After a long wait, Summer Game Fest 2021 is finally here. The Kickoff Live event starts today at 11 AM PT (2 PM ET), and is set to feature over 30 upcoming games. There will also be live musical performances from the likes of Wheezer and the Sonic Symphony Orchestra, and a few special guests that fans aren't going to want to miss. There are a few different places that fans can watch the livestream, and for the sake of convenience the official streaming sites have all been compiled here.
For those that don't know, Summer Game Fest is an annual event hosted by Geoff Keighley, whom most fans probably will recognize from The Game Awards. It's a massive showcase of world premiers for upcoming video games across a broad spectrum, both high profile ones and smaller indie titles. There's even more anticipation for this year's showcase thanks to recent rumors that have been floating around.
According to the official Summer Game Fest 2021 Twitter page, viewers can tune in to the Sumer Game Fest 2021 Kickoff Live event on YouTube, Twitch, and Twitter. At the time of writing, neither the Twitch stream nor the link on Twitter seem to be active just yet, but players can find the YouTube stream below. The stream actually goes live about a half hour before the event starts, and this time will either be empty space or could potentially be used for a pre-show of sorts. Be sure to tune in at 10:30 AM PT (1:30 PM ET) to see if anything's happening yet.
With over 30 game reveals coming to players during the livestream, it's impossible to say for certain what will be shown. That said, there's a heavy expectation among Elden Ring fans that the game will finally be shown again after over 700 days since the reveal trailer was first released. This is by no means confirmed, but the community could certainly use a pick me up after the information drought of the last two years. Regardless, viewers can watch Summer Game Fest 2021 here and get all the latest information as soon as it's available.
This is only the start of a slew of exciting news coming to the world of video games, as E3 isn't too far behind. Starting on June 12th and running until June 15th, it will see developers and major publishers taking the stage to share the latest and greatest developments of their own IPs.
The Summer Game Fest 2021 starts at 11 AM PT (2 PM ET).
