E3 is so close we can pretty much taste it. It's exciting to think a fully fledged gaming event is on the horizon, and now the anticipation is even higher as more publishers have confirmed their attendance.
In the latest announcement, it was revealed that Square Enix, Bandai Namco, SEGA, XSEED Games/Marvelous USA, Gearbox Entertainment, Freedom Games, Devious Eye Entertainment, Turtle Beach, Verizon, and Binge.com will be all be attending. Just a few, then...
Obviously, the speculation mill is already turning with one of the most obvious games on everyone's lips being Elden Ring with Bandai Namco's attendance. But there's so much we'd like to see. With SEGA there and it being Sonic's 30th anniversary, we'd love to see something in the pipeline for that series. It would also be great to see if there's any upcoming support for Final Fantasy VII Remake on Xbox.
E3 returns on June 12 and will run until June 15. Xbox has already confirmed its attendance, along with Capcom, Take-Two Interactive, Warner Bros. Games, and many more. Ubisoft has also confirmed it'll be joining along, and has even provided a date and time for when. This year's E3 is shaping up to be an exciting time and will hopefully bring back the magic that was missing from last year's announcements.

Call me old school, but I still love e3. Its an exciting time of the year for game fans and I am looking forward to this year as always
@Sakai Oh I still love it to. It really used to be my Xmas. Sure it's not the same, times change.. what ya going to do. Anyways..
Here's hoping MS comes out swinging with a couple first party games not named Halo, that are not boring CGI renders and better yet, actually coming out this year.
I'm looking forward to Sega announcing Virtua Fighter 5 again, so the few crazy people who think they're actually rebooting the series will shut up already
I mean honestly, when they did their "eSports focused" Puyo Puyo title, they just took their most recently released game (PP Tetris), modified it (took out the Tetris) and re-released it - that's the precedent here. In their "Virtua Fighter x eSports" reveal trailer, Akira is literally just watching footage of Final Showdown in the background. Plus, ratings boards in certain countries have leaked Virtua Fighter 5 ULTIMATE Showdown. Sega doesn't have the money or the team to make a brand new Virtua Fighter, and I have no idea why some people tried so hard to push a rumor out suggesting as such. Sega should've really just gotten out in front of this whole business with some honesty instead of announcing it then going quiet, imo.
I guess their new Sonic could be neat too, but honestly, some of the newer fangames have really re-adjusted my expectations for what a new Sonic game COULD be (just look up Sonic GT. Seriously impressive stuff).
Also hoping Bandai Namco brings some kind of Blue Protocol western announcement/roadmap
Gamer Christmas is coming! We need festive music to get into the nerd holiday spirit!
