According to Keighley, the two-hour show will offer “a new look at this holiday’s biggest upcoming video games and what lies beyond.” Other than Saints Row, confirmed appearances include Call of Duty: Vanguard, The King of Fighters XV, Splitgate, and a new game from Devolver Digital.We’ll cover the announcements here so tune in on August 25th.
