As Keighley said in a chat on Twitter spaces collected by VGC, “Many of the games we will show you have already been announced […] We are planning some new game announcements and hopefully a few surprises if they last. but for sure a program that primarily focuses on already announced titles“. Some statements in which he himself emphasized his appointment, asking fans «manage their expectations in terms of “megatons” and the impact they expect«.
That means there’s no need to panic, as Keighley’s own Twitter accounts and Summer Game Fest have been teasing some of his show’s announcements over the past few weeks. a large number of trailers under the “World Premiere” brand. Videos including special demonstrations Gotham Knights and Cuphead; The Delicious Last Course, the first game of The Calisto Protocol, a first look at the gameplay and the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 campaign, as well as other firsts, such as the introduction of the first official game from the independent studio Frost Giant; or the presence of Dwaine “The Rock” Johnson, who will talk about working with Fortnite and his next film, Black Adam by DC.

In addition to the surprises already foreseenwho seem to have managed to maintain a good seal without knowing exactly what to expect. Although quite a few expectations have been generated about the possibility that we will finally have some news from the sequel Hollow Knight: Silksongwhich, in addition to being one of the most anticipated events, gained more importance afterwards the last interaction between Keighley and Matthew GriffinCherry Team Marketing Manager.
