Summer Games Fest is a gaming showcase created and hosted by Geoff Keighley, who also hosts and produces The Game Awards. Like The Game Awards and E3, Summer Game Fest features upcoming game announcements and large-scale updates from developers.
Today, Keighley not only announced that the event formally kicks off on June 9, taking the completely canceled E3 conference’s usual summer spot, but he also revealed that he’s taking the event to the next level with an IMAX theater partnership. Starting next week, on May 12, anyone interested in watching the event in a theater with a possible crowd can purchase tickets for the show. What Keighley seems to be aiming for is a small-scale, in-person experience similar to typical E3 press conferences.
