Razer will debut new hardware at E3 2021 keynote

Razer's first-ever E3 2021 showcase will include a keynote debuting new hardware as well as a post-show live stream, the tech company has announced.

If you want to catch what Razer's got in store for this year's E3, tune into its official YouTube channel or Twitch channel at 3pm PDT / 6pm EDT on Monday, June 14. At that time, Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan will take the virtual stage to reveal some new products being added to the company's lineup.

If you fancy yourself a fortune teller, or simply someone with a hunch as to what Razer might reveal at this year's E3, head here to submit your guess for a chance to win a brand-new mouse which we hailed as "a resounding success" - read more about this particular model in our Razer Orochi review.

This isn't the first time Razer has been at E3, but it is the first time it's hosting a dedicated showcase instead of simply manning a booth. Following the roughly 45-minute keynote, RazerStore Live kicks off with up-close looks at Razer's new products and chances to win prizes.

Razer's announcement of its debut E3 showcase doesn't include a whole ton of detail, so it's tough to know right now what to expect. That said, it's unlikely the company would plan an entire E3 showing for a new mouse pad, so there's a good chance we'll see some pretty nifty keyboards, mice, and maybe even a new laptop or desktop.

Of course, Razer will be joining Microsoft, Ubisoft, Bethesda, Nintendo, Square Enix, and even GamesRadar's own Future Games Show for this year's all-digital E3. On top of the usual showcases, reveals, and demos, this year's E3 is shaking things up with its very own awards show taking place on the final day of the virtual event. Awards will be handed out based on votes from a panel of editors from IGN, GameSpot, PC Gamer, and yours truly.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
