If you were eagerly anticipating a last-minute surprise to wrap up the Summer Game Fest Live event, you may be disappointed. Geoff Keighley, the host of the event, recently made it clear that there will be no such surprise this year. He acknowledged that while it is a tradition for game showcases to end with a bang, it is not the case for this year’s SGF. Keighley emphasized that their shows do not typically include last-minute surprises, unlike other gaming events he has hosted.
The Order of Reveals
Keighley did mention that a lot of thought went into the order of the reveals and trailers for the event. He explained that from the first game to the last game, organizers carefully planned out the lineup. Despite the absence of a surprise at the end, Keighley assured viewers that the placement of reveals was meticulously considered. He even joked about the notion of Gabe Newell stepping in to announce Half-Life 3, dismissing it as wishful thinking for this show.
The Summer Game Fest 2024 is scheduled to take place on Friday, June 7 at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET. This event has now taken the slot previously occupied by E3, the renowned video game trade show that was canceled last year. While specifics about the event remain scarce, it has been confirmed that Batman: Arkham Shadow, a VR game, will have a full reveal. Tickets for the physical event at Hollywood Park in Los Angeles are still available for purchase.
As the Summer Game Fest approaches, fans can anticipate a lineup of exciting game reveals and trailers. While the absence of a last-minute surprise may disappoint some, the careful curation of the event promises a memorable experience for attendees and viewers alike. With Geoff Keighley at the helm, the Summer Game Fest 2024 is shaping up to be a must-watch event in the world of gaming.
