platforms. This year's Fall Edition was a one-day event, with a Countdown Show at 9am PT / 12pm ET preceding the main show at 10am PT / 1pm ET.

What follows covers the biggest game reveals, the movie and TV drops, and the smaller announcements worth bookmarking.

The Headliners: Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, 007 First Light, and Blue Eye Samurai

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 Gets Its Final Trailer

The day's most anticipated drop arrived early. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 received a new official trailer spotlighting four key characters: Roman Carax, D, Talia, and Weak. The footage teased two franchise fixtures, the Blackwall and the Biochip, and lands just six days before the season premieres on Netflix on October 20.

For viewers tracking the marketing cycle, this is a distinct asset from the "Cyberpsycho" sneak peek that surfaced in September. The Fan Fest trailer functions as the final pre-launch piece, the last major look before the season goes live.

Character context has also come into focus. Roman Carax is described as a kid with a taste for old-fashioned movies, while Talia Yang is tied to a cyberware-related criminal gang. The Japanese-language cast includes Momoka Terasawa as Roman, Akari Kito as Talia, Koki Uchiyama as D, and Kentaro Tone as Weak Kingsley.

007 First Light Dated for Nintendo Switch 2

The Switch 2 version of 007 First Light now has a firm date: March 18, 2027, confirmed by developer and publisher IO Interactive alongside Amazon MGM Studios. A new Switch 2 gameplay trailer accompanied the announcement.

The date represents a delay from the previously targeted summer 2026 window, with IO Interactive indicating additional time was allocated to performance on Nintendo's hardware. Critically, the delay affects only the Switch 2 version. The game already launched on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on May 27, 2026, meaning players on those platforms have been in the field for months.

IO Interactive also confirmed a GoldenEye-inspired pre-order bonus, a direct callback to GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo 64 - a nod clearly aimed at the franchise's long-serving fanbase.

Blue Eye Samurai Season 2 Adds Three Cast Members

Netflix's Blue Eye Samurai used the showcase to confirm three new additions for Season 2: Jonathan Pryce as Old Violet, Joel Kim Booster as Priest Ando, and Sherry Cola as Kuma. First-look character art for the new season was unveiled during the event.

The casting news positions Season 2 as one of the streamer's more closely watched animation projects, building on the first season's acclaimed run.

The Biggest Game Reveals Beyond the Headliners

Where Winds Meet Opens the Gates to Qingzhou

Where Winds Meet revealed Qingzhou, a new coastal region arriving October 15 as part of the Version 2.3 update. A gameplay trailer showcased the area during the broadcast, giving players a look at the expansion less than 24 hours before it goes live.

Hela: of Mice & Magic Confirms Co-Op Structure

A demo trailer for Hela: of Mice & Magic confirmed local split-screen co-op alongside support for up to four-player online co-op in the full game.

Trollheim: Gnomes Announced

Trollheim: Gnomes received an announcement trailer, described as a PC co-op PVE survival crafting game.

And then there was the oddball entry. Urine Trouble: PEE V PEE arrived with a trailer reveal, standing out even within a showcase known for genre variety.

These represent the notable entries from a slate that, per IGN, included more than 10 brand-new game announcements as part of the 90+ reveals.

Movie and TV Reveals

How to Rob a Bank

A sneak peek and release date for How to Rob a Bank anchored the film side of the showcase. The cast is stacked: Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravitz, Anna Sawai, Rhenzy Feliz, Christian Slater, Pete Davidson, and John C. Reilly.

Shudder's The Cycle

Shudder's The Cycle debuted a clip introduced by star Deborah Ann Woll, bringing a horror entry to the event's TV lineup.

VisionQuest

VisionQuest ranked among the marquee reveals, with the footage including Ultron's thoughts on Wanda - a moment likely to fuel speculation among Marvel followers.

While the 90+ reveals IGN promised spanned games, movies, TV, comics, and collectibles, this year's slate was dominated by the first three categories, with the showcase's headline moments concentrated in games and streaming series.

How to Watch and What IGN Fan Fest Is

For those catching up or planning to rewatch, here are the logistics.

The Fall Edition ran as a one-day event on Wednesday, October 14, 2026. The Countdown Show began at 9am PT / 12pm ET, followed by the main show at 10am PT / 1pm ET. Both streamed across all IGN platforms.

The format is worth clarifying, because IGN Fan Fest has shifted shapes over the years. The event typically runs a February edition and a Fall Edition, but the Fall Edition is a single-day show. The multi-day structure applied to the February 2025 edition, not to the Fall showcases.

For calibration, the 2025 Fall Edition (October 15, 2025) featured Predator: Badlands, The Outer Worlds 2, and The Witcher among 70+ titles. The 2026 Fall Edition pushed past that mark with 90+ reveals and more than 10 new game announcements, continuing the event's upward trajectory.

What Mattered Most

Ranked by immediate impact, the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 trailer sits at the top. It arrives six days before the October 20 Netflix launch, it names its four leads, and it gestures at the Blackwall and Biochip - the kind of franchise connective tissue that drives fan theorizing in the final stretch before release.

The 007 First Light Switch 2 date lands second, not because the delay is welcome, but because it resolves months of uncertainty. The March 18, 2027 date, the new gameplay trailer, and the GoldenEye-inspired pre-order bonus give Switch 2 owners something concrete to plan around.

Blue Eye Samurai Season 2's casting rounds out the podium. Three additions, led by Jonathan Pryce, plus first-look art, is a meaningful update for a series that has kept quiet since its debut.

Zoom out, though, and the bigger story is structural. Over 90 reveals in a single day and more than 10 new game announcements place IGN Fan Fest's Fall Edition among the more densely packed showcases of the year, though it remains smaller in scope than tentpoles like Summer Game Fest or The Game Awards. Even so, the Fall Edition's continued growth positions it as a fixture on the showcase calendar rather than a filler event between larger conventions.
