Alright, so it's not 2 weeks until Gencon, just yet, but it is 2 weeks until I fly to New York, then onto the 'Con so close enough...
There was lot's of stuff anounced this week so I'll see if I can do a proper re-cap...
Palladium have announced that they will be selling copies of Robotech Tactics at the 'con and they will be showing of some of the expansion boxes... hopefully they will be sending it to Kickstarter backers soon as I'm waiting for a ton of stuff to come.... linky: http://www.palladiumbooks.com/
Corvus Belli have announced the contents of their new 2 player starter set... everywhere but on their actual website... a bit of a pain really, but it looks like it and a couple of exclusive mini's will be available at the 'con. Beasts of War have an unboxing video up on their website: http://www.beastsofwar.com/infinity/unboxing-operation-icestorm/ looks cool...
Bushido the game will be making an appearance at Gencon, GCT Studios are calling on reviewers to check out Rise of the Kage and they've listed a couple of deals on their website, check it out here: http://www.bushido-thegame.com/content/gen-con-calling-all 
Catalyst game labs have announced that they will be selling their new co-operative deck building game Shadowrun: Crossfire at Gencon and have it listed up for pre-order with an expected release of 27th of August. details here: http://www.catalystgamelabs.com/2014/07/22/shadowrun-crossfire-street-date-of-august-27th/
Onyx Path Publishing, current publishers of World of Darkness products have quite the blog post up, which I won't bother reviewing, looks like they're going to be doing all their upcoming product announcements, there, at the con... http://theonyxpath.com/all-gen-con-all-the-time/
Mantic Games haven't put up any Gencon specific news but they have announced they've got a Kickstarter launching on Monday, Dungeon Saga, looks interesting, check it out here: http://manticblog.com/
Games and Gears will be selling an exclusive resin terrain piece at the con. You must pre-order it though and it will be available for pick up there. http://www.gamesandgears.co.uk/ I would also expect we'll be seeing some of the new battle boards that they Kickstated earlier this year.
Hawk Wargames, makers of Drop Zone commander, unfortunately don't have any big con announcements, they will be running a tournament though, details here: http://hawkwargames.cmail2.com/t/ViewEmail/j/D8A49692BC263A6E#toc_item_5
Plaid Hat Games don't have too much to announce just yet by the looks of things but they did say that their new meta-cooperative game Dead of Winter will be availbale in limited quantities at their booth, details here: http://www.plaidhatgames.com/news/392
Smirk and Dagger games will be showcasing their latest, Student Bodies at the con. Apparently they will only be bringing 150 copies so it'll be get in quick before they all sell out. https://www.facebook.com/pages/SmirkDagger/310592125355
I couldn't find any interesting news from Soda Pop miniatures, however they did announce that Relic Knights was available for retail sales from the 10th of July so expect to see lots of those there. To be honest, I think the most interesting thing to see at their booth will probably be all the fights breaking out from angry Kickstarter backers, they've had a few less than stellar Kickstarter campaigns recently... http://sodapopminiatures.com/
Dream Pod 9 have announced their Gencon exlusive miniature for this year, it will be a Northern Headhunter gear holding a CNCS Banner, check out their website for more details: http://www.dp9.com/content/sneak-peek-our-gen-con-2014-miniature
And that's it for the moment.... still haven't heard from Wyrd yet but they did say they'll do an anouncement just prior to the con, http://wyrd-games.net/community/topic/101922-wyrd-at-gen-con-2014/page-1.
I'll try for one more update before I fly out but no guarantees....
