Summer Game Fest confirms its return in 2024
Geoff Keighley, the presenter and external face of both Summer Game Fest and The Game Awards, has stated via his personal Twitter account that everyone will be able to enjoy a new iteration of his well-known summer novelty event next year.
At the moment, no further information is known about the upcoming event; however, if the organizers of Summer Game Fest 2023 want to do something similar next year, it is possible in a few months, we will begin to know the event’s details.
What does it mean that the Summer Game Fest 2024 will have a similar format to the one held this year? At the very least, all event fans will be able to enjoy an opening gala which will be held in person; in this way, the event organizers will kick off the rest of the events of the different companies that will be present. But that’s not all; people will also be able to enjoy Play Days; these days allow the specialized press to test some of the projects being announced at the event.
After a record-setting 2023, we are excited to share some news:#SummerGameFest will return in June 2024, including our live showcase event hosted by @geoffkeighley and #SummerGameFest Play Days from @iam8bit

The public’s reception of Summer Game Fest 2023 has been such that the organizers have announced that records have been broken.
Summer Game Fest 2023 was such a success
Another point alluded to in Geoff Keighley’s brief tweet is that this year’s Summer Game Fest was a success: the word “record-breaking” at the beginning of the message suggests that the organization is very satisfied with how things went in this 2023 without E3 and the results of the event. However, it is still too early to know the details and figures that allow Geoff Keighley to ensure that the event has broken some records; we may know each of those details quickly. Geoff Keighley assures that the company has succeeded, and the statistics may confirm it.
As far as announcements are concerned, we can say that the Summer Game Fest 2023 has been a success. Let’s remember that all the announcements have been impressive. During the opening gala alone, we learned about projects such as Sonic Superstars; we also saw the first gameplay of long-awaited games such as Final Fantasy VII Rebirth or Alan Wake 2. On the other hand, we learned the release date of Spider-Man 2, among many other details.
