This year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo will run from June 12 to 14, but the festivities will begin on June 9 with 10 press conferences leading up to the show. As we do every year, this post is your mega-schedule to follow the games industry’s biggest event in its entirety.
(Editor’s Note: This post will be updated with additional scheduled events and titles leading up to E3 2018. Live Thread links, where you can discuss each press conference with the rest of the community as they happen, will be accessible shortly before the start of each event.)
