Here are all the Not-E3 presentations taking place this week

Xbox & Bethesda, Summer Games Fest, Guerrilla Collective and more all vie for your attention between now and Sunday

E3 may not be happening this year, but there will still be plenty of games announcements in the week ahead.

We've already had Sony's State of Play -- you can read our roundup of all the announcements here -- and there's a handful of smaller-scale events starting from today until Geoff Keighley's Summer Games Fest ramps things up on Thursday, with Microsoft dominating the weekend via its Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase.

With multiple major delays impacting 2022's release slate, the industry will no doubt be hoping for some big surprises in the days to come. You can read what analysts and editors want to see from this year's 'Not-E3' right here.
