The highly anticipated Summer Game Fest is set to return to Los Angeles on June 7, promising to be a “fan-first celebration” of all things gaming. Hosted by Geoff Keighley, the event will take place at the YouTube Theater and will be live streamed to a global audience.
With the cancellation of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) this year, the Summer Game Fest is stepping up to fill the void. It will showcase new video game announcements, first-looks, and trailers, making it a must-attend event for anyone in the gaming industry. Public ticket sales for the showcase will begin on May 7, so mark your calendars and get ready to secure your spot.
Last year’s Summer Game Fest was a massive success, with over 34 million global livestreams and 3.8 million peak concurrent viewers. It featured exciting guests such as Ed Boon, Sam Lake, and Nicolas Cage, as well as exclusive looks and news from highly anticipated games like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Palworld.
But the Summer Game Fest is not just about the live showcase. There will be other livestreams and events throughout the festival, offering something for everyone. The full lineup of participants and activities will be announced closer to the date, so stay tuned for more exciting announcements.
One highlight of the Summer Game Fest is SGF Play Days, an invite-only media and influencer event where attendees can get hands-on gameplay with upcoming games. This exclusive event will take place from June 8 to June 10 and is produced by iam8bit.
To celebrate the creativity and diversity of the independent game community, the Summer Game Fest is partnering with Day of the Devs. Day of the Devs: SGF Edition will be presented online via livestream immediately following the live showcase on June 7. This event will feature more than a dozen incredible games from developers of all backgrounds, making it a must-watch for any gaming enthusiast.
The Summer Game Fest is a fantastic opportunity for brands to showcase their products and services to the gaming industry’s top leaders. If you’re interested in sponsorship opportunities, be sure to check out GamesBeat Summit for more information.
