What To Expect At Summer Game Fest
Geoff Keighley has been putting on The Game Awards since 2014, offering world exclusive premiers, new title announcements, and interviews with famous developers. Although his name isn’t on there, we can hope to see Geoff’s best friend Hideo Kojima come along at some point, especially with all of the rumors going around about a possible sequel to Death Stranding. There have been confirmed announcements and many surprises in store for the fans so we can only wait patiently to see what kind of games will be unleashed upon the world on June 9th.
With this many publishers and developers on board, it’s an exciting time. Alongside the upcoming State Of Play, it’s an amazing time to be a gamer, and now that the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S are starting to take strides to unleash their true potential, we can only expect to see some truly mindblowing experiences shown off at this event.
