What To Expect From Opening Night Live 2021
There’s a lot of possibilities when it comes to what we can expect. Last year’s showcase included games like Star Wars: Squadrons, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, DOOM Eternal’s first DLC campaign and more, so it was a stacked showcase. We can expect more of the same from this year’s.
If we had to hard commit to a potential prediction, it’s possible that 2K Games will reveal their new franchise, which is rumoured to be a blend of Marvel and XCOM. A banner announcement like that would be a great way to capture headlines following Opening Night Live.
Given the fact that Geoff Keighley was the man responsible for re-debuting Elden Ring as part of Summer Game Fest during E3 season, we might see more from that game here too. Also, Death Stranding: Director’s Cut is on the horizon, so Keighley would likely jump at the chance of showcasing some new Kojima stuff. They’re like best mates, after all.
