In a time of “stay at home” orders, social distancing, and event cancellations, producer Geoff Keighley is taking steps to unite the video game industry and community of players, digitally, through his newest creation entitled, the Summer Game Fest.
Unlike most events however, this won’t just be a one time livestream, but rather a slew of news, announcements, and special events happening throughout the summer months.
What is the Summer Game Fest?
Summer Game Fest is a new, all-digital way to unite the gaming community for a season of video game news and events from game developers and publishers. SGF will feature digital news events, playable content, in-game events, and other surprises you can experience for free from the comfort of home.
