Summer Game Fest will be continuing for its third consecutive year and is set to return in 2022, creator Geoff Keighley has announced. As was the case in 2020 and 2021, it will take place during the summer.

Summer Game Fest was originally created as one of the ways to replace E3. During the early stages of the covid pandemic in 2020, it was impossible to have large-scale gatherings and many companies were scrambling with their plans due to much uncertainty at the time. While Summer Game Fest was more of a hub for gaming events in 2020, Keighley put on a proper show this past June. It had some notable news and announcements such as Metal Slug Tactics, Two Point Campus, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance for Switch.

More information about Summer Game Fest 2022 will be shared at a later date. In the meantime, Keighley is preparing for The Game Awards 2021, which is happening in just under a week.
