Pretty much all of these are brand-new series, although we're not quite sure whether Castlevania: Nocturne should count as such. Still, seeing all these awesome trailers really got us hyped for final release, although for some of these shows, we might have to wait for quite a while.
For Devil May Cry and Tomb Raider we don't even have a release date, yet, which might imply that they will release some time in 2024, or even 2025.
Here's a list including the release dates we know so far:
Castlevania: Nocturne | September 27 |
Devil May Cry | Coming Soon |
Tomb Raider: the Legend of Lara Croft | Coming Soon |
Sonic Prime | Coming Soon |
Captain Laserhawk | October 19 |
Blue Eye Samurai | November 3 |
