The DeanBeat: What to expect from the Summer Game Fest

Geoff Keighley‘s Summer Game Fest will have 30 to 40 game announcements including some surprises. The Summer Game Fest coming on June 9 has become a replacement for the usual trade event that signals to us the games that are coming in the next year or so.

In an interview with GamesBeat, Keighley said the fest will have a good and growing share of summer announcements in part because Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) isn’t taking place this year. The Entertainment Software Association (ESA, the publisher trade group that owns E3) canceled its expo in Los Angeles in part because of the pandemic. But the reality is also that Keighley’s all-digital Summer Game Fest, which last year garnered more than 25 million viewers, grabbed the best announcements.
