IGN Announces Updated Summer of Gaming Schedule

IGN have announced the schedule for their Summer of Gaming event, after it was initially postponed.

IGN had previously announced their event around the time of E3 2020’s cancellation, featuring new game reveals along-side gameplay footage, charity events, and interviews.

Originally slated to begin June 4th, the event was postponed due to the death and aftermath of the death of George Floyd. Now, IGN have announced the revised times and dates of the livestreams.
