Square Enix is holding an E3 press briefing for the first time since 2015 this year, although it’s not a traditional onstage live event. Instead, Square Enix will livestream a prerecorded video presentation starting at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on Monday, June 11. Expect the video to touch on games like Kingdom Hearts 3, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Just Cause 4 and Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age. Keep up with all the news, trailers and more in the StoryStream below.

The Elder Scrolls: Blades is a new, free-to-play mobile game, announced at Bethesda’s E3 presentation. Players will be able to use melee, range abilities and spells, and there will be full character creation and leveling, just like in any other Elder Scrolls games. Combat is stripped down, seemingly focused on single enemy combat, which makes sense for a mobile game. Doing so will unlock new NPCs and quests, and players will be able to visit their friends town, like Animal Crossing in Elder Scro

A new collaboration trailer was revealed for Final Fantasy 14 at the Square Enix conference at E3. FF14 will be crossing over with Monster Hunter World, so players who love both games can explore Eorzea with a Palico! Final Fantasy 14 originally released in 2013 and is available to play cross-platform on Windows PC, Mac OS X and PlayStation 4. Since the release, Square Enix has released two expansions: Heavensward in 2015 and Stormblood in 2017. Monster Hunter World released in January 2018 for

Square Enix has announced a game called The Quiet Man during its E3 2018 press conference that’s coming in August, although details about the game are light. The reveal actually began as a live-action trailer that then shifted into a short moment of in-engine combat. The game’s YouTube trailer description reads:The Quiet Man delivers an immersive story driven cinematic action experience seamlessly blending high-production live action, realistic CG and pulse-pounding action gameplay. There was, i

During Bethesda’s conference on Sunday, Todd Howard hit us with the (perhaps unwelcome) truth that Fallout 76 will be multiplayer and always online, but he also made sure to couch in plenty of discussion about how you can still play solo. Howard did mention that the game will be in the survival genre, but softened that with the phrase “softcore survival,” meaning you won’t lose all of your progress. Regardless of how weird the phrase “softcore survival” makes me feel, it seems that Bethesda is t

Every year, it feels like there are hundreds of trailers released at E3. Fear not — we’ve compiled the best E3 trailers for you to catch up on. The game will be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC on Feb. 22, 2019. The game launches in Nov. 14, 2018 for Xbox One, Windows PC and PlayStation 4. This game will be releasing on Windows PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on Dec. 4

Fortnite patch v4.4 is here and it seems like Epic are keeping the changes pretty light before Tuesday’s Fortnite Pro Am tournament. Patch v4.4 is bringing a new gun to Battle Royale, as well as taking away the jetpack and fixing a few bugs. The Battle Royale patch also sees the return of the 50v50 game mode and the Sniper Shootout, which have both been been updated to version three. In addition, both Save the World and Battle Royale will now allow players to place certain traps on ramps. For a

Square Enix is holding a showcase at E3 2018 to deliver the latest news on its upcoming lineup. The publisher’s press conference will consist of a “special video presentation” that will likely touch on games like Kingdom Hearts 3, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Just Cause 4 and Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age. If we’re lucky, maybe we’ll even get an update on that Final Fantasy 7 Remake that was announced back at E3 2015, some details on the Avengers Project teased last year, or hear more

For $150, you can build your own Pip-Boy with the Fallout 76 Pip-Boy Construction Kit, coming later this year from ThinkGeek and Bethesda Softworks. Fans will be able to customize their own Pip-Boy 2000 Mark 6, the one seen on the protagonist’s wrist at the end of the Fallout 76 trailer shown last month. The Pip-Boy 2000 Mark 6 is an earlier model than the Pip Boy 3000 Mark 4, which was a premium offered with the Fallout 4 special edition when that launched in 2015. There are more Fallout 76 goo

Sonic and company take on a variety of vibrant race tracks in Sega’s E3 2018 trailer for the upcoming Team Sonic Racing. The trailer offers a more in-depth peek at gameplay, characters and raceways included in the game. The game, developed by Sumo Digital, promises other nostalgic characters and environments from across the Sonic universe in conjunction with fast-paced competitive racing. Finally, as previously revealed with the release of the first teaser for Team Sonic Racing, the game will fe

