Summer Game Fest 2025 is just moments away, less than an hour from starting.
While it is not quite as grand as E3, it has grown into a major gaming event that many gamers look forward to.
This annual event highlights upcoming video games for all major platforms, making it a must-watch for gamers worldwide.
The show is hosted by Geoff Keighley, a charismatic presenter known for his engaging style.
The main opening show is always a fun and exciting experience filled with game reveals and trailers.
Summer Game Fest started in 2020 and has showcased big titles such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, The Last of Us Part 1, Zenless Zone Zero, and Black Myth: Wukong.
This year, expectations are high for games like Hollow Knight: Silksong, Arc Raiders, and possibly a new Resident Evil title.
