This was a trailer week with one obvious heavyweight and several useful counterweights. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 gave the release calendar a giant October marker, but the week had more texture than one giant reveal. Mina the Hollower finally arrived, Story of Seasons expanded its remake to more consoles, The Adventures of Elliot kept making Team Asano's action RPG case and Wuthering Waves put a date on its next crossover-heavy update.
The smaller trailers helped the week breathe. Mistfall Hunter had the kind of gameplay-focused deep dive extraction games need before beta, Wish Upon A Llama made a cozy publishing partnership look more specific than a logo swap and Stray's Switch 2 trailer was a clean reminder of why BlueTwelve's cat adventure keeps travelling. Here are the trailers to catch up on this week.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 makes October look loud
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is the week's biggest reveal by a distance. Activision and Infinity Ward have dated the next Modern Warfare for October 23, 2026, with confirmed versions for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2. The official Call of Duty announcement also says it will skip PS4 and Xbox One.
The trailer puts the campaign around a war on the Korean Peninsula, with Captain Price operating from the shadows as the conflict spreads to New York, Paris, Mumbai and other locations. We covered the reveal and release date in more detail, but the trailer itself is the cleanest signal that this year's Call of Duty is trying to pair a current-gen break with a more grounded Modern Warfare pitch.
Mina the Hollower launches with gothic bite
Mina the Hollower has been easy to describe as Yacht Club Games' next game after Shovel Knight, but the launch trailer makes it feel less like a legacy check and more like a proper new test. Mina burrows under hazards, lashes enemies with the Nightstar whip and moves through compact gothic spaces that look closer to Game Boy Color adventure design than NES platforming.
Yacht Club's press page describes a cursed island, sidearms, trinkets, beastly bosses and music from Jake Kaufman. Steam lists a May 28 PC release because of store timing, while Yacht Club's materials and console pages use May 29. Our release spotlight goes deeper on why this launch matters for the studio.
Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar opens on PlayStation and Xbox
Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is not a brand-new farming game, but this week's launch trailer gives the remake a useful second life. The official Story of Seasons site lists Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam from August 27, 2025, with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S arriving May 28, 2026.
Grand Bazaar's hook is still sharper than another generic cozy farm loop. Zephyr Town's market has dried up, so crops, animals, crafted goods and windmill products feed directly into the weekly bazaar. The trailer works because it sells the stall as more than a side activity: the farm, town economy and relationship-building all run through that public square.
The Adventures of Elliot gives its demo a better reason to exist
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales has a clearer pitch now than it did at its first Switch 2 showing. Square Enix is still leaning on HD-2D craft, but the new trailer gives more space to real-time combat, weapon switching and Faie's support abilities as Elliot moves across different ages.
The Steam page now lists a Prologue Demo with save data that carries into the full game, which launches June 18 on Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. We covered the demo and gameplay details earlier, and the new Nintendo upload is still worth watching because it shows how Team Asano's style changes when battles are no longer turn-based.
Mistfall Hunter shows the extraction loop before beta
Mistfall Hunter needed a trailer like this. Extraction games live or die on the loop between risk, loot and escape, and the PlayStation deep dive explains the basics without hiding behind mood. Bellring Games' dark fantasy ARPG sends Gyldhunters into Weavereach to fight monsters, rival players and the map itself before finding a way back with their haul.
The Steam page lists Mistfall Hunter for July 2026 and describes solo play or three-player squads, six classes, weapon stances, talent trees and PvPvE combat. PlayStation's trailer description adds one timely detail: the initial PlayStation open beta begins June 14 at 6 PM PT.
Wuthering Waves dates The Dream Not Dreamed
Wuthering Waves has had a busy spring, and Version 3.4 now has a date. Kuro Games' official site lists The Dream Not Dreamed for June 8 (UTC+8), while a separate official post says the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners collaboration version goes live the same day with collab quests, events and Convene events.
That makes this trailer more than another stylish gacha montage. Wuthering Waves players have been waiting for the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners crossover since Kuro started naming Lucy and Rebecca, and we previously covered the crossover roster details. Version 3.4 is the point where that anime tie-in finally becomes the live update's main attraction.
Wish Upon A Llama turns cozy breeding into the pitch
Wish Upon A Llama could have disappeared inside the crowded cozy-life-sim pile, but the Whitethorn Games partnership trailer has a nicely specific center. Millionhare Studios is making a ranching RPG about restoring the bond between Llama Town's people and animals, with breeding, adoption, townsfolk relationships and family life wrapped into the same community loop.
The Steam page lists a 2026 release and promises more than 50 animal breeds, inherited traits, companion walks, gift-giving, minigames and 21 dateable characters. The trailer's softer pace is the point. After a week of shooters, extraction tension and crossover spectacle, this is the trailer for players looking at small routines and social systems instead of spectacle.
Stray still knows how to sell one great premise
Stray's Switch 2 launch trailer is brief, but it does the job because the original premise remains unusually clean. A lost cat explores a decaying neon cybercity, annoys robots, solves environmental puzzles and slowly uncovers what happened beneath the city lights.
Annapurna's official Stray page credits BlueTwelve Studio and describes the game as a third-person cat adventure built around the cat, the drone B12 and a city full of droids and dangerous creatures. Stray has already been through PlayStation, PC, Xbox and Switch, so the new trailer is not a reveal. It is still a strong platform reminder for anyone waiting to play it on Nintendo's new hardware.
The week in trailers
Modern Warfare 4 gave the week its headline, but the healthier sign was how many of the other trailers had a practical reason to exist. Mina the Hollower and Story of Seasons were launch markers, Elliot and Mistfall Hunter were demo or beta signals and Wuthering Waves put a date on a live-service crossover players have been tracking for months.
That mix is what made the week work. The big reveal brought scale, while the rest of the lineup gave players near-term things to try, revisit or wishlist before June fills up again.
