E3 as we know it might be dead, but Summer Game Fest is still going strong with its scheduled events in June. For five years now, Geoff Keighley has been organizing and hosting the video-game-centered platform to get developers and publishers a central location to have their reveal events. Summer Game Fest itself has its own massive show, and tonight, that kickoff event is going live with a whole bunch of announcements, updates, and more.
The Summer Game Fest showcase hosted by Keighley is scheduled to go live at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 6. The live show is being hosted at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles and is slated to run around two hours. To watch it online, viewers can tune into the show's YouTube (4K at 60 FPS), Twitch, Twitter, and Steam pages.
Separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well.
Not much information has been released regarding what gaming fans can expect to see at the event, but there are some clues and teasers to follow. Hideo Kojima is attending the event like always, meaning Death Stranding 2: On The Beach should get a brand-new trailer, unless it's a misdirect of some kind.
The next entry in the Mafia franchise, The Old Country, the Soulslike action RPG Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, a surprise from the Splitgate 2 developer 1047 Games, a Fortnite-focused event from Epic Games, and new content for Atomic Heart should appear during the show. Being a rather long showcase, there should be plenty of other surprise reveals and announcements on stage, especially from major publishers like Ubisoft and 2K, which do not have their own dedicated summer events.
Right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4pm PT | 7pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Later in the day, Devolver Digital and IO Interactive are hosting their own showcases. Here's the full calendar.
