This year’s E3 will be the first to feature the E3 Coliseum, a new event that the Entertainment Software Association hope will bring attendees closer to games developers and industry professionals. With the full line-up now announced, gamers heading to E3 now know what to expect from the new main stage event.
Gamers can expect the two-day event, happening on June 13th and 14th, to include live demos of games being showcased at E3, developer panels, Q&As, and more, covering the full spectrum of gaming and experiences available across PC, consoles, smartphones and, of course, virtual reality.
Game fans can look forward to more than just game industry veterans appearing on stage too, as confirmed special guests include recognisable names such as actor Jack Black, popular astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, screenwriter of Guardians of the Galaxy James Gunn, Breaking Bad writer Gennifer Hutchison, Ghostbusters producer Ivan Reitman, Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts, and more.
Titles confirmed to be shown at the event include Call of Duty: WWII, Assassin’s Creed, and a brand new title from Bethesda Softworks, which is due to be announced at their event.
If you’re enjoying E3 from home, you can still get involved with E3 Coliseum. Viewers will be invited to submit questions during panels and Q&As, while watching the event on either Facebook Live, Twitch, Mixer or YouTube.
