It’s time for theSummer Game Festliveblog, to which you, lovely readers, are cordially invited. SGF 2023’s main event begins tonight at 8pm BST / 3pm EDT / 12pm PDT, and I’ll be manning the levers to bring live updates on all the game reveals, fresh looks, and trailers that this annual announce-o-rama has to offer.

Will there be an update onAlan Wake 2? Will we seeMortal Kombat 1in bloodied action for the first time? Will Geoff Keighley wear a suit jacket over a t-shirt with shoes that look just slightly too big? Yes, yes, and probably yes. There’ll be much more besides, fromBaldur’s Gate 3andCyberpunk 2077’sPhantom Liberty expansiontoImmortals of AveumandFortnite’s Chapter 4 Season 3 update, Wilds. And that’s just the confirmed games – we’re expecting this main Summer Game Fest show to last a couple of hours, so there should be plenty of surprises too.
And do stick around RPS in general, as we’ll have this wholeNotE3 weekcovered from every angle – including on the ground, via Ed, who’s been swanning around LA playing a load of this stuff. Lucky sod. We’ll also have news from Day of the Devs, Summer Game Fest’s indie-focused companion show, which will follow immediately after the main Geoff Fest livestream tonight.
Our live coverage of this event has finished.
10:50 amUTCWelcome in advance to our Summer Game Fest liveblog coverage! The plan is to go actually live at around 19:45 BST, shortly before the main event starts. See you then.
