After a year off, E3 returns in 2021 as a “reimagined, all-virtual” event. This year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo runs June 12-15, and promises appearances from Nintendo, Xbox, Capcom, Ubisoft, Square Enix, Take-Two Interactive, Warner Bros. Games, Sega, Bandai Namco, and more.

While the show won’t have a physical presence, the upside is that anyone and everyone can attend E3 by watching the press conferences, digital showcases, and other livestreams that will take place in June (and beyond). The Entertainment Software Association, the trade group that runs E3, has built a web portal and app for E3 that anybody can use to watch everything unfold — fan registration is now live https://e3expo-portal.com/#/login

(or just watch on twitch/youtube)

E3 organizers say that the event will officially kick off Saturday with a broadcast pre-show at 1 p.m. EDT/10 a.m. PDT. Ubisoft and Gearbox Entertainment will hold press conferences that day.

Things I mostly want are

Sly Cooper[Edit, So apparently there is a Sly Cooper Easter Egg in Ratchet and Clank, fingers crossed a remake is on the way]

Ace Attorney, hopefully AA7

Something Bioshock related, Extremely doubt it but Bioshock VR would be freaking amazing 

Doubt it but Fallout 4 announced for PSVR

Marvels Spider-Man 2

Injustice 3 or the Marvel vs DC fighting game that's rumored to happen 

Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 remake 

Just a tease of the next Rockstar game, I mainly want Bully

Also a new release date for FNAF Security Breach would be nice

There seems to be some real indication of a Marvel vs DC game in the style of Injustice/Mortal Kombat from NRS.

I don't know if it will happen...but, it's apparently not as far of a stretch as it should be.

If it does happen, it will be my reveal of the show.

There have been rumors of a DC vs Marvel game for a while now but I just don't believe it. Cross over events have happened in the comics but don't think there's a good chance of a game cross over. I'd geek the fu*ck out it actually happens though!

I'm simply expecting Injustice 3 announced and I am excited for that but would be even more hyped if it's an all new story that features earth 1 characters like the first game than an all elseworld game like the 2nd game

I don't think it's that much of a stretch, tbh. You're talking about Warner Brothers and Disney cutting a check. That's about it. If it will do good business for both, then I don't see it as an impossible endeavor. Plus, WB already has a pseudo relationship with Disney via Hulu. It's not like the old days where Marvel and DC were direct competitors. In 2021, we're seriously just talking about two corporations doing business.

most games i was looking forward to are either likely being shown another time (WWE, Gotham Knights, Suicide Squad, God of War) or the developer usually doesn’t bother with E3 (Rockstar, Naughty Dog), and Ubisoft refuses to give me my Splinter Cell so i guess i’m just down to see some new single player IP and maybe some stuff from last year like Crimson Desert and Plan 8.

holding out hope EA gives a look at Skate 4 and hopefully a new single player Star Wars game. i’m somewhat interested in Starfield even though i know Bethesda games aren’t really my thing, but maybe this’ll do it for me.
