It’s that time of year again. With E3 done and gone, Summer Game Fest has taken its place, and it always makes for a busy few days in gaming.
The centerpiece of the event is SGF Live on June 6th at 5PM ET, a keynote hosted by Geoff Keighley that, like The Game Awards, is packed with new game announcements as well as updates and trailers for games we already know about. But there are also a handful of other smaller showcases sprinkled throughout the week, including the Access-Ability Summer Showcase (June 6th at 11AM ET), Day of the Devs (June 6th at 7PM ET), the Wholesome Direct (June 7th at 12PM ET), and the PC Gaming Show (June 8th at 3PM ET). And that’s not including standalone events from PlayStation and Xbox.
It’s a lot to keep track of, and you can follow along with the most important updates right here.
The fest begins soon.
Summer Game Fest Live, the centerpiece of the new incarnation of E3, kicks off at 5PM ET, and you can watch along right here.
The Access-Ability Summer Showcase returns with the latest in accessible games
Now in its third year, the Access-Ability Summer Showcase is back to redress the lack of meaningful accessibility information across the ongoing video game showcase season. As we see progress broadly slow down, it’s also a timely reminder of the good work that’s still happening in pursuit of greater accessibility in gaming.
“At a time where we are seeing a slowdown in accessibility adoption in the AAA games space,” organizer Laura Kate Dale says, “we’re showing that there are interesting accessible games being made, games with unique and interesting features, and that being accessible is something that can bring an additional audience to purchase and play your games.”
Summer Game Fest might have a lot of games.
Host Geoff Keighley shared a list of more than 60 “partners” that will be part of Summer Game Fest, including Annapurna Interactive, CD Projekt Red, Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox. And the list is apparently just “Round 1.”
