Geoff Keighley, the host of Summer Game Fest Live, recently announced that there will be no last-minute surprises at this year’s event. While it has been a tradition at game showcase events to have a surprise announcement at the end, Keighley made it clear that this is not something that typically happens at his shows. He emphasized that a lot of thought went into the order of the reveals and trailers, ensuring that each game gets its moment to shine.
Keighley jokingly mentioned that fans hoping for Gabe Newell to walk out and announce Half-Life 3 at the end of the show will be disappointed. While it would be cool, Keighley confirmed that it’s not happening at Summer Game Fest 2024. This statement came as a disappointment to many fans who have been eagerly awaiting news on the highly anticipated game.
Summer Game Fest is taking the spot formerly held by E3, the renowned video game trade show that was permanently canceled last year. This shift has raised expectations for what will be revealed at the event, as E3 was once considered the premier event in the gaming industry. With the full reveal of Batman: Arkham Shadow, a VR game, on the lineup, fans are eager to see what other exciting announcements will be made at Summer Game Fest 2024.
Summer Game Fest 2024 is scheduled to take place on Friday, June 7 at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET. The physical event will be held in Hollywood Park, Los Angeles, and tickets are still available for purchase. While specific details about the event are still scarce, the promise of a full reveal of Batman: Arkham Shadow has generated significant interest among attendees and fans alike. The absence of last-minute surprises may disappoint some, but the lineup of games and trailers is sure to excite audiences.
Despite the lack of a last-minute surprise, Summer Game Fest 2024 promises to be an exciting event filled with highly anticipated game reveals and trailers. With the absence of E3, all eyes are on Summer Game Fest to deliver an unforgettable experience for both industry professionals and fans alike. Stay tuned for more updates and announcements as the event draws closer.
