With the list of announced companies, we can start to speculate on the games we’ll be learning more about at E3. The most obvious will be Nintendo showing off more of the new Mario game coming later this year, as well as more Switch games. Microsoft and Sony will have their big presentations, as usual, where we can expect to learn about new first-party games like God of War from Sony and information on the Xbox Scorpio from Microsoft.
There’s also a decent amount of hardware companies listed above, like Turtle Beach, Alienware and Logitech G. This means there could be some announcements of new gaming hardware and accessories coming during the show as well.
E3 will take place from June 13-15 in Los Angeles. This year will also allow for anyone to go, so long as they can get an expo pass. Passes are available now if you want to attend.
So what do you think? Are there any companies you’re excited to see listed for E3 2017? Will you try to get a pass and come this year? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
