Summer Game Fest 2024

The first dish is he Summer Game Fest 2024 by Geoff Keighley. The presenter and journalist who we also see at events such as The Game Awards or Gamescom is preparing his annual summer event with an edition that he promises a lot.
Beyond advertisements and advertising campaigns, this Summer Game Fest 2024 has begun to generate rumors about some of the games that will be the protagonists. At the moment, we already know that we will have more than 55 companies at the event.
It has also been confirmed that we will see the first trailer for a new 2K sequel or a look at Phantom Blade 0. Of course, many players are waiting for new Shadow of the Erdtree gameplay, the Elden Ring DLCalso shown here.

Return Direct 2024
- Celebration date: 8 of June
- Presentation schedule: 02:00 (Spanish peninsular time)
Another almost essential appointment, due to the surreal nature of the show, where it is used to throw stones at the video game industry with sharp and scathing criticism in a humorous way. Will closures and layoffs be the object of your attacks this year? Early access? Artificial Intelligence? All this together?
Devolver Direct are usually short in duration, about 30 minutes at most, and although they do not have a high number of advertisements, they are usually sprinkled with numerous sketches. It is not known what announcements we will see, but titles like The Brave Squire, Skate Story or the same up to Human Fall Flat 2 seem almost certain.
Future Games Show
- Celebration date: 8 of June
- Presentation schedule: 21:00 (Spanish peninsular time)
Despite not being the largest event in terms of the number of games or their popularity, The Future Games Show Summer Showcase directed by Games Radar+ always tends to leave some very interesting revelations.
In the past, games as relevant as No Rest for the Wicked or Sand Land were shown exhaustively at this conference, so if you are looking for new playable experiences, the Future Games Show always gives reasons not to miss it.
Xbox Games Showcase
- Celebration date: June 9
- Presentation schedule: 19:00 (Spanish peninsular time)
One of the most important conferences of this “not E3” is the Xbox Games Showcase. And for the first time Xbox Game Studios, Bethesda and Activision Blizzard They will coincide on stage to release countless glimpses and previews of their games.
Although we come from the unfortunate news related to the closure of Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin and other cuts at Microsoft, many are looking forward to seeing new developments from Avowed or the game of Indiana Jones.
It is already confirmed that after the Showcase, there will be an event dedicated to Call of Duty Black Ops 6, which long before being officially presented, already confirmed that it will be on Xbox Game Pass from launch day.
Will we see Gears 6? Perfect Dark? Any third party that could come exclusively to Xbox? Final Fantasy XVI announcement for Xbox? As you see, dreaming is free… but they could be good balls.
PC Gaming Show

Ubisoft Forward
- Celebration date: June 10th

Ubisoft has also signed up with its already well-known format, but on this occasion, the list of possible games that could be seen in Ubisoft Forward is loaded with great candidates such as Assassin’s Creed Shadows or Star Wars Outlaws, which will be two of the main protagonists.
Live from Los Angeles, Ubisoft hopes to surprise many fans with more revelations that have not been clarified. There are already a few rumors, with Splinter Cell Remake being the one that has been talked about the most in recent months.
The French company has had an outstanding year with Prince of Persia The Lost Crown or xDefiant, but there is still a promising second half with two big releases and other possible surprises that we hope to discover soon.
THQ Nordic Digital Showcase
- Celebration date: August 2nd
- Presentation schedule: 21:00 (Spanish peninsular time)
The Alone in the Dark publisher is also preparing for a later event, but it already has its first games confirmed. Already approaching a new Gamescom, THQ Nordic Digital Showcase will present news about several projects of interest such as Gothic Remake or Titan Quest 2.
Apart from these well-known events we also have somewhat smaller events, but which will also leave us with projects of interest. We are thinking about the Guerrilla Collective on June 6 or on Day of Devs from June 8 at 00:00 (Spanish peninsular time).
And of course, it remains to be seen if events from the other large companies are defined in the coming days. Electronic Arts has not yet commented, but there is already talk of the reveal of Dragon Age Dradwolf, for example.
And we do not forget rumored and possible PlayStation Showcase or Nintendo Direct that allow us to know the short/medium term plans of around PS5 and Nintendo switch. Come on, the “no E3” comes loaded with announcements. You are ready?
