A followup to Microsoft’s entertainment-focused Xbox One reveal last month, this time the company promises it’s all about the games (and likely a price and release date reveal). In fact, according to GameTrailers TV’s Geoff Keighley, it’ll be “90 minutes of wall to wall games.”

Expect to hear more about Forza Motorsport 5, Ryse, and Quantum Break, a “historic” Rare IP, and some of those other 11 exclusive games in development at Microsoft Game Studios. Considering past E3s, it’s safe to expect a Call of Duty: Ghosts stage demo, too.

After: Microsoft will also host three days of hour-long coverage on Xbox LIVE and Xbox.com from June 11 to 13 at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET.

Electronic Arts

When: June 10 from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. PDT (find your local time)
Where: GameTrailers.com, EA.com, IGN.com, Spike TV (U.S. and Canada only)

Electronic Arts will highlight its next-generation lineup with Battlefield 4, Need for Speed: Rivals, Dragon Age III: Inquisition, Madden NFL 25, FIFA 14, NBA LIVE 14, and EA Sports UFC. The publisher will also provide a “first look” at its plans for the Star Wars franchise, the rights to which they required last month. A sequel to Mirror’s Edge might also appear for next-gen consoles.

Ubisoft

When: June 10 from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. PDT (find your local time)
Where: GameTrailers.com, IGN.com, YouTube

Ubisoft will show Watch Dogs and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, likely with an emphasis on next-gen, as well as Rayman Legends, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Expect further announcements, including “exclusive next-generation games, innovative editions of popular franchises, and new brands and titles,” with Aisha Taylor again at the helm of it all. Rumor has it Driver studio Ubisoft Reflections is developing a new racer called “The Crew.”

Sony

When: June 10 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. PDT (find your local time)
Where: GameTrailers.com, Google Plus, IGN.com, PlayStation Blog, Ustream, PlayStation Home, PS Vita (via Nico Nico video app)

A followup to February’s PlayStation 4 reveal, Sony will unveil the console’s final hardware and make new game announcements. Confirmed appearances include a stage demo for Bungie‘s Destiny and the reveal of a new Final Fantasy for PlayStation 4 (rumored to be Final Fantasy Versus XIII).

Other games speculated to appear include the next title from God of War developer Santa Monica Studio, the next game from Naughty Dog‘s Uncharted team, Media Molecule‘s new game, Guerrilla Games‘ second project, Ready at Dawn’s PlayStation 4 title, and others.

We’ll likely see more of Knack, inFAMOUS: Second Son, DriveClub, and Killzone: Shadow Fall, too. A release date and price for PlayStation 4 are also expected. Considering Sony also has PlayStation 3 and PS Vita to support, expect a portion of time dedicated to both platforms with both new and previously announced games like Beyond, Gran Turismo 6, Tearaway, and Killzone: Mercenary.

After: Sony will host three days of show floor coverage from 12 to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, on Ustream. Over 40 games will be previewed across PlayStation 4, PS3, and PS Vita.

Nintendo

When: June 11 at 7 a.m. PDT (find your local time)
Where: Nintendo.com (US), Nintendo.co.uk (EU), Nintendo.co.jp (JP)

Nintendo has confirmed it will show a new 3D Mario, Super Smash Bros., and Mario Kart for Wii U. The next project from Metroid Prime and Donkey Kong Country Returns developer Retro Studios is also expected.

The company should also shed light on other titles like The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Monolith Soft‘s new RPG, Yarn Yoshi, and Bayonetta 2. A few game announcements shouldn’t be put past them, either.

After: Nintendo will continue providing coverage throughout E3 at Nintendo.com. Additionally, on June 11 at 6 p.m. PDT, Nintendo will hold a media-only, 90-minute Pokemon X and Y event. It will not be streamed.
