It’s not the first time Geoff Keighley, host of Summer Game Fest, has introduced the first-person, PVE, open-world survival crafting game, Nightingale. He first revealed the title during The Game Awards 2021. But today, he and developer Inflexion Games showed off the studio’s first title with a brand new trailer.
