What will we see in the Xbox Game Showcase?
Aside from the main show, the subsequent Xbox Games Showcase is easily one of the biggest Summer Game Fest events. What do I think is going to be in store this year?
When it comes to games, I’m expecting another look at Gears of War: Reloaded, which was announced last month. Some more news on State of Decay 3, which has been in the works for years now, is definitely likely too I think – it’s been so long that I would be shocked if we don’t get any more info.
I’m also expecting (and personally hoping) for a trailer for the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle DLC. I was a huge fan of the base game, so would love a good reason like this to dive back in.
I know what you’re all wondering. Is Geoff Keighley even real?
He may seem like a bit of a mythical figure, but I can confirm that he does in fact actually exist. I’ve even met him! He attended one of the illustrious, VIP-only Gamescom after parties last year, along with other industry high flyers… and me.
It’s not just Geoff….
Keighley may be the most prominent face of Summer Game Fest, but that doesn’t mean he is the only presenter at the event.
He has recently taken to social media to announce his co-host for the main show: Lucy James. James is a prominent face in video content for both GameSpot and Giant Bomb, so seems like a very strong choice.

Who is Geoff Keighley?
If you’re interested in Summer Game Fest, then you’ve undoubtedly heard the name Geoff Keighley more times than you can count. But who exactly is he?
A former game journalist turned present, Keighley had a strong career writing for outlets like Kotaku and GameStop, mainly focusing on long-form deep-dives into major games and studios.
He also frequently appeared on television, becoming a prominent face at events like E3.
Now, he helms his own events and shows acting as both the host and organizer – including the Game Awards and Summer Game Fest.
State of Play recap
Though seperate from the main show – yesterday’s PlayStation Sate of Play presentation was part of Summer Game Fest. I covered the event live (absolutely obliterating my sleep schedule in the process) and it was definitely a strong showing.
