Summer is well underway, which means that the summer gaming showcase schedule is in high gear. E3 is gone for good now, but as we've learned in past years that hasn't stopped all of gaming's publishers, big and small, from descending upon the month of June to roll out their roadmaps for the next few years. Not for nothing, but we're still very open to suggestions for new names to bestow upon game marketing week because we can't keep saying "not-E3" for another year.

World Premieres Week? Trailer Raid Week? We'll keep working on it.

In any case, Summer Game Fest returned as a publisher-neutral space for announcements, as did our own PC Gaming Show and our friends at GamesRadar+ with the Future Games Show. The big three: Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo—all scheduled their own showcases. We were also treated to some other familiar events like the Wholesome Direct, Guerrilla Collective, and Day of the Devs as well.

Here are all the showcases from summer 2024:
