The action will kick off on June 10 at 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT with a live show hosted by Geoff Keighley. OnTwitter, Keighley estimated that the show will run “around 2 hours” with over 12 premieres—”[probably] more than that.”

Keighley confirms that “most but not all” partners will have content in the kickoff show, though some will save major news for their own events. The kickoff show’s timing also puts itright before E3 2021. Folks, it looks like the summer of games is starting up again.
