2022 is another year without E3 (there are plans for E3 2023) and some believe that this iconic video game event will never come back. But that does not mean that different companies and studios are going to be left without a space to promote their next releases. Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest, Sony’s State of Play, Microsoft, Bethesda, THQ Nordic and many more have special game presentations planned between June and August 2022 that will serve as a “replacement” to E3 so that we do not miss it or a little.
This article will be updated as new events are announced. The times indicated are for Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Mexico and are subject to possible changes.
Sony State of Play
This will be a presentation of approximately 30 minutes in which, in addition to revealing new games and giving new information about others already announced – with any luck, the release date for God of War: Ragnarok—, we will see news related to PSVR2.
Summer Game Fest 2022
This will be a special Geoff Keighley presentation filled with announcements, world premieres, news and updates from “the world’s top game developers”. You can learn more about it by following this link.
Day of the Devs 2022
All the news from the world of independent games.

This is another presentation focused on independent games from publishers like Neon Doctrine and Akupara.

PC Gaming Show
PC Gamer’s now traditional PC gaming showcase will be back to showcase loads of new titles and likely continue the bizarre narrative of last year’s showcase, in which a vengeful AI took over the show.

THQ Nordic 2022 Games Presentation
