E3 2018: Every major announcement and release date

E3 2018 is in the books, and by some metrics it was the biggest show in a dozen years. There was a lot to see at the Los Angeles Convention Center, and no shortage of things to distract you from getting to all of it.

To help remedy that situation, we've compiled a list of major games showcase, announced, or dated at the E3 conferences this year. You'll find the games organised by their publisher or, in the case of indie games, the host of the conference in which they were featured.

Activision

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
2019 / PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC
