New details about Summer Game Fest 2022 have been revealed, with the “core” of the event confirmed to be taking place between June 9 and June 12.
Geoff Keighley has previously confirmed that Summer Game Fest will kick off on June 9 at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 7pm BST, with a “live cross-industry showcase” containing “huge new game announcements, world premieres, special guests, and much more.”
However, in a new interview with Epic Games Store (via VGC) it’s revealed that the event is expected to run through to June 12 with “a number of big streams from developers and publishers” expected between. June 12 is, it’s worth noting, the day of the Xbox and Bethesda showcase which is scheduled to stream at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST.
While the core of Summer Game Fest is to take place across these four days, though, it looks like some announcements could fall outside of this period, with Keighley telling Epic Games Store, “I think everything's going to be really compact within a matter of weeks as the industry sort of represents itself to the wider world in June, with everyone sort of doing events”.
This follows the same sort of layout as last year’s show and certainly makes it more compact than the four-month inaugural Summer Game Fest in 2020 which, Keighley says, “was really just like a big learning exercise across the summer.”
Keighley adds that while he’s aware of “a prevailing sentiment that everyone likes everything kind of packed in two days, or three days, or something like that” that kind of brief window is “really hard to do because companies want to own specific days. So, I don't know if we're ever gonna go back to that old model of everything being sort of compacted into just a couple of days.”
