Square Enix
For some reason Square Enix devoted at least half of their slot to this Guardians of the Galaxy single-player game, with a head nod to some more stuff being added to the Avengers multiplayer co-op game. The former looks much better than the latter. They also had a couple of surprises up their sleeve with a new Final Fantasy spin-off action slasher.

Babylon’s Fall (Platinum Games, GaaS model)
Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin (2022, PS5 Demo OUT NOW)
Nintendo
Nintendo popped in right at the end for a cherry on the top of the long weekend's reveals. A little taster of the Breath of the Wild sequel (which still doesn't really have a name, and they're not going with BOTW2 despite how we all talk about it), the resurrection of a Metroid game thought long dead for more than 15 years, and another fighting game crossover with Smash Ultimate.
