Geoff Keighley stopped being involved with E3 a few years back, but The Game Awards presenter swiftly returned to Summer events in 2020 with the launch of Summer Games Fest, a lengthy event comprised of multiple showcases from publishers across the industry. Next year, E3 is returning, but Summer Game Fest will kick off just a few days before.
Summer Game Fest is returning on the 8th of June 2023, promising a big showcase with new game announcements, trailers and even a few live gameplay demos. While the first Summer Game Fest was spread out over several months, this year's event was much more streamlined, with the main announcements taking place in early June, with a few more announcements spread out over the following weeks.
With Summer Game Fest kicking off on the 8th of June, it'll pose as early competition to E3, which is also returning next year after taking 2022 off. Next year's E3 will run from the 13th to the 16th of June, so it will be a very packed month for gaming news.
KitGuru Says: We still don't know what studios or publishers will be involved with Summer Game Fest or E3 next year. Once those schedules are announced, we should have a good idea as to how big next year's events will be.
