Summer Game Fest Confirmed for June 9th, Available on IMAX
Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest is on June 9th.
Keighley first announced the event’s return in March, shortly after E3 2022’s cancellation news was announced in March. Summer Game Fest kicks off at 11am Pacific Time/2pm.

Naturally, Keighley hasn’t announced which games will appear on the show, but the IMAX trailer montage featured upcoming games like Starfield, Sonic Frontiers, Star Wars Eclipse, and The Callisto Protocol. Before we get too excited, this video is about the sizzling reel and may not really represent what it’s going to be about.
E3 may not be taking place, but the schedule of summer gaming events is starting to take shape. Double Fine and Iam8bit’s indie-focused Day of the Devs kicks off June 9, The Tribeca Games Spotlight airs June 10, and the Xbox & Bethesda showcase recently confirmed for June 12.
