It’s early June, which means it’s video game event season once again. Now that E3 has been gone for a few years, a bunch of showcases and presentations have started to fill the void, including big productions like Summer Game Fest Live and smaller affairs like Wholesome Games Direct.
If you love following gaming news, it’s a good time of year. There will be a lot to take in that will set the stage for the rest of the year’s gaming releases. But without a big centralized conference like E3, it can be difficult to keep track of the many different events that will be happening over the next several days.
We’ve put together a list of the biggest events that we’ll have an eye on and when you can watch them. We’ll be covering announcements from all of the summer gaming event season, so keep an eye on The Verge and our dedicated hub for the major news. And there are a lot more events here that we didn’t include; for an even more comprehensive list, check out the events page on the Summer Game Fest website.
