Earlier last month, Geoff Keighley surprised us by announcing that Summer Game Fest will return this year, using the absence of the E3 2022 celebration. However, the well-known moderator did not offer us any details beyond the summer. Something that has finally changed, with the announcement of the official date of this event, which will take place next Thursday, June 9.
With Keighley leading the event, this is expected to be the case this year Numerous game announcements, world premieres and several new perspectives on some upcoming releases this year and next. In addition, this presentation will be followed by the celebration of Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition, in which the premieres of the video game scene will be complemented by a special piece for independent games.
Some events that we can watch live on major broadcasting platforms and social networks such as YouTube, Twitch, TwitterFacebook or official event website.
Yes good none of the participants has been confirmed at this timeit would not be a surprise to see the participation of many, if not all, companies present last year, such as 2K, Activision Blizzard, Amazon Games, Capcom, Deolver Digital, EA, Epic Games, Frontier, Bandai Namco, Riot Games, Sega, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Tencent and even PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox.
Therefore, it is worth mentioning The secret is usually one of the strengths of the Summer Game Fest, which last year managed to surprise us all with great announcements, such as the first trailer with Elden Ring gameplay along with the release date, which is a bomb that aims to become the game of the year as early as 2022; in addition to other high quality announcements such as Lost Ark, Death Stranding: Director’s Cut or Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, among others.
As for what we could expect for this year, again we can only rely on speculation, although there are undoubtedly several names that are already resonating strongly. And that’s only yesterday Naoki Yoshida (better known as Yoshi-P), surprised the audience of Final Fantasy XVI in an unrelated interview he announced the final trailer was readytogether with the report that, despite the factors which forced the release of the this one is ready to fall “soon”. Statements that, along with the fact that the title was due to be announced in the spring, make us think he will be one of the big protagonists of the Summer Game Fest.
On the other hand, we can exclude some announcements such as Breath of the Wild 2 or the rest of Nintendo’s games, which aim to save their main announcements as part of Nintendo Direct’s own events.
