Summer Game Fest Takes E3 2022 Dates
The Summer Game Fest 2022 will take place during E3 2022's dates, and while it is not precisely taking its preferred schedule, it will debut its showcase simultaneously as the famed event. E3 2022 was canceled for good, and the company already decided on this early in the year.
Gamers are left with a void from E3's decision, but there are many game showcases for this year that would try and fill in what the event left, especially for fans and enthusiasts.
E3 2022 and Other Showcase for Games
E3 usually takes place in June, and it has been a tradition by the company to bring its festivities to the public by holding a convention, and it invites gamers and fans to join it. Before the pandemic, the E3 is a yearly tradition for some in joining, and it features an on-site experience like no other.
However, COVID-19's virus and its progression stopped the event from manifesting live, with gamers left to watch at home via live streams.
Many gaming companies take the opportunity to showcase their new titles and offers for the coming releases or tease titles that will soon start their development with the company. Companies like Ubisoft and Nintendo were the top contenders in last year's E3 2021, and they brought some of the anticipated titles into the lineup.
Other game showcases are also massive, like Microsoft's Xbox and Sony's PlayStation yearly showcases, but not many come close to what the E3 offers the public.
Now, gamers thought that the pandemic was ending and that the events would resume their on-site festivities for everyone, but they were sorely mistaken due to E3 canceling its 2022 offers. Now, other organizations are taking its place, and literally during the famed timeframe that launches every June of the year, with Summer Game Fest pushing for it next month.
