About the summer game festival
What is Summer Game Fest?
No E3 this year, but we can still count on another world-class event: the Summer Game Fest, a big show dedicated to announcing video games that will come this year or the following years. In 2020, journalist and presenter Geoff Keighley launched this now essential festival for the first time. Last year the show featured stunning images of the Elden Ring; So the third iteration inevitably raises high expectations.
When does Summer Game Fest 2022 start?
The Summer Game Fest takes place this Thursday, June 9th at 8pm. The show will again be followed by a Day of the Devs session dedicated to the independent scene.
