There are plenty more events to look forward to in June as well, such as the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase. Perhaps the most anticipated event of all could be Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest. Keighley is most known for putting together the annual Game Awards, and it seems 2022 marks another year when he will be putting together both a Winter and Summer games event. As with The Game Awards, fans tuning in to the Summer Game Fest can expect new reveals, updates on games in development, and some special guests to draw in crowds who aren’t usually attracted to video game events.

Former WWE Superstar and actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been announced to be appearing at this year’s Summer Game Fest. Special guests, including some A-list celebrities like Gal Gadot and Brie Larson, have appeared at The Game Awards previously, and while some fans believe that the guests don’t have anything to do with gaming, others see them as a draw to watch the show. The Rock confirmed his involvement via Twitter, where he said he “appreciate[s] you guys inviting me to swoop in!”

With his reference to “swooping,” it is more than likely the Rock will discuss his upcoming role of Black Adam in the DC movie. According to Geoff Keighley’s announcement, the actor will also be talking about his brief appearance in Fortnite, something that was teased for months before finally being confirmed. It does not seem as though the Rock will be taking up much of the spotlight at the Summer Game Fest. Instead, the main space will be saved for the games, which is less likely to leave gamers with a sour taste in their mouths over the appearance of celebrity guests.

So far, the Summer Game Fest is being hyped up as a massive event. IMAX screenings have been booked for it, and over 30 partners have announced their involvement in the event. Many fans are speculating on what games could appear at the showcase, with some wanting a reveal for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and other thinking that a Silent Hill tease is destined for the event.

Summer Game Fest 2022 begins June 9.
