For its third straight year, Summer Game Fest is celebrating the upcoming projects from developers and publishers around the games industry, all headlined by a live show hosted by Geoff Keighley. Summer Game Fest 2022 already began with the most recent PlayStation State of Play featuring the reveal of a Resident Evil 4 remake and a new look at Final Fantasy XVI, but Keighley's presentation was highly anticipated after the excitement it generated last year.
