Following much anticipation, Summer Game Fest 2022 finally took place last night and brought many new and exciting reveals. From the Last of Us Remake leaking a few hours before the event to the new gameplay of Street Fighter 6 and the campaign missions of Call of Duty Modern Warfare II, Summer Game fest 2022 was eventful, to say the least.
Hosted by Geoff Keighley, Summer Game Fest has risen to become the de facto gaming event of the summer. Originally established in 2020, amidst the pandemic, Summer Game Fest took the opportunity of E3's failure and brought an exciting event for fans to enjoy.
While E3 2022 was canceled, the event is all set to make a comeback next year with an in-person event. The same can be said for the Summer Game Fest, which is also set to return next year with an in-person event. With that being said, let's take a look at all the things Summer Game Fest 2022 had to offer.
From Last of Us Remake to Marvel's Midnight Suns, how was Summer Game Fest 2022?
