The 2018 edition of the Electronic Entertainment Expo will be kicking off on June 12-14 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. But before feet hit the show floor, there will be several days’ worth of press conferences from the biggest game and console publishers, and the schedule for these conferences has started to be announced.

Electronic Arts will be first up at this year’s E3, with their presser taking place on Saturday, June 9, at 11 AM PST. This won’t actually be officially part of E3, but instead will be part of “EA Play,” taking place at the same time. Many are expecting more details on Anthem, being developed by Bioware and published by EA.

On June 10, Microsoft will be presenting at 1 PM PT; the company has struggled in this console generation with regards to system-exclusive games, so many are hoping for some big-name exclusive titles to be announced here. Bethesda will be presenting at 6:30 PM PT that same day – with nothing formally announced as being in development from them right now, it’s bound to be full of surprises. A big expectation from Bethesda is the announcement of a sixth Elder Scrolls title, given that the most recent one, Skyrim, arrived back in 2011.

Ubisoft will be taking the stage on Monday, June 11 at 1 PM PT. Last year’s biggest surprise was Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, so expectations are high going into this year’s show.

Sony and Nintendo have yet to formally announce their E3 plans, though Sony has usually held their presser on Monday night, while Nintendo releases their big prerecorded Nintendo Direct presentation online on Tuesday morning of the show.
