Summer Game Fest Showcase Coming on June 9, Will Be Shown in US IMAX Theaters

Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest showcase will be streamed live on Thursday, June 9. In addition, it will be shown live in select IMAX theaters.

The Summer Game Fest showcase will be shown at 11am Pacific / 2pm Eastern / 7pm UK (that’s June 10 at 4am AEST). The show will be a “live cross-industry showcase” featuring game reveals and once again tying in a separate Day of the Devs indie game showcase.

Keighley added that both the Summer Game Fest showcase and his Game Awards event will partner with IMAX this year, seeing both events shown live in theaters. “That’s right,” Keighley wrote. “Watch all the reveals, surprises and announcements with your friends in select IMAX theaters for full-scale immersion.”

“With #SummerGameFest we are building a next-generation global event — decentralized physical events for the community in IMAX, big showcases from us + partners, play at home content, and much more!”

As previously announced, IGN will be carrying and covering Keighley’s Summer Game Fest as part of our Summer of Gaming programming. More details to come.

Last year’s Summer Game Fest: Kickoff Live event included the first Elden Ring gameplay trailer and a release date, the announcement of a Death Stranding Director’s Cut, and much more. You can check out everything announced in that show for a sense of the scale of annoucnements to come.
