It’s that time of the year, folks. The Summer Game Fest 2024 is about to kick off today, and it’s shaping up to be a two-hour-long spectacle packed with new game trailers and updates. So, let’s see what exactly to expect and how and where you can catch all the action.
What Time Does it Start and Where to Watch?
Mark your calendars for Friday, June 7th, because that’s when Summer Game Fest is set to start. The show kicks off at 5 PM ET / 2 PM PT. But wait, there’s more! Right after Summer Game Fest, we’ve got the indie game showcase, Day of the Devs, followed by Devolver Digital’s game presentation at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT.
No need to scramble for links, guys. Summer Game Fest will be streaming live on YouTube and Twitch.
What to Expect?
Alright, let’s manage those hype levels. Geoff Keighley, the host of Summer Game Fest, has already tried to temper expectations a bit. During a Q&A on Twitch, he mentioned that this year’s event will focus mainly on already announced stuff. So, don’t expect some enormous reveals for games that are still years away. Sorry, no Grand Theft Auto VI, The Wolf Among Us 2, or Kingdom Hearts IV trailers this time.
Monster Hunter Wilds, the action RPG Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, and Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is all set to make an appearance. Plus, there could be updates on Palworld, that crazy Pokemon-like game with guns, and a Among Us animated series trailer. And knowing these events, there’s always the chance for a few surprises.
My Take
Look, I know we all want those jaw-dropping announcements, but I’m digging this approach. Focusing on games that are coming out soon is a good move. We’ve been burned too many times by teasers for games that get delayed for years. Plus, there’s still a lot to get excited about. Monster Hunter Wilds? Yes, please. And I’m inquisitive to see what Devolver Digital has up its sleeve.
