Geoff commented on it from an inteview by Epicgames:

“You know, it’s great to have celebrities, it’s great to have music, but I think focusing really on games is important,” Keighley said. “Especially this year, there’ll be a lot of content for 2022 and 2023 that will be showing us our kind of biggest lineup yet of world premieres and announcements.”

Keighley continued, “It’s definitely a very busy year in terms of the number of games we’re being pitched. We’re blessed that pretty much every developer and publisher wants to have some degree of content on the show.”

Keighley could not go into specifics about what will be shown, but did tease that there will be some “truly pretty stunning” stuff.

“I still feel like we’ve only kind of sort of touched the surface of what’s possible on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, so I think you’ll see some stuff in the show that is truly pretty stunning,” Keighley said. “We’ll see footage of games that will remind people that the best of this industry is still to come.”

According to Keighley, “awards are about half the show, and the other half is the announcements and premieres.”

I don't care about the awards themselves, but I'm excited for what may get shown off. Since there's no more Smash characters, I wonder if Nintendo will bring anything to the table. I heard rumors of BotW2 trailer, but I don't believe it. I also heard a rumor they're going to show something Sonic related.
