E3 2023 has been cancelled, but so that there is no trouble, here we are going to leave you all the information about the events that YES have been confirmed for the start of summer, such as the Summer Game Fest or the Xbox Showcase.
We have been without a proper E3 for several years and when it finally seemed that the biggest annual video game event would return, everything has collapsed. The lack of support has caused the organization of E3 2023 to cancel the appointment, but it is not the end. Because there are still a lot of video game events after the cancellation of E3.
At the moment, the future of this event is in doubt for future courses, but don’t panic. True to the appointment, video games in June we will have to give and give away. That it is not celebrated E3 2023 does not mean that we are going to run out presentations, events and big announcements.

You already know that June is always a very busy month within the video game industry and everything indicates that this 2023 is also going to give us a few surprises. There are already a few companies and developers that have announced presentations for the beginning of summer.
Therefore, to have everything together in one place, we are going to give a brief review of all confirmed video game events for the summer after the cancellation of E3 2023as well as their dates and possible announcements that they may leave us.
Summer Game Fest 2023 – June 8th
when it was announced the cancellation of this E3 we thought we heard a shout of euphoria in the distance. We don’t know who it could have been, but a strong candidate could be Geoff Keighley.
Jokes aside, the presenter of The Game Awards, organizer of these awards and also of the Summer Game Fest, had no qualms about promoting his event with the corpse of E3 still hot. The struggle between the two organizers has been the pink sauce of the sector for months.
Because yes, indeed the Summer Game Fest will take place on June 8. It is still early to be able to make it clear that we will see in the usual battery of announcements (of games and advertising) that leads us leaving several Keighley editions, but our personal bet is a good trailer for Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, the long-awaited DLC of the GOTY 2022.
Devolver Direct: The Return of Volvy – June 9
He always leaves us one of the most curious and entertaining presentations of the summer and on this occasion, Devolver Digital will not fail either. The cancellation of E3 has not prevented the distributor from announcing its own live show in which they will surely reveal new and interesting indie proposals.
We remind you that Devolver Digital has given us great games over the years. Trek to Yomi, Death’s Door, Gris, The Red Strings Club and many more titles are among his bets for success. The presentation will be at 00:00 (Spanish peninsular time).
Xbox Games Showcase – June 11th
As far as large companies are concerned, the first to make it clear that it is going to have its own event has been Xbox. Microsoft always does its homework before anyone else and we know that on June 11 we will have a Xbox Games Showcase and another very important presentation.
And it is that, in this case, it has already become clear that Starfield is going to be present with its own event. Bethesda has been simmering this massive role-playing title for years and despite the delays, expectations have only increased.
In addition, Xbox is expected to release new information on highly anticipated games such as Hellblade 2, Forza Motorsport and a few more. Will 2023 be the year of Microsoft?
Ubisoft Forward – June 12th
And although it is true that Ubisoft 2023 has not started in the best way (recent layoffs attest to this), June 12 can mark the starting point for a better stage within the well-known company.
We already have a date for a nuevo Ubisoft Forward and although it is better not to anticipate anything, among the pools three games resonate that could be seen in a much more extensive way in this event: Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, Assassin’s Creed Mirage and the stranded Skull & Bones.
Capcom Showcase – June 13th
Few companies are on as good a roll as Capcom right now and how could it be otherwise, the Japanese are signing up for the bombing in June with a Capcom Showcase which will be broadcast on early morning of June 13 at 00:00 (Spanish peninsular time).
The event will last 45 minutes and many wonder what we will see in this presentation. There are those who bet on the Resident Evil 4 Remake DLC with Ada Wong as the protagonist. Will Separate Ways be shown?
THQ Nordic Digital Showcase – August 11th
Another great publisher will be present during this summer of 2023. THQ Nordic has announced an online presentation for the August 11 at 9:00 p.m. (Spanish peninsular time). What can we see in this conference? We already have some confirmed games.
At the moment, those who sign up for the party are Outcast 2: A New Beginning and Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy, although surprises are expected. Of course, the Alone in the Dark reboot is the most anticipated by many fans. It would not be bad to see him as the great guest.
Gamescom Opening Night Live – August 22nd
And be careful because, as we are used to, we are going to have a double helping of Geoff this summer, since the journalist and presenter has announced the second big event organized under the umbrella of his company.
Indeed, the Gamescom 2023 opening ceremony from Germany, Cologne, starts on August 22 with an event in which interesting news will be announced. What do you expect from the Gamescom Opening Night Live?
For now, these are all the confirmed events, but it is very likely that a few more will be announced in the coming weeks. Rumors have been flying in recent days and it would not be unusual to see a State of Playand Nintendo Direct or other typical presentations of those dates.
Despite the fact that it was said that Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake and a new Castlevania could be announced at E3 2023, the cancellation of the event is not likely to stop Konami. There are many eyes on the Japanese company.
Whatever the result of this coming month of June, at Hobby Consolas we will update all the information on all summer events confirmed after the cancellation of E3 2023.
