While E3 may be cancelled forever, that doesn't mean the tradition this expo created for the gaming industry will fade away. June is Christmas for gamers as there are more than 20+ gaming event scheduled just in June!
Microsoft with Xbox Showcase, Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest and many other developers are making teasers, announcements and hype their fanbase to tune in to these shows to see the hopefully new gameplay trailers that will grace us.
Here are some big announcements, starting with a 007 Game!
IO Interactive will share a gameplay trailer for the new 007 game? Dare I dream we get a release date? Will we see it at the Summer Games Fest or Xbox stage?
IO Interactive will also share details on HItman and Mind's Eye, as stated on their Twitter post.
While I don't believe we will see gameplay at the #UnrealFest that was announced for tomorrow, maybe we will get a behind the scenes, or behind the hood look to see what gameplay systems or physics that will be empowering The Witcher 4 to become the next blockbuster experience? Well, only time will tell and we will find out very soon!

Now the partner list here sounds very impressive and hype inducing, but let's temper our expectations a bit before we blast off into the hype rocket and crash into the sun, after all, Geoff is known to overhype his shows and I don't blame him!
Anyways, since 007 announcement and we see IOI here we can deduce that we will see the next "mission debrief" at this show which is exciting.
Playstation and Nintendo will also have a presence here which is unusual since these behemoths usually host their own shows, State of Play and Nintendo Direct respectively.
Nonetheless, while we had a lot of depressing news about game cancellations, today we shall be optimistic and eagerly await this event to see the what the next generation of gaming is all about!

Now the big boy Xbox moneybucks is here and is ready to play this year as well.
Xbox showcases are always hype, a lot of awesome moments happened on Xbox stage like the legendary breathtaking moment with Keanu Reeves when the Cyberpunk 2077 was first shown.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was also unveiled at the Xbox showcase that released this year to amazing success and critical acclaim, check out our review of this game here 👈
So definitely watch this show, especially since Xbox will be releasing more and more of their games on multiple platforms so jump in and join the celebrations, after all, we are all gamers and enjoy games!
