E3 2017 Schedule Released, all Press Events and Times!
E3 is just around the corner, find out when everything begins and how you can get involved by watching the events live from June 11th - June 15th as publishers reveal their secret projects.
When it comes to gaming, one of the biggest events in the year is the E3 Expo held in the Los Angeles Convention Center and will reveal some of biggest upcoming titles. The event itself kicks off on Tuesday June 13th, but Press Events for the major publishers will be held prior to the launch of the event itself with Bethesda, Microsoft, Ubisoft and Sony all set to make announcements.
This year we can expect some big announcements, especially from Ubisoft who teased us yesterday with news on Far Cry 5, a new Assassin's Creed, The Crew 2 and South Park: Fractured but Whole (which is the 3rd time it's been at E3 - and hopefully last). Elsewhere Bethesda have been teasing things with some "under construction" images which point to either a new franchise or a returning favourite set to be unveiled. Last year, there was a mysterious tease for a new Wolfenstein title during their press event so perhaps this is the year we finally get that. There's even been a few rumours that we may see the next Elder Scrolls game teased (though even if we do, it's still unlikely to release this year).
Microsoft will no doubt bring some news about their upcoming Scorpio console, which is being touted as the "most power console ever". With leaked specs to reveal that it is more than capable of delivering on that promise we'll have to wait and see what the final product is. Sony themselves have been a little quiet on hardware recently, will they be announcing their next console this year as well?
Nintendo have already had a great year with the release of the Switch, expect even more from their titles including gameplay from Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2 and maybe even a tease for another Pokemon or Metroid game? We've been hoping for a Metroid game for years and the launch of the Switch would be a great time to bring back the franchise in all it's glory.

As the event begins, you will be able to watch each show via a stream (unless you're attending of course). This year marks the first year that the public have been allowed to visit the event and while tickets may be sold out it will be a fantastic experience for those who have always wanted to visit but were never able to due to it being an industry only event prior to now.
What other surprises can we expect at E3? Who knows, perhaps this is the year for Half-Life 3 :D
E3 starts on June 13-15th, but press events begin on June 11th. We will be bringing you even more great content as we get closer to the event (and during it). We'll be at the event to bring you some behind the scenes straight from the show floor!
