It's E3 2017 season and you know what that means – or, by gum, our SEO is getting so good it pulls in muggles who have no idea what's going on. In which case, hello! Sorry about this.
What E3 2017 means is games. Games, games, games. Trailers for games. News about games. Anticipated games. Totally surprising games. Games everybody expected and still cheer madly for when they arrive. Games nobody asked for but there, that's the games industry for you.
This year's show kicked off on Saturday with EA's now annual EA Play event, and will continue Sunday with Microsoft's Xbox showcase and Bethesda's livestream. Ubisoft and Sony follow up on Monday, and that's the worst of it over before the E3 2017 show doors even open on Tuesday.
On top of these big E3 2017 conferences there will be a stack of livestreams from Nintendo, YouTube and Twitch, filled with reveals and showcases – so we're expecting big heaps of news and trailers and games, games, games, all week long.
Check with our full E3 2017 livestream schedule if you'd like to watch for yourself, but otherwise bookmark this page and check back regularly – we'll keep rounding up the biggest news, trailers and of course games from E3 2017.
EA was the first cab off the rank this year and it took the chance to knock socks off with some great big titles and even – bless – a totally new IP. In the year 2017! It's an E3 miracle.
EA Play E3 2017 – news, trailers, games
First teaser for BioWare's new IP, Anthem
New IP A Way Out only playable in local co-op
Battlefield 1 In The Name of the Tsar
Battlefield 1 Turning Tides, Apocalypse
Battlefield 1 Premium Pass update
EA Vault Trials for PC and PS4 this week
The biggest hits of EA's E3 2017 presentation were obvious.
For starters, there was Star Wars Battlefront 2. The Star Wars Battlefront 2 reveal included a live 40-player battle and plenty of apologies for the mess EA made of the first Star Wars Battlefront. Even the fact that EA's sponsored YouTube partners leaked gameplay in advance of the show couldn't spoil the excitement.
Need for Speed Payback was another highlight. Racing fans are tremendously excited about the latest from Ghost Games and after seeing those trailers we can't blame 'em. Go put them in your eyeballs immediately.
There was tremendous social buzz around EA's new IP, A Way Out. From the creator of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, it a gritty prison break adventure and can only be played in couch co-op. Amazing. Definitely check out the gameplay trailer at the very least.
We were massively excited to get a first look at Anthem, BioWare's new IP, but unfortunately it was only very brief. The full reveal is coming during Microsoft's show. (Don't worry, PC and PS4 fans – the game isn't Xbox exclusive.) Still, the teaser is very exciting – giant mechs! yeah!
EA also chatted about Battlefield 1's In the Name of the Tsar expansion, the next two Battlefield 1 expansions after that, new content for Battlefield 1 Premium players, FIFA 18, FIFA 18 on Switch, Madden NFL 18 and NBA Live 18.
Finally, it gave PC and PS4 players one week of various free trial offers – go take advantage now!
Microsoft and Xbox @ E3 2017
Coming soon. For now, read our rundown of what to expect from Microsoft, Xbox One and Project Scorpio at E3 2017; while we're not confident Microsoft can bring the goods game-wise, the tech has everyone very excited.
One thing worth noting now, though: Xbox One S has had a $50 price drop all of a sudden. Interesting, that, isn't it.
Bethesda @ E3 2017
Coming soon. For now, read our rundown of what to expect from Bethesda at E3 2017; we're looking at new The Evil Within and Wolfenstein announces as well as Quake Champions and The Elder Scrolls updates, and have our fingers crossed for a surprise from the Bethesda Game Studios team or Fallout brand.
Ubisoft @ E3 2017
Coming soon. We're expecting a lot out of Ubisoft at E3 2017 as the publisher makes a bid to claw back its third-party top spot: Assassin's Creed Origins, Far Cry 5 and South Park are likely only the start of it.
Sony PlayStation @ E3 2017
Coming soon. With the final slot of the big press conferences, Sony is in a prime position to send us off into the rest of the week with a bang, and it almost certainly will. Check in with what we expect from Sony and PlayStation at E3 2017 and try not to explode from excitement.
