IGN-ov Summer of Gaming donijet će najave osam novih igara

Otkazivanje E3 sajma ove je godine otvorilo prostor za niz digitalnih događaja, a među takvima je i Summer of Gaming 2020 u režiji tvrtke IGN. Nemojte samo to zamijeniti sa Summer Game Festom – to je totalno druga stvar. Uglavnom, Summer of Gaming će biti kolektivni naziv za sve IGN-ove događaje vezane uz IGN Expo digitalni sajam te IGN Exclusives. Znam, znam, teško je sve to sada već pohvatati tko tu koga…

Ipak, dobra stvar kod IGN-ovog pristupa jest transparentnost oko toga koliko će novih igara biti najavljeno i što će od već najavljenih igara biti prezentirano. Uz takvu transparentnost manje je šanse da će gledatelji u konačnici biti razočarani prikazanim sadržajima.

Još jedna dobra stvar jest ta da će se IGN Expo i Exclusives održati u nekoliko navrata. Trajat će to skoro cijelog šestog mjeseca – od 4. do 24. 6. Raspored je detaljno obrazložen, a mi prenosimo najzanimljivije dijelove programa:
