Among Us Fans Can Earn Free Geoff Keighley Mask By Watching Summer Game Fest
A collaboration between Among Us and Summer Game Fest 2021 will allow the event's viewers to earn the game's coveted Geoff Keighley mask.
A collaboration between Summer Game Fest 2021 and Among Us will allow players to unlock a mask of Geoff Keighley. The upcoming summer-long game festival, a follow-up to last year's Summer Game Fest 2020, is organized by popular game journalist Geoff Keighley. The months-long event will officially kick off with a live stream on June 10.
While a mask bearing the likeness of Geoff Keighley may sound a bit outrageous, this is actually not his first foray into Innersloth's indie title. The game journalist's first introduction to the suspicious and paranoid world of Among Us occurred last year, with a mask bearing the celebrity's face being offered as a reward for those who watched The Game Awards 2020. The realistic face mask, its lifeless eyes quite disturbing when combined with the cartoonish world of Among Us, was gifted to players who were watching the Game Awards on Twitch when the mask was revealed.
An announcement from Geoff Keighley's official Twitter account confirms that the Among Us mask which bears his likeness will be given to those who watch the Summer Game Fest 2021 Kickoff Event. Watching the June 10th event for at least 15 minutes will gift the unsettling Geoff Keighley mask as a Twitch Drop, allowing gamers to repair a spaceship or slaughter astronauts while looking like the iconic event host. Tweets from Keighley also reveal that Among Us fans should expect exciting news about the indie title to be revealed during Summer Game Fest.
As a direct competitor to the annual long-running video game industry event E3, Keighley's Summer Game Fest 2021 is making an effort to draw viewers away from the more well-known event. Several big developers and publishers will be featured throughout the season-long streaming event, including Ubisoft and Bethesda. Some rumors even indicate that Elden Ring, the hotly anticipated upcoming title from FromSoftware, will be absent from E3 and will instead be showcased during Summer Game Fest 2021. Huge announcements and reveals such as this may give Keighley's event a significant edge over its long-running competitor.
Summer Game Fest 2021 kicks off in just a few days, and promotion for the gaming event is beginning to really ramp up. Although it may seem like a rather small prize, the return of Among Us' Keighley mask demonstrates a strong collaboration between the event's popular organizer and the developers that will be showcased. If similar promotions are conducted throughout the entire summer event, Summer Game Fest 2021 is sure to attract plenty of viewers.
Summer Game Fest 2021 will begin on June 10.
