Summer Game Fest, Geoff Keighley’s annual summer event full of new game reveals and trailers will return for its fifth edition on June 7.

Although Summer Game Fest 2024 had already been teased, the Summer Game Fest team laid out more specific details about its 2024 festivities today. The headlining Summer Game Fest kickoff reveal live stream will take place at 2 p.m. PT on June 7. It will be live-streamed across platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok, and there will also be a live show at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles. Tickets for the live show will go on sale on May 7. Since it’s still a few months out, no games have been confirmed for Summer Game Fest 2024 at this time; you can check out what was announced at 2023’s show to get a better idea of what kinds of games tend to show up, though.

As has been the case for the past several years, the Summer Game Fest showcase will be immediately followed by Day of the Devs: SGF Edition, which will focus specifically on games from independent developers. A press release says Day of the Devs: SGF Edition 2024 “will feature more than a dozen incredible games from game developers of all different backgrounds.” The SGF Play Days Event will then take place in LA between June 8 and 10 but will only be accessible to the press and influencers.

Interestingly, the press release unveiling all of these dates for Summer Game Fest 2024 teases that “fans can look forward to other live streams and events during this year’s Summer Game Fest,” although whether that constitutes other Summer Game Fest-produced live streams or showcases from companies like Microsoft remains to be seen.

Limited Run Games ran its annual showcase on Thursday, adding to its catalog of physical retro game releases for the next year. While many of the trailers were for already-announced titles, LRG managed to sneak in some big announcements, including the Beyond Good and Evil 20th Anniversary Edition, re-releases and remasters of some deep-cut retro games, and more.

The physical game publisher has also gotten into the world of broader video game publishing, with its Carbon Engine helping developers use emulation to port older games from in the pre-PlayStation 1 era over to modern platforms. It's also already released some projects this year, with Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked with Konami and being behind the Alan Wake 2 Collector's Edition.

We got a lot of retro announcements during Thursday's Limited Run Games showcase, and the last one is set to bring back a retro gaming icon in Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection.

In the short teaser for Limited Run Games' "one more thing" announcement, we get a glimpse of James Bond in the GoldenEye 007 intro before the silhouette transforms into Bubsy. "Were you expecting someone else?" Then he messes with the volume and contrast controls on your CRT TV before hopping over to the title card.
