The Electronic Software Association’s E3 conference has traditionally been the biggest event in gaming for the past 20 years, but complications resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and lack of sustained interest have led to theESA canceling E3two years in a row. And since gaming release news abhors a vacuum, former ESA member Geoff Keighley has taken the ESA’s place as the preeminent source of industry updates and reveals, hosting various events that draw some of gaming’s biggest companies. One such event is Summer Game Fest, which will put on its fourth showcase this June.

And fans finally know who will be participating, thanks to Summer Game Fest’s recent Twitter announcement.
Attendees include:
E3’s most recent conferences pivoted away from highlighting industry leaders, and Keighley appears to be rectifying that. Since its 2020 debut,Summer Game Fest has grown in esteem, with its 2022 showcase proving the most popular yet. And the event continues to increase in scope, as evidenced by the industry leaders who will participate this summer and by Keighley’s inaugural attempt at making it an in-person showcase.
Fans reacting to the guest list online are getting their hopes up for aResident Evilannouncement from Capcom – either some details about the upcomingResident Evil 9or perhaps finally aCode: Veronicaremake. And the grouping of both Disney and Square Enix has some fans itching for aKingdom Heartsreveal, though they probably can at least count on some new footage fromFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Fans also are hoping they’ll get more information on theLast of Usmultiplayer gamefrom Playstation.
