Summer Game Fest 2024: the first partners of Geoff Keighley’s summer event revealed

The social accounts of Summer Game Fest have published the list of first partners of the 2024 edition of the event which has now taken the place of E3 for the summer presentations of new games. There are many names involved, even if we don’t know at what level and in what way. These are fifty-five publishers, hardware manufacturers and companies active in the video game industry, including important names such as PlayStation and Electronic Arts.

Geoff Keighley, the patron of the event, promised that others will also be announced in the near future. Let’s imagine soon, given that there are only a few days left until the opening of the dance. Having said that, we are faced with what we can consider a partial list, as can also be deduced from the image showing all the logos of the companies involved, where we talk about “Round 1”.

Lots of optimism

It is difficult to say the level of involvement of the different companies, in the sense that it is not possible to be certain what they will announce. Some, like Ubisoft, may limit themselves to showing their already announced games in more detail, such as Assassin’s Creed Shadows, while others may use the opportunity to present new games. Especially small and medium publishers may want to enjoy the traction of larger publishers to gain some exposure.

This is not the right place to make predictions on what individual labels might announce, but it is easy to take some appearances for granted. For example, Electronic Arts could finally show the Dragon Age 4: Dreadwolf gameplay, due to be released in 2024 by many rumors, while Ubisoft could give space to the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws. Capcom could show us a bit of Monster Hunter Wilds, the new chapter of its flagship series scheduled for 2025, while Bandai Namco could present with great fanfare Shadow of the Erdtree, the highly anticipated expansion of the hit Elden Ring.

Having said that, we just have to wait until June 7th to see theopening event of Summer Game Fest 2024 and learn more about what different publishers will bring, in the hope that the market will revitalize a bit with incredible announcements and lots of fireworks.
