Keighley mentioned he decided to do the fest once more following speaking with publishers, some of whom didn’t have adequate titles to carry an occasion of their personal.

“This is the best approach with a showcase across all the companies,” Keighley mentioned. “We are trying to condense a lot into one big day.”

Not portion of E3

Keighley noted that the Summer Game Fest is not affiliated with E3, which is also preparing many days of gaming events in its very first-ever digital broadcast occasion. E3 was canceled last year since of the pandemic, and it led to what GamesBeat Jeff Grubb calls the Summer Game Mess, which is not to be confused with the Summer Game Fest.

Keighley warned that fans must not get also excited, as it is accurate that the pandemic has delayed some games and pushed back some announcements of large titles.

Sadly, Nintendo is not on the list of game organizations attending the Summer Game Fest. But it is going to be at E3. Keighley mentioned the kick-off occasion will not be the only Summer Game Fest occasion, as more announcements may well come later.
