E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo staged by the Entertainment Software Association of America, is no more, but its spirit lives on, in the sense that June is still when video game enthusiasts expect major stage shows and live stream reveals for what publishers have cooking in the coming year, and beyond.
Anchored by Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest, which stepped in for E3 when the COVID-19 pandemic first canceled the annual convention in Los Angeles in 2020, the first weekend of June will see 13 — and counting — streamed events showcasing new video games and hardware due to release in the coming year.
