If E3 has decided to skip 2022, this is not the case for Summer Game Fest, the conference of which will take place on June 9 at 8 p.m. And according to Geoff Keighley, expect to discover a whole bunch of games, many publishers having decided not to organize their own showcase this year. “Last year we had a number of events, but a lot of people were disappointed because they weren’t really conferences.he explained as part of a Twitter Spaces session relayed by Video Games Chronicle. I am thinking in particular of Take Two Interactive, Capcom, Square Enix and others. I think they understood that if you’re doing this kind of show, you have to have more than 30 minutes of content. However, sometimes they only had one or two games to show, which is insufficient for this type of event.“
Before adding:So I think things will change. I have an idea of what’s going to be next month, and I think people are going to be totally hyped. There are games that haven’t been released, and I think that’s due to the COVID-19 period that we’ve been going through. This caused delays because the development of these games had started during the pandemic. We all hope that many of them will be released soon.“Geoff Keighley also clarified that the goal was not to replace E3 but to offer a different approach. Finally, beyond the Summer Game Fest 2022 conference (which, according to the man, will benefit from the presence of fifteen guests), we can also imagine that the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase (which will take place on Sunday, June 12 at 7 p.m.) will be favored by quite a few publishers as well.
