April 26, 20188 yr E3 2018: all the announcements from gaming's biggest show | TechRadar WWW.TECHRADAR.COM From FIFA 19 to Tomb Raider and everything in between The E3 2018 press conference schedule so far EA – June 9 at 11am PT/ 7pm BST Microsoft – June 10 at 1pm PT/ 9pm BST Bethesda – June 10 at 6.30 pm PT/ 2.30 am BST Ubisoft – June 11 at 1pm PT/ 9pm BST We now know that EA Play will be returning to Los Angeles' Hollywood Palladium from June 9 until June 11, just before E3 itself officially kicks off. EA has confirmed that, as you'd expect, fans will get the chance to see and play the latest EA Sports titles such as Madden 19, FIFA 19, NHL 19 and NBA Live 19 (if the latter performs well enough in the meantime). It's now also been confirmed that the new Battlefield game will make an appearance though we still don't know anything about what the game will actually involve. Anthem, the new monster-hunting IP from Canadian developer Bioware, looks to right the wrongs of Mass Effect Andromeda with its mashup of Lost Planet, Dark Void and The Division. Its dynamic environments, volatile weather patterns and co-operative action certainly have our attention, and though its release date has recently been pushed back, it’s going to one of the show’s biggest takeaways with a brand new "inside look." More details about what else will appear at the show are yet to be confirmed. What we want to see... Ubisoft We're quietly hopeful that we'll get to see actual gameplay - or at least something tangibly reportable - on Amy Hennig’s ‘Project Ragtag’ Star Wars game. Visceral has been very quiet since the forgettable Battlefield Hardline, so if we hear nothing from the studio by this point, we can safely assume the game might be forever stuck in development hell. Ubisoft has now confirmed that its press conference will be taking place on June 11 at 1pm PT/ 9pm BST. Outside of more details on a new Assassin’s Creed (personally, we’re hoping that Origins two-years development cycle becomes the new norm), we’re fully expecting Ubisoft to roll out the only other remaining Tom Clancy franchise worth its salt: Splinter Cell. With Michael Ironside rumoured to be returning to voice Sam Fisher, we’re excited to see a post-MGSV Splinter Cell and how it improve on the grossly underrated Blacklist. We also expect to see a little more information on The Division 2 now that it's been confirmed. Then there’s the big one: Beyond Good & Evil 2. This was the surprise reveal of E3 2017, and while the game is certainly in the early stages of its development, 2018 will mark the original game’s 20th anniversary, so we’re hoping for a little more insight into its world and the nature of the game to come. Oh, and could we see Rainbow Six Siege 2? With one of the biggest communities outside of COD and Battlefield, a follow up on Siege could well breach its way onto the stage in LA.
