The annual Summer Game Fest kicks off tomorrow at 9 p.m., and good Geoff Keighley promises a busy schedule.
The event that more or less buried E3 is de factoafter the PlayStation Showcase, like the opening of the usual festival of major video game events in June, with ” WORLD PREMIERE and other big announcements. Here’s what to know about Summer Game Fest and what to expect.
How to watch the Summer Game Fest
From June 8 to 13, the Summer Game Fest will broadcast live many conferences from all walks of life, from big publishers like Xbox or Capcom to a forum dedicated to independent games or the famous (and embarrassing?) annual PC Gaming Show.
But what crystallizes expectations the most around this event organized by Geoff Keighley is of course its opening ceremony, which is scheduled to last two hours. This will be held tomorrow at 9 p.m. (Paris time) on its official YouTube (accessible directly below) and Twitch channels, as well as on the myriad of associated social networks.
This will indeed be the scene of the biggest announcements, and Geoff Keighley himself has promised us that it will be the busiest ceremony in this area since the launch of the program in 2020.
What program for the Summer Game Fest
If we are to expect WORLD PREMIERE » and strong announcements in shambles, recent rumors and leaks suggest more important ones which will take place tomorrow evening. We can cite in particular as very potential candidates the extension ofElden Ring and news of the remakes of Metal Gear Solid 3of Silent Hill 2 (and potentially something new about Castlevania) as well as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
We should also finally know more about Phantom Libertythe long-awaited extension of Cyberpunk 2077. Knowing the strong bond of friendship between Geoff Keighley and Hideo Kojima, death stranding 2 could also come and pass a head.
After this opening ceremony, a whole program will occupy those interested until June 13th. The various conferences will be presented in the following order, at Paris time:
- Day of the Devs on June 8 at 11 p.m.;
- Conference (crazy) Devolver on June 8 at midnight;
- Tribeca Games Spotlight on June 9 at 9 p.m.;
- Wholesome Direct on June 10 at 6 p.m.;
- Future Games Show on June 10 at 7 p.m.;
- OTK Games Expo (presented by streamer Asmongold) on June 10 at 8 p.m.;
- Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct on June 11 at 7 p.m.;
- PC Gaming Show on June 11 at 10 p.m.;
- Capcom Showcase on June 13 at midnight.
A very busy program inherited from the Summer Game Fest, which takes advantage of the absence (death?) of E3 to position itself as the new flagship event of the summer as far as the video game industry is concerned. . In any case, count on us to cover over the next few days the ” WORLD PREMIERE » and other crispy announcements!
