"When I started Summer Game Fest back in the summer of 2020 in this very room, I dreamed of one day being able to have the community with us to react to all the news and announcements," Keighley said. "Well, finally, that time has come. Tickets are on sale today. I hope you can join us in Los Angeles for this special event.
