Summer Game Fest 2024: all the news, trailers, and announcements

As the corpse of E3 lies a-mouldrin’ in its grave, its spirit marches on in the form of a bevy of video game showcases and events. There’s a hefty number of them — some notable, some not (but they should be) — and they encompass a wide range of games and genres. Here’s your guide to the whats, wheres, and whens of this year’s summer of games.

Accessibility has become a major feature of games, with developers often incorporating accessibility features in their marketing materials. The Access-Ability Showcase takes that one step further, curating an entire digital event around games with robust accessibility features. “Our aim is to make sure that if a game looks exciting, you don’t have to worry about getting hyped, only to learn later that a game doesn’t support your needs as a player,” wrote Laura Kate Dale, host of the Access-Ability showcase. The showcase starts on June 7th at 11AM ET on Twitch and YouTube and will feature viewing options for American and British sign language and audio descriptions.
