Myth: Wukong, and more.

This year we have no idea what to expect, but some of the most anticipated games include Hollow Knight: Silksong , Arc Raiders , and a potential new Resident Evil title.

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.
