Back in the pre-pandemic days, the ESA\u2019s E3 conference was an absolute staple in the calendar of annual events, of course. But there hasn\u2019t been a physical E3 since 2019.<\/p>\n<p>In the absence of E3 in 2022, journalist and presenter Geoff Keighley will once again host his own online live-stream event, where gaming companies from around the world will gather virtually to tease their upcoming products.<\/p>\n<p>So, when is Summer Game Fest 2022 and what else do you need to know about this summer\u2019s biggest video game showcase event?

Keighley, the journalist and presenter who was previously best known as the host of The Game Awards.<\/p>\n<p>Since debuting the Summer Game Fest brand in 2020, with E3 yet to make a physical post-pandemic comeback, Keighley has effectively become the go-to guy for big summer blowouts in the gaming industry.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Summer Game Fest 2022 predictions: Which companies and games will appear?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The official Summer Game Fest lineup has not been confirmed yet, so we don\u2019t yet know which companies will be touting their wares at this year\u2019s showcase. However, we can make some educated guesses.<\/p>\n<p>Warner Bros Games has <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/gotham-knights-release-date-trailer-story-news\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Gotham Knights<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/hogwarts-legacy-game-release-date-trailer-story-news\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Hogwarts Legacy<\/a> and <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/suicide-squad-kill-justice-league-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League<\/a> in the pipeline, so it would be very surprising if none of those games featured here.<\/p>\n<p>Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima seems to be firm friends with Keighley, too, so perhaps he\u2019ll use this opportunity to reveal the heavily rumoured Death Stranding 2, or whatever else he might have in the works.<\/p>\n<p>Sony has not announced its own <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/playstation-state-of-play-uk-time\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">State of Play<\/a> showcase as of yet, so it does feel plausible that we could see <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/god-of-war-ragnarok-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">God of War: Ragnarok<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/stray-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Stray<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/spider-man-2-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Spider-Man 2<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/wolverine-game-release-date-ps5\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Wolverine<\/a> and other upcoming PlayStation games during Summer Game Fest. Perhaps <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/ps5-vr-release-date-price-upgrade\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">PSVR 2<\/a> could feature, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, Nintendo hasn\u2019t confirmed any upcoming <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/nintendo-direct-watch-uk-time\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Nintendo Direct<\/a> events in the near future, which does at least leave a tiny possibility that The Legend of Zelda: <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-sequel-release-date-trailer\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Breath of the Wild 2<\/a> could appear here. With that game being delayed recently, though, it does feel like a long shot. Another long shot would be the next Nintendo console, the <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/nintendo-switch-pro-release-date-price-confirmed\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Switch Pro<\/a> or whatever it ends up being called, which is yet to be revealed.<\/p> <p>EA always has plenty of games to shout about, as well, and given the recent announcement about <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fifa-23-release-date-ea\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">FIFA 23<\/a> being the last FIFA-branded game that EA will work on before switching over to <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/ea-sports-fc-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">EA Sports FC<\/a>, this could be a good opportunity for EA to reaffirm its messaging on that.<\/p>\n<p>Activision is always keen to make a splash, too, and this would be a very nice platform on which to properly reveal <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/cod-2022-modern-warfare-2-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2<\/a> and\/or the next evolution of CoD Warzone. That\u2019s not to mention all the Blizzard games, including Destiny 2 and <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/diablo-immortal-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Diablo Immortal<\/a>, which might benefit from an extra push.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that 2K has collaborated with Keighley before, as well, so perhaps Summer Game Fest will be the right place to showcase the next steps for Borderlands, be that another full sequel or another spinoff like <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/tiny-tinas-wonderlands-audio-exclusive\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Tiny Tina\u2019s Wonderlands<\/a>. Given that it launches that week, we wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/the-quarry-exclusive-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Quarry<\/a> in attendance either.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the Xbox and Bethesda showcase has already been confirmed to take place a few days after the main Summer Game Fest, so you can expect the <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/starfield-release-date-confirmed\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Starfield<\/a> and <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/redfall-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Redfall<\/a> developers to wait until then before dropping any big reveals.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, one prediction we\u2019d really love to come true: could From Software use Summer Game Fest as the forum in which to announce its follow-up to <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/elden-ring-review-comment\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Elden Ring<\/a>, be that a DLC or a sequel or another new IP?
