Add as a preferred source on Google

Square Enix is bringing a lot to the table in 2021. Just recently, the company began hosting its own digital showcases called Square Enix Presents. And Square Enix will hold another stream at E3 2021, bringing plenty of announcements (and hopefully a surprise or two) along the way.

While E3 is always a time of speculation, Square Enix has already shared a few titles that will receive the big stage treatment. However, it’s still unclear if certain games like Final Fantasy XVI will appear or not. Here’s everything that you can expect and how to watch it today.

When is Square Enix Presents 2021?

Square’s E3 event will air today at 12:15 p.m. PT. Square Enix has revealed via press release that the event will run for about 40 minutes.

Where to watch the Square Enix Presents E3 stream

Square will be streaming its fully digital event on its official Twitch and YouTube channels. Both broadcasts will start simultaneously, leaving fans free to pick whichever platform they prefer.

What will be shown at Square Enix Presents?

Square has made it clear that the event will focus on previously announced games, along with one world premiere of a new game from Eidos-Montréal. Fan speculation points to the rumored Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy game as a possible contender.

We’ll also see PlatinumGames’ new title Babylon’s Fall, as well as previews of Life is Strange: Remastered CollectionLife is Strange: True Colors, and the new Marvel’s Avengers expansion, Black Panther: War for Wakanda.

What won’t be shown at Square Enix Presents

There are tons of games that Square Enix fans are hungry for news on, but as shown above, not many of them will appear at its E3 event. While there could be a surprise in store for Final Fantasy fans, it’s doubtful that Square will deviate from the plan and bring up any news for Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2 or Final Fantasy 16. That goes doubly so for Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade, which launches on June 10, and Final Fantasy XIV, which just got a big update announcement of its own.

Nvidia’s new RTX Spark platform has landed one of its first major games. Sega has confirmed that Virtua Fighter Crossroads will run on RTX Spark-powered laptops and compact desktop PCs when the game arrives in 2027. More Sega titles are also heading to the platform, although neither company has named them yet.

The announcement also marks more than 30 years of collaboration between Nvidia and Sega, a relationship that began when Nvidia’s NV1 graphics chip helped bring the original Virtua Fighter to PC. Sega later helped keep the young chipmaker alive by turning a $5 million payment into an investment when Nvidia was close to running out of money.

TCL has spent years saying inkjet-printed OLED could improve image quality, efficiency, lifespan, and manufacturing costs. Back in 2024, the company was still showing prototype laptop panels and promising a “comprehensive breakthrough” once the technology was ready for commercial products.

Two years later, it has finally arrived in a gaming laptop. Lenovo’s new Legion R9000P uses a 16-inch panel that TCL CSOT describes as the world’s first inkjet-printed OLED display integrated into a laptop.
