IGN-ov Summer of Gaming donijeće najave osam novih igara

Iz IGN-a su otkrili svoje planove za digitalni program zvan Summer of Gaming 2020 kojim će nadoknaditi izostanak E3 sajma.

Otkazivanje E3 sajma ove godine je otvorilo prostor za niz digitalnih događaja, među kojima je i IGN-ov Summer of Gaming 2020. Summer of Gaming će biti kolektivni naziv za sve IGN-ove događaje vezane uz IGN Expo digitalni sajam te IGN Exclusives.

Ipak, dobra stvar kod IGN-ovog pristupa jeste transparentnost oko toga koliko će novih igara biti najavljeno i koje će već najavljene igre biti prezentovane. Uz takvu transparentnost manje su šanse da će gledaoci na kraju biti razočarani prikazanim sadržajima.

Još jedna dobra stvar je ta što će se IGN Expo i IGN Exclusives održavati skoro cijelog šestog mjeseca – od 4. do 24.6. Raspored je detaljno obrazložen, a mi prenosimo najzanimljivije dijelove programa:
