After last night’s confirmation that E3 2023 is cancelled, it’s worth a quick check of June’s calendar – which still has plenty to look forward to in the shape of video game announcements.
We’re still several months away, but already we’ve heard word from Ubisoft, Microsoft and Bethesda about their own livestreamed announcement broadcast. And of course there’s Summer Game Fest, the more general live show hosted by Geoff Keighley, with updates from other publishers.
Without further ado, here’s what to expect and when.
Thursday 8th June, 8pm UK time: Summer Game Fest
Scheduled for just before the start of the traditional E3 week, this annual showcase features a variety of trailers and world premiere announcements from third-party game studios which typically don’t hold their own press conferences.
This year, we’re expecting CD Projekt to give us a look at Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Libery expansion, among other things.
Sunday 11th June, time TBA: Xbox Games Showcase + Starfield Direct
Microsoft will broadcast its annual E3 week livestream as a double feature this year, with a long-awaited in-depth dive into Starfield on top of the company’s more general Xbox announcements.
