E3 2018 Schedule
Currently, Sony has not announced a time for their E3 press conference, however, we suspect it will be held on June 11. We also have no word on when the PC Games Show and Devolver Digital’s press conference will take place. Given how insane and wildly popular Devolver Digital’s showing was last year, we expect more insanity from this company.

When is E3 2018
E3 is broken up into two portions – the conferences and the show floor. The former is when major companies get to show off their latest games, while the latter is when press and fans get to try out an assortment of upcoming titles. There are two different times for the show hours, as the press has access earlier than the general public. We will be both times since some outlets may stream their previews or content. Make sure to check above for the different conference times.

When looking through the rumors it’s important to recognize what games do and don’t have a chance at actually appearing at E3 2018. While we would love to see the rumored BioShock game shown off, it is highly unlikely. In contrast, a title like From Software’s Shadows Die Twice – has a good shot at being seen during Sony’s press conference.
