Koch Primetime Gaming
Koch Media have been growing over the years and while they are apart of the Embracer Group, this is going to an event all their own. Given Koch Media own studios like Milestone, Volition and the recently formed Free Radical Design, there is no telling what they will show.

Ubisoft Forward
Back for another go, Ubisoft Forward is just like other company specific showcases, dedicated to all things for them. Ubisoft is in a different place to most others though, as they have movies and tv shows as well, what might be in there, well Far Cry 6 for sure and perhaps Prince of Persia Sands of Time Remake, outside of that, no idea.

Gearbox E3 Showcase
Gearbox have a 30 minute showcase for this years E3, what are they showing, who knows. Could it be that mysterious game that will be revealed during the Summer Games Fest Kick-Off show, possibly, more Borderlands 3, potentially, a Battleborn sequel… very unlikely.

Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase
This feels a little normal as both companies have had their own showcases on the Sunday before E3 for a few years now, but this time, they are one mega showcase. We know it will be 90 minutes in length, will like feature Halo Infinite, but outside of that, all guesses are welcome. Starfield and Indiana Jones are likely, as is Everwild and whatever is next for Forza. Plus it is Xbox, so with their massive range of studios, there should be a lot to see.

Kidding of course, they do have a big range and while we know that we will see more of the upcoming Black Panther expansion for Marvel’s Avengers, we know that Life is Strange: True Colors (though not true spelling) and Babylon’s Fall will also show, along with the debut of the next title from Eidos Montreal

Back 4 Blood Showcase
Back 4 Blood was set to be released already, but the studio said they needed more time and given how many systems are in play here, I am sure they needed it. A spiritual successor to the Left 4 Dead series, created by the same studio, the game will constantly adjust itself based on how you play and a deep dive will be very welcome.

PC Gaming Show
The PC Gaming Show has been running for a few years now, they even managed to put on one last year as well, but while the show is about PC games, they also are not afraid to talk hardware. We know there will be more on Dying Light 2 at the show, but cryptically a message from Valve about Steam

Future Games Show
The Future Games Show is an odd beast, it has done a few shows now, but as it incorporates everything, there is no predicting what is going to be shown. This time around the hosts will be Laura Bailey and Troy Baker, two extremely talented actors.

Take-Two Interactive panel
Take-Two is not a name you hear much on, they are more well known as their other name 2K, but they also own Private Division, which published the great Outer World and it might surprise you, but they own Rockstar, yes the folks behind Grand Theft Auto. What is happening at this panel, no-one knows, could it be from those rumoured leaks, or something all new and shocking, only time will tell.

Capcom showcase
Capcom have announced a showcase for E3, with looks at upcoming titles like Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin and The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, but they have also called out Monster Hunter Rise and Resident Evil Village as showing up. Will that be all, hopefully not as Capcom have a vast catalogue of content to show off, but it could be something completely new as well.

Limited run games showcase
Limited Run Games are either a company you love, or you don’t, given that they often release some amazing collector’s editions of classic games, or previously only digital. But the catch is that you will wait months and months, once your order is placed, though that is not what this is about. This is their 3rd showcase and they have promised over 25 titles to be shown off.
