Watch Every E3 2018 Press Conference LIVE Here
For gamers, it doesn't get more exciting than E3. It's the biggest gaming expo of the year, and the only time when all console makers and major publishers come together to show off their latest and greatest titles. It's where gameplay reveals for this holiday season's biggest games are shown, and where dream game announcements (like Final Fantasy VII Remake and Shenmue III) are made.
Various game announcements will be spread out all weekend, as Electronic Arts will have the first press conference on Saturday, June 9. Microsoft and Bethesda will follow suit on Sunday, while Monday is packed with Square Enix, Ubisoft, and Sony fighting to grab the headlines. Finally, Nintendo will close out press conferences with their own Nintendo Direct video on Tuesday, June 12.
