In terms of what we’re expecting, a lot of big third-party games have been thrown around lately including Hollow Knight Silksong, and Red Dead Redemption 2 port for Nintendo Switch 2, but given the lack of third-party announcements lately, we’re expecting it to be a big showcase.

Obviously we’ll be up tomorrow night bringing you all of the announcements as they happen, so stay tuned.
