Geoff Keighley and his band of merry guests take to the YouTube Theatre stage for a bumper set of world premieres, first-looks, and new game reveals this weekend and we're bound to see plenty of new information about existing games (and a few surprises along the way).

We know that the first details about Blumhouse Games will be revealed live on the YouTube Theatre stage, at least. Something for horror fans to look forward to.
