The biggest week in gaming is almost here and there are a ton of titles we expect to see at E3 2018. From The Last of Us Part II to Red Dead Redemption 2 to Metroid Prime 4, there are a ton of fantastic games that could show up. With no major hardware releases on the horizon, this year will be about the software. Companies such as Sony and Bethesda will try to keep their momentum going, while Microsoft and EA desperately need a strong showing.
We have compiled all of the information you need for E3 2018. Below you can find the press conference schedule, where to watch the events, a list of the confirmed games, and all of the titles that are rumored to be there. This article will be constantly updated as new information, leaks, and rumors spring up. Here is everything you need to know about this year’s E3.
E3 2018 Schedule
Currently, Sony has not announced a time for their E3 press conference, however, we suspect it will be held on June 11. We also have no word on when the PC Games Show and Devolver Digital’s press conference will take place. Given how insane and wildly popular Devolver Digital’s showing was last year, we expect more insanity from this company. Nintendo’s start time has also not been revealed yet, but users should expect a Nintendo Direct and not an actual conference.
- Electronic Arts: June 9, 11:00PM PT
- Microsoft: June 10, 1:00PM PT
- Bethesda: June 10, 6:30PM PT
- Ubisoft: June 11, 1:00PM PT
When is E3 2018
E3 is broken up into two portions – the conferences and the show floor. The former is when major companies get to show off their latest games, while the latter is when press and fans get to try out an assortment of upcoming titles. There are two different times for the show hours, as the press has access earlier than the general public. We will be both times since some outlets may stream their previews or content. Make sure to check above for the different conference times.

Just like every other E3, there are a ton of rumors surrounding the various developers, conferences, and games. When looking through the rumors it’s important to recognize what games do and don’t have a chance at actually appearing at E3 2018. While we would love to see the rumored BioShock game shown off, it is highly unlikely. In contrast, a title like From Software’s Shadows Die Twice – has a good shot at being seen during Sony’s press conference.
