This year’s E3 conference may be somewhat muted when comparing it to last year’s announcements of next-gen consoles and AAA titles. Factor in the delays due to the pandemic, and there’s a recipe for the individual events to be a little rushed. Announcements are likely to be packed with more little details and updates than ground-breaking launches. Those long-awaited releases are what we’ve all been waiting for, though, especially when it comes to the likes of Battlefield 6 and Bethesda’s next projects.
At a glance, the show schedule for E3 2021 is full to the brim with a mix of the huge companies and small studios everyone has been waiting to hear from. Below is a list of the currently scheduled events upcoming in chronological order, with dates and times:
