What was meant to be a weekend-long livestream to showcase new games has been shrunk down to a single day and it’s all very “Hush Hush” EA hasn’t had the most stellar start to their 2019. Even though Apex Legends has been a smash hit for them, huge tentpole titles like Anthem and Battlefield 5 dramatically underperformed both critically and …
Even without some of its biggest players, the annual showcase of all things to do with video games is still shaping up to have plenty to show off via the tried and trusted press conference gauntlet. Now spread out over several days instead of one gruelling marathon, here’s a look at when you can see the hottest new reveals ahead of E3 2019 grand opening.
June 10 is when Ubisoft will hold their event at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, same procedure as every year James. And like every year before it, it’s probably going to be…weird.
Welcome to E3 2019! Over here you’ll see Sony’s latest offerings and uh…Wait, they’re not here this year. Okay, moving on you can see what Microsoft has in store and oh wait they moved their operations to the Nokia theater across the road from us.

For the first time in 24 years, Sony and Playstation will be skipping E3 entirely and not hold a conference or a spot on the show floor in 2019.
Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden has an unnecessarily long name, but it’s easily one of the games I’m most looking forward to this year. One of the biggest personal surprises for me at this year’s E3, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a delightfully absurd, brutally challenging third-person tactical, squad-based sneak-em-up shooter that deftly blends real-time third-person exploration and stealth with XCOM-esque turn-based shooting.

A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves! The only thing more frightening, is a glimpse at your empty bank account when it comes to deciding whether or not you can grab Resident Evil Village this month. Capcom's successor to its long-running survival-horror franchise is finally out, and if you've read our review then you know the game is a winner on multiple levels.