Boss Games’ shooter LawBreakers is now free-to-play on Steam (as spotted by Wario64). Last month, Boss Games’ head Cliff Bleszinski shut down the studio, following the commercial failure of the game. In LawBreakers, players take on the roles of specialized fighters who inhabit low gravity arenas. The game was first announced as a free-to-play, but publisher Nexon then decided to opt for a $30 price. There are some core free-to-play games that do well, but for us, we didn’t want to go down the we

Prior to Ubisoft’s E3 conference, the publisher will broadcast a pre-show event, starting at 12:15 p.m. PT/3:15 p.m. After the press conference, Ubisoft also has a post-show presentation, which promises a “deep dive” into one of the games shown during its press conference. For information on other E3 streams, check out the full E3 2018 press conference live stream schedule. HOW AND WHERE TO WATCH THE UBISOFT PRESS CONFERENCE AT E3 2018Ubisoft will hold its E3 2018 press conference on Monday, Jun

This is going to be an interesting year for Sony with the PlayStation 4 nearing the end of its lifecycle, but another console being at least three years away. It’s possible that we’ll get price drops on the existing hardware, but there likely won’t be other announcements in that area. Sony bombarded the press and fans with trailer after trailer last year, and that may be an effective strategy again this year with Microsoft struggling so hard with exclusive games. There’s sure to be a lot to talk

Life is Strange spinoff The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit will be “your first steps into this world” of Life is Strange 2, Dontnod Entertainment said during publisher Square Enix’s E3 2018 livestream — and it will even leave an impact on the upcoming sequel. “It’s hiding many secrets and even some links to the brand new story and characters of Life is Strange 2,” said Raoul Barbet, one of the directors of Captain Spirit as well as the upcoming Life is Strange 2. Captain Spirit will not on

Lara Croft’s journey looks as harrowing as ever in the extended gameplay preview of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, shown during Square Enix’s pre-taped presentation Monday morning at E3. Lara skulked her way around an enemy camp in a lush jungle, utilizing weapons and techniques we’d seen from previous titles, including sniping enemies from the distance, sneak attacks and molotov cocktails. Shadow of the Tomb Raider game director David Bisson, of studio Edios Montreal, described this gameplay as Lar

Just Cause 4 gameplay was shown during Square Enix’s E3 2018 press event. The footage provides a better look at the weather system teased during the trailer at yesterday’s Microsoft press conference. Just Cause 4 is the latest entry in Avalanche Studios’ open world franchise, which focuses on massive destruction and player creativity. Just Cause 4 adds extreme weather, including blizzards, tornadoes, lightning and sand storms. Just Cause 4 is set for release on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on

Square Enix presented a new, detailed look yet at Kingdom Hearts 3 during this year’s E3 conference — albeit not its own presentation. The biggest addition of note was a single new character: The trailer featured Remy, who starred in his own Pixar film, Ratatouille. We are very much here for more cute, talented animals in our Kingdom Hearts games. These locatations will each be new to the Kingdom Hearts series. This is the second time we’re seeing Kingdom Hearts 3 get serious attention during E3

Babylon’s Fall is the next project from Japanese studio PlatinumGames, the company announced today with a trailer during Square Enix’s E3 2018 special video presentation. It’s unclear what kind of experience Babylon’s Fall is, although Platinum is known for action games. The game is in development on PlayStation 4 and Windows PC, and is scheduled to be released in 2019. Babylon’s Fall represents the continuation of a relationship between Platinum and Square Enix. As an independent studio, Platin

Octopath Traveler, the latest role-playing game from Square Enix, was given a 30-second tease during Square Enix’s E3 2018 livestream this afternoon. The game is coming to Nintendo Switch on July 13. The story of Octopath Traveler follows eight characters who occupy traditional role-playing game types — warrior, apothecary, cleric and thief, for example. Square Enix has billed Octopath Traveler as a “2D-HD” game. Responding to fan feedback from that demo — nearly 50,000 participated — Square Eni

At yesterday’s Xbox E3 2018 event, Playground Games revealed that Forza Horizon 4 will be set in Great Britain. We’ve had lots of places we’ve always been thinking about. I think there’s a couple other open world games in Korea or some place that have done that, but it’s unusual. But this is our most vertical world ever. There’s lots of games where you go to this part of the map and it’s always summer, right?
