When grasping an understanding to determine what firm is presenting when for this coming E3 next week, there is not much to elaborate upon in terms of the official schedule – mainly since there is not one yet. Although there is a laid out roster provided by the Electronic Software Association (ESA) in the past, the firm went on to double-down on those attending in a later update as well.
Currently, there is a select number of showcases taking place: Ubisoft Forward on June 12, Xbox-Bethesda Showcase on June 13, and Nintendo Direct for June 15 are just a couple of the major events taking place then. But, there are several presentations that will take place across the course of E3. Even more, there is a post-mortem E3 Awards Show as well that the ESA unveiled on Wednesday.
On Thursday, the ESA issued the complete schedule for E3 2021 which you can read below:
June 12
E3 2021 will kick off with press conferences from Ubisoft and Gearbox Entertainment, as well as a session with GamesBeat.
June 13
Microsoft’s long-awaited Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase will take place starting at 10am PT / 1pm ET.
Fans can also look forward to special presentations from Square Enix, the PC Gaming Show and the Future Games Show.
Warner Bros. Games & Back4Blood and 24 Entertainment will also be featured.
June 14
Alongside press conferences from several indie developers, presentations from Take-Two Interactive, Mythical Games, Freedom Games, Razer and Capcom will take place throughout the day.
Verizon and Intellivision will also be featured, along with a session with VENN.
June 15
The last day of E3 will include Nintendo’s Nintendo Direct and Nintendo Treehouse: Live programming starting at 9am PT / 12pm ET.
Bandai Namco, Yooreka Games and GameSpot will also have focused events.
The broadcast will round out with the Official E3 2021 Awards Show.
What will not be present at the show, however, is Konami. Although originally forecasted to be attend the event, the Japanese publisher last month pressed that the projects in anticipation for the June reveal window is too soon for the firm. Instead, the company will be absent and leaves uncertainty as to when its new projects will be revealed.
Additionally, The entirety of the E3 schedule will be hosted by three industry celebrities: Greg Miller, Jacki Jing, and Alex “Goldenboy” Mendez. Although the trio will be present throughout the course of E3 for the four days, it is unclear if either of them will also be presenting for the E3 Awards Show to end this year’s event.
