The gaming industry assembles in downtown LA every June for the E3 press conference to witness the reveals of upcoming games to the world for the first time. E3 is more than a gaming conference; it's a cultural movement where gamers assemble to celebrate our favourite past time of button smashing!
E3 2018 has been full of new trailers, reveals and updates. With all the excitement, it's sometimes tough to keep up with all the news.
We've rounded up 10 of the finest and coolest trailers and games right here for you to watch (or re-watch) at your leisure while you patiently wait for all the awesome games to be released so you can take part in the action.
1. CYBERPUNK 2077
Welcome to the world of Cyberpunk 2077. This is the story-driven, open world RPG of the dark future from CD PROJEKT RED, creators of The Witcher series of games. The trailer shows the stunning futuristic city that will be the backbone of the game.
You're also introduced to the customizable player character V, a hired mercenary on the rise to become an urban legend.
2. SKYRIM: VERY SPECIAL EDITION (YOU MUST SEE IT!)
In this hilarious trailer, we get Keegan Michael-Key (from Key & Peele) playing some Skyrim on some new devices, including an Etch-a-Sketch, a fridge (which dumps ice when you hit it, say no more). The real highlight is how he's able to play Skyrim on...Alexa.
Skyrim on Alexa may actually be real, at least we hope so!
3. Forza Horizon 4
Forza Horizon 4 is for sheer fun, set in Britain's open-world with a focus on exploration and tournaments.
Horizon 4 added a weather system that will change and evolve over time. Players are able to link up with other racers in real time with a multiplayer system.
4. WOLFENSTEIN: YOUNGBLOOD
Set in 1980's Paris, it puts players in the shoes of B.J. Blazkowicz's twin daughters, Jess and Soph, continuing their father's fight against invading Nazis.
There will always be more Nazis to kill; that is one constant in video games. You'll be able to play through the game as either a co-op or a single-player.
5. ANTHEM
Immerse yourself in an armoured-suit open-world multiplayer action with gorgeous RPG where you get to explore in your Iron-Man-Type armour, delve into a vast world packed with amazing tech and lost treasures.
Combat scenes appear engaging, blending more accustomed gunfights with the added mobility of the suits for a more 3D take on the genre.
6. GHOST OF TSUSHIMA
Let us paint you a picture. In 1274, the formidable Mongol Empire invades the Japanese island of Tsushima and slew its legendary samurai defenders. Jin Sakai (that's your character in the game) is one of the last survivors of the noble samurai. Facing his overwhelming enemies, he must revolutionise a deadly fighting technique--The way of The Ghost.
With amazing combat on the hills and forests of Japan, the climax sunset duel is a scene right out of a classic samurai film.
7. BEYOND GOOD & EVIL 2
Ubisoft's long-in-development Beyond Good & Evil 2 confirmed for the first time that the characters Jade and Pey'j from the prequel 2003 cult classic will be along for the ride too.
In Beyond Good & Evil 2, you are the space pirate captain who is free to set your own path in this vast open universe. It will transport you into a profoundly multicultural world, capturing the spirit of the original with magnificent decors and intense dramas that play out across a vast universe.
8. THE LAST OF US PART II
In this extensive 12-minute trailer we look at The Last of Us Part II. An upcoming action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for PS4.
The demo is very impressive and allows players to view how survival & stealth gameplay will come together in a stunning cinematic way as players step into the shoes of Ellie, who is the main playable character.
9. ASSASSIN'S CREED: ODYSSEY
Say it with me: THIS IS SPARTA!
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. It has developed newer, richer role-playing mechanics that will let you decide how the story unfolds. Spoiler alert: There are also new options to romance NPCs (make love, not war) instead of simply stabbing them to death.
Get ready to embark on your journey and on the way you can customize your gear, upgrade your abilities, and personalize your ship and become a Spartan hero in the process.
10. SPIDER-MAN
As we're getting closer to the September 7th release, the only question is: can he really do everything a spider can?
This is Spidey in a story unlike any before it. Now a seasoned pro he is faced with overwhelming odds and higher stakes, Spider-Man must rise up and be greater.
