Dragon Age, Monster Hunter, Alan Wake and More: What To Expect From Summer Game Fest 2024
While the sting of E3’s death can still be felt, June remains a massive month for video game reveals, announcements, and world premieres. Things have already begun but the next big swing of the season comes from Summer Game Fest. Unlike the long-running, exclusive-focused streams from platform holders, Summer Game Fest features announcements from a wide range of developers and publishers of varying sizes.
