Regarding the question of crossover events with E3 2021 and other events in the similar timeframe, Geoff Keighley responded that some announcements may be common across SGF and other events, but that the Kickoff Live Show on June 10th will have some exclusive content. Keighley also stated that,
“not all the partners will have content in the Kickoff Show. Some will obviously save major news for their own events, which we will be supporting and streaming too! Picture will become more clear once partners announce events.”
All in all, Summer Game Fest 2021 is looking bright for video game fans across the world.
