Geoff Keighley has announced Summer Game Fest which will run from May-August (Australia’s Winter) and bring new game announcements, in-game events and game demos.
For those that don’t know, Geoff Keighley is the man behind The Game Awards, Gamescom Opening Night, E3 Judges Week among many, many other top-tier industry events.
Summer Game Fest will basically act as one larger event that brings together events from 2K, Actvision, Bandai Namco, Bethesda, Blizzard, Bungie, CD Projekt Red, EA, PlayStation, Private Division, Square Enix, Steam, WarnerBros and XBox.
Noticeable absentees are Nintendo and Ubisoft, but Geoff Keighley has said that this is just phase one, and with the event being four months long, it’s hard to not see these publishers taking part at some point during the event.
The first event that will be apart of Summer Game Fest is next Friday’s episode of Inside Xbox which will showcase third party games running on the Xbox Series X
