Call of Duty®: Mobile – Garena has announced Summer Festival 2026, a seasonal campaign anchored by the theme “Connect, Compete, Celebrate” to engage players throughout the holiday period.
Connect
Summer Festival 2026 culminates in a two-day offline event from May 23–24, 2026, at the SMX Aura Convention Center in Manila, featuring creator showmatches, interactive carnival-style booths, and exclusive festival merchandise. In the lead-up to the main event, players can also take part in “Hotspot Attacks” –a series of on-ground activations held in the weeks prior.
Compete
At the heart of the festival, fans and players can catch the Grand Finals of Garena Elite Philippines (GEP) 2026 and the Garena Summer Invitational (GSI) 2026 live. The tournaments bring together grassroots talents and top regional teams to compete for a combined prize pool of USD100,000.
