E3 2018: conference times, publishers, games – everything you need to know

E3 2018 is just around the corner, so here’s everything you need to know about video games’ biggest event of the year.

For the second year in a row, E3 is open to the public as well as press, but we’ll be there, in amongst it all, to bring you the biggest and best stories from the show floor.

Before that happens, though, here’s what we know about who’s going and what they are likely showing.

E3 2018 start date

E3 2018 runs from June 12-14 in Los Angeles. As is becoming increasingly normal, some of the biggest publishers have opted to not show off their reveals during the show, instead making an event of their own from nearby. Here’s a rundown of what and when.

E3 Conference dates and times

With many of the big players opting for their own shows, E3 extends well beyond the two days of the main convention. Here are the ones we know about so far.

EA: June 9 – 2:00pm ET – 7:00pm BST

Bethesda: June 10 – 9:30pm ET / June 11 – 2:30am BST

Microsoft: June 10 – 4:00pm ET / 9:00pm BST

Ubisoft: June 11 – 4:00pm ET / 9:00pm BST

Nintendo: June 12 – 12:00pm ET / 5:00pm BST

We will bring you more times as the publishers announce them.
