Here is the comprehensive guide to the Summer Game Fest 2024 – welcome! Gamers rejoice—the summer’s most anticipated event is back and better than ever. There is something for everyone at this year’s festival, regardless of experience level or inexperience. Let’s explore what to anticipate from this exciting extravaganza.
What is Summer Game Fest?
Summer Game Fest used to be a rival to the massive June-based E3 gaming conference. A large livestream opens the event, which is hosted and organized by Geoff Keighley (of Game Awards fame). After that, there are exclusive game previews and other announcements. Summer Game Fest, however, has now taken over as the de facto replacement for E3, as the event was officially declared fully and permanently dead by organizers ESA at the end of 2023, after an astounding 28 years.

Along with companion events like the Women-Led Games show and Day of the Devs, the event will take place at YouTube Theatre in Los Angeles. After E3 was permanently canceled last year, Summer Game Fest 2024 looks to be the big gaming event of June 2024. The event, which is hosted by Geoff Keighley, the man behind The Game Awards, includes sneak peeks, teasers, and first looks at some of the most anticipated games of the upcoming year and beyond.
You can watch the two-hour showcase on Twitch and YouTube. Attractive promises of new game announcements, first looks, and captivating trailers will be present in the event’s main showcase. Several developers, publishers, and studios will present their most recent games at the event. The next installment in a well-liked franchise is being teased by 2K Games, and there are strong indications that it might be BioShock4.
Baldur’s Gate 3, Palworld, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, First Descendant, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Delta Force: Hawk Ops, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Batman: Arkham Shadow Meta Quest are currently scheduled to be featured in the showcase.
At its PlayStation State of Play event, which was held recently by Sony, some exciting news and announcements were made. However, a well-known leaker named Midori predicts that Sony will be releasing more first-party games at Summer Game Fest. Summer Game Fest has over 55 confirmed partners, so expect an endless stream of exciting announcements and juicy details about upcoming games.
