Big announcements to look forward to?
Of course, we'll be witnessing some shocking revelas during this Summer Game Fest. Several games have already been confirmed for the event, like Alan Wake 2, Mortal Kombat 1** and Lies of P**. A trailer for season 3 of the Netflix series The Witcher will also be shown.
As for the rest, it's hard to speculate. We'll undoubtedly see plenty of independent titles, but also a few ultra-anticipated blockbusters. As we know, Geoff Keighley and Hideo Kojima are bffs. Could we catch a glimpse of Death Stranding 2, which didn't even show up at the PlayStation Showcase? Who knows.
