In light of the cancellation of E3 2020, gamers around the world have wondered how the best and latest in the industry could take their time to shine. Don’t worry, as industry icon Geoff Keighley is participating in the Summer Game Fest.
A new “industry-wide video game celebration” taking place from May to August, we can expect “breaking news, in-game events, and free playable content” from major and smaller companies over the months.
Keighley will play the role of presenter and curator, with pre and post shows supported by players like some greats.
They include 2K, Activision Publishing, Bandai Namco Entertainment, Bethesda, Blizzard Entertainment, Bungie, CD Projekt Red, Digital Extremes, Electronic Arts, Microsoft Xbox, Private Division, Riot Games, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Steam, Square Enix and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment .
“In these uncertain and challenging times, it is more important than ever that video games serve as a common, virtual point of connection between all of us. SGF is an organizing principle that promises fans a whole season of video game news and other surprises from the comfort of home, “Keighley said.
The events will be broadcast through various channels, such as Facebook, Mixer, Twitch, Twitter and, of course, YouTube.
Details on specific events will be provided by the editors themselves, and amplified through Summer Game Fest. Platforms like Steam and Xbox will also offer demos and trials for their games in limited time frames. The Steam Games Festival: Summer Edition will begin this June 9 and 14.
And finally, on August 24, Keighley will present and produce Gamescom: Opening Night Live, which will mark the end of the Summer Game Fest.
