What to Expect from Summer Game Fest 2025?
Although SGF is yet to replace E3 in terms of reputation, we can expect some upcoming game trailers, developer exclusives, and teasers at the event. SGF 2025 will also feature world premieres, and Geoff is also known for giving us big celebrity appearances.
In the official post by @summergamefest on X, the hosts already revealed that more than 40 leading game publishers will be at the event. Although we have not seen Nintendo or Rockstar at the SGF and TGA yet, we never know which big company will reveal its next big masterpiece at such events. With high expectations surrounding its sixth year, the massive two-hour Summer Game Fest showcase in 2025 is a must-watch event.
However, that is not the only thing happening at SGF 2025. This year’s event will also have some special events, supporting the video game industry in different ways. One of the major parts of Summer Game Fest 2025 will be the SGF thought-leader event. This event will bring together voices from gaming, entertainment, and other fields to discuss the changes, challenges, and opportunities that lie ahead.
Host Geoff Keighley revealed that the former head of GamesIndustry.biz, Christopher Dring, will curate the event. The Summer Game Fest 2024 showcase featured numerous award-winning game trailers, including those for Black Myth Wukong and Metaphor: ReFantazio. So, we can expect some amazing announcements this year as well.
