After being canceled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, E3 is back for 2021 in an all-digital format, kicking off on June 12th. And with Microsoft and Nintendo finally having announced the dates and times for their big showcase presentations, the event schedule is starting to fall into place.
If you want to attend the virtual event as a fan, you can now register to attend on E3’s website so that you can get access to the E3 portal and app. But if you want to follow along with the press conferences and announcements, we’ve put together a rough timeline of events with everything that we’re aware of. (Note that the exact times of some presentations haven’t been announced yet.)
Take-Two! Warner Bros.! Square Enix! Gearbox! Updated on 3 June 2021
With just a week to go until the still-rather-nebulous E3 2021, its organiser the ESA has issued a rough guide on what to expect via its livestreams each day.
Alongside concrete press conference details already announced separately by certain companies (Microsoft, Ubisoft, Nintendo), there are mentions of various publisher presentations which will slot into E3 2021 programming.
Hopefully we ll get a clearer timeframe for everything over the next week.
Saturday, 12th June will include press conferences from Ubisoft and Gearbox , with a pre-show livestream starting at 6pm UK time.
Ubisoft dated its E3 week Ubisoft Forward several months ago. It will be broadcast at 8pm UK time. There s no word yet on when Gearbox will do its thing.
