There is clearly a lot of information and games that will be detailed with this event, but some of the ones to note are Spider-Man for the PS4, the new Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry 5, and Destiny 2. It’s clear that Keighley wants to really promote a variety of different games, icons, and hardware that are set to release in the near future. One interesting inclusion is Hideo Kojima, as he has already confirmed his game Death Stranding will not be at E3 this year.
