Summer Game Fest Confirmed For June 9 And You Can Watch It In IMAX

Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest has got a date, and it’s June 9. 

Keighley first announced the event’s return in March, almost immediately after word of E3 2022’s cancellation made the rounds. Summer Game Fest begins at 11 am Pacific/2 p.m. Eastern, including a live kick-off show. 

In addition to streaming everywhere, Summer Game Fest can be watched live in IMAX theaters for the first time. The tickets go on sale next week. The new partnership extends to Keighley’s other big event, The Game Awards, which will also be presented in IMAX this December. 

Naturally, Keighley hasn’t announced what games will appear at the show, but the IMAX trailer montage featured upcoming games such as Starfield, Sonic Frontiers, Star Wars Eclipse, and The Callisto Protocol. You should be aware that the footage shown is just a sizzle reel, and it may not show what you will see.

E3 might not take place, but it is starting to look like the schedule for summer gaming events. Double Fine and Iam8bit’s indie-focused Day of the Devs kicks off on June 9, The Tribeca Games Spotlight airs on June 10, and the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase was recently confirmed for June 12.
