Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest has been given a start date following the official cancelation of E3 2022. After the ESA canceled the in-person part of E3 2022 earlier this year, many began speculating that the event would move to an online-only showing. Some still believed the show as a whole was in doubt, but now it has been officially canceled. The show is expected to return in 2023 with both a physical and digital counterpart, but it won’t be the only summer-based gaming event when it does return. The ESA has inadvertently given Keighley plenty of time and space to refine his own show this summer, posing a strong rivalry for 2023.
