Today, IGN has announced it will host IGN Live: an in-person, three-day fan event in Los Angeles this summer featuring gaming and entertainment creators, developers, publishers, and enthusiasts.
The event will take place in early June, and while official exhibitors are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, for now it promises to include "world-class talent, parties, networking opportunities, and unique attractions from a curated list of leading exhibitors across gaming and entertainment." It will include live IGN shows, tournaments, "first-looks" at new releases, and panels "featuring headliners from games, television, movies, and more." A portion of ticket sales will go to charity via Humble Bundle.
IGN Live will serve as one component of IGN's annual Summer of Gaming event, which has been running in digital formats since 2020 and has historically included a number of gaming announcements, celebrity appearances, interviews, and other presentations. In addition to the in-person event, IGN Live will also stream its presentations over console, mobile apps, and on IGN channels.
“IGN Live is aligned with IGN’s mission and history," said IGN president Yael Prough. "For nearly three decades, we have fueled fandoms that drive the most diverse and beloved games and entertainment into the zeitgeist. Fans and partners have voiced their demand for a physical space where the community can come together in person to celebrate the industry’s most exciting innovations."
