The Main Event: Summer Game Fest Live - June 6th
Kicking off the festivities is Summer Game Fest Live on June 6th at 5 PM ET. Hosted by the ever-present Geoff Keighley, this two-hour extravaganza promises "spectacular new video game announcements, surprises and reveals."

Confirmed appearances include a fresh look at Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, a Soulslike action RPG, and the open-world MMORPG Chrono Odyssey. Oh, and did we mention Hideo Kojima will be there? Expect a possible glimpse at Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and maybe even other secret projects from the enigmatic creator.
