Each year, the gaming industry pauses to take stock of itself — and in the absence of E3's once-dominant gathering, that moment now belongs to Summer Game Fest. On June 8, Geoff Keighley's showcase returns to the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles, assembling over 40 companies to reveal what comes next. It is less a trade show than a cultural ritual: an industry collectively deciding what stories it wants to tell, and trusting one curator to tell them well.
