The gaming events of 2022

What could be nicer than to follow new game announcements together with like -minded people? Right, almost nothing! So that you don't miss anything, there is an overview of all the important gaming events 2022.

In the meantime we have all woke up from hibernation, the first hits of the year have played like Elden Ring, Horizon Forbidden West, Pokémon legends: Arceus or Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. But what would be a year without the corresponding gaming events? Right, pretty boring. The leading trade fair in the industry, the E3, takes place again in digital form this year, but with such circumstances we have arranged ourselves well after two years. Of course, the E3 is not the only event this year. "The Game Awards" inventor Geoff Keighley has announced another edition of the Summer Game and there are also numerous other events.

Electronic Arts will not participate in the usual hustle and bustle this year. The American company had already announced at the beginning of the year not to organize a big event this year. Instead, the respective games should be presented on other occasions. Numerous other sizes have not yet presented their plans. We traditionally expect an extensive direct presentation from Nintendo. After all, titles such as Splatoon 3 and Bayonetta 3 are planned for this year. The same should also be expected from Ubisoft together with the "Fast Forward" format, because the French manufacturer includes Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed Infinity and Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope.

All dates and links to the live streams and events can be found here. As soon as an appointment has been made for the respective events or the corresponding links have been switched live, we will update this article.
