Summer Game Fest 2026 Hype Starts One Month Out from Livestream

Okay, so summer gaming season is almost here, which means tons of new game announcements are coming! Geoff Keighley just dropped a short teaser trailer for Summer Game Fest – basically, he’s getting things started and building up the hype. I’m already excited to see what’s coming!

Set to The Rolling Stones’ “In the Stars,” he shared a rundown of games scheduled for release in 2026, and hinted at future announcements. Although appearing in the trailer doesn’t guarantee a full reveal at the show, Keighley specifically mentioned titles like Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve, and Control Resonant.

I’m already getting hyped for Summer Game Fest 2026! We’re putting together a complete guide to help you navigate everything, and it’ll be up later this month. But just so you know, the show kicks off at:

  • North America: 2pm PDT / 3pm MDT / 4pm CDT / 5pm EDT
  • UK/Ire: 10pm BST
  • Europe: 11pm CEST / 12am (Sat) EEST
  • Asia/Oceania: 6am (Sat) JST / 5am (Sat) AWST / 7am (Sat) AEST

With the cancellation of E3, this year’s gaming show is shaping up to be a big event. We might finally get a look at Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, and with Grand Theft Auto 6 expected in November, it’s important to see how other game releases are scheduled around its launch as dates are revealed.

An Xbox Games Showcase is planned for shortly after their livestream, and Sony typically holds a “State of Play” event around the same time, usually in late May.
