Summer Game Fest is a new ‘all-digital consumer’ showcase for the lockdown era

<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/summer-game-fest-is-a-new-all-digital-consumer-showcase-for-the-lockdown-era.jpg" width="646" height="363" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>The Game Awards producer and host Geoff Keighley has announced a new “all-digital consumer” showcase event called Summer Game&nbsp;Fest.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Seemingly looking to fill the void left by the coronavirus-related cancellations of annual conferences like E3, Summer Game&nbsp;Fest is&nbsp;being pitched a “multi-month global festival” built around “breaking news, in-game events, and free playable content.”</p>
<p>The new event will run from May to August 2020, and will feature updates from a huge array of&nbsp;companies including 2K, Activision, CD Projekt Red, Bethesda, EA, Microsoft, Sony Interactive Entertainment, and Square Enix.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Specific event details will be shared by each company over the coming weeks, although it’s been confirmed that&nbsp;all Summer Game Fest programming will be available to watch on major streaming channels like Facebook, Mixer, Twitch, YouTube, and more.</p>
<p>Keighley will drop in and out of the showcase to host special pre and post shows for “flagship publisher events,” while production&nbsp;company iam8bit — which <a href="https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/359192/E3_loses_creative_directors_iam8bit_months_before_show.php">stepped down as the creative director&nbsp;of&nbsp;E3 2020</a> before its cancellation — will produce a showcase highlighting upcoming games.&nbsp;</p>
<p>“In these uncertain and challenging times, it’s more important than ever that video games serve as a common and virtual connection point between us all,” commented Keighley. “SGF is an organizing principle that promises fans a whole season of video game news and other surprises from the comfort of home.”</p>
<p>You can sign up for updates over on the <a href="https://www.summergamefest.com">official Summer Game&nbsp;Fest website</a>, and check out the full ‘phase one’ lineup below.</p>
