Summer Game Fest’s back, with big announcements, wall-to-wall news, and world premieres

Sharing is caring!

Summer Game Fest 2023 will feature two hours of wall-to-wall video game news, updates, and world premieres, all streamed live around the world and – for the first time in four years – it’s all happening in front of an in-studio audience.

Taking place at the YouTube Theater in L.A. on June 8 at 3 PM ET, host and producer Geoff Keighley promises a memorable show. He just doesn’t know what exactly will be this year’s big moment.

Despite serving up hours of premiers, trailers, and news about a wide-swathe of video games each year, traditionally the Summer Game Fest’s annual outing can often be boiled down to one or two games.

Easily the most memorable Summer Game Fest to date – 2020’s – featured more than 40 games. But what everyone remembers is that spectacular gameplay trailer for Elden Ring, which also revealed the game’s release date.

While last year’s show may not have had its own Elden Ring moment, it did deliver a trifecta of Naughty Dog news with the remake of The Last of Us, the unveiling of a multiplayer game set in The Last of Us universe, and new details about the HBO series based on the game.

The big news for this year’s show is still a mystery, even to Keighley.
