Are you ready for the summer?
With the confirmation of a date for the kickoff, it looks like the summer of gaming news and announcements is upon us. The is tracking events, as we’ve already had a few announced.
Alongside the Summer Game Fest Live and Day of the Devs streams, Xbox and Bethesda have locked in a date for their stream. The joint games showcase 🌺will take place on June 12, a few days after the SGF show. The Tribeca Games Spotlight, mea♍nwhile, will highlight some interesting projects on June 10.
It’ll be an interesting year, seeing as there is no E3 taking place this summer, even in digital form. No other plans have been formally announced yet, though with June rapidly approaching, I imagine we’ll start to see more publishers and companies lock in their streaming plans.
