In a recent tweet, Geoff Keighley briefly teased what to expect from the Summer Game Fest 2021 Kickoff Live. According to him, fans can look forward to the following things at the event:

• 30+ games, a combination of new game reveals, and long-awaited updates.
• Guests: Jeff Goldblum, Giancarlo Esposito, and surprises + devs.
• Musical performances: Weezer, Japanese Breakfast, Sonic Symphony.
• Day of the Devs.

Giancarlo Esposito's presence is particularly interesting as he will be playing the role of Anton Castello in the upcoming game, Far Cry 6.

From Vaas and Pagan Min to Father Joseph Seed, the Far Cry series has had some of the most memorable and charming antagonists. Giancarlo Esposito’s Anton Castello seems to be no different as the dictator of the paradise island of Yara.
