![]() ![]() It’s already announced that its event will feature updates on Far Cry 6, the soon-to-be-renamed Rainbow Six Quarantine, Riders Republic, and upcoming Assassin’s Creed Valhalla expansions. Ubisoft generally makes a big splash at E3, and things seems to be no different for the 2021 schedule. Perhaps new studio acquisitions, or even the formation of some new indie label similar to how Take-Two created Private Division as its own indie publishing arm? That leaves us wondering exactly what it is that Koch will be showing off during its own showcase on June 11. However, Deep Silver got its message out ahead of the event by confirming that none of its games or studios would be shown at Koch Primetime or any other E3 2021 event. A subsidiary of Embracer Group alongside the likes of Gearbox and THQ Nordic, Koch is best known for its own Deep Silver division, which includes the developers of games like Saints Row, Dead Island, Metro, and TimeSplitters. Koch Media has slowly become one of the most fascinating companies in video games today. And given the caliber of reveals we’ve seen at The Game Awards in the past, our expectations are high for this one. Rumors are swirling that we might get a new look at FromSoftware’s Elden Ring, an update on some PlayStation projects, and even an appearance by Keighley’s pal Hideo Kojima. Given that the Summer Game Fest Kickoff isn’t beholden to any one publisher, expect a wide array of announcements ranging from radical indies to massive AAA spectacles. Organized by The Game Awards’ Geoff Keighley, the show promises plenty of world premieres, a Day of the Devs indie showcase, and performances by artists like Weezer and Japanese Breakfast, who is composing music for the upcoming indie game Sable. The E3-related festivities begin two days prior to the actual show itself, with the Summer Game Fest Kickoff. E3 2021 Schedule and The Escapist Preshows ![]() ![]() A handful of Escapist writers, editors, and hosts will be going live on YouTube and Twitch 30 minutes prior to the start of each event with recaps and predictions, followed by a watch-along of the events themselves with the audience, and then capping it off with a post-show where we’ll break down all of the big announcements, trailers, and gameplay reveals. Throughout the week, we here at The Escapist are going to be holding livestreams surrounding each of the biggest showcases, from the first joint conference of Microsoft and Bethesda, to Nintendo’s highly anticipated E3 Direct. With all that said, you still probably have a lot of questions regarding how the digital event is going to play out. Thankfully, E3 2021 has been condensed into a five-day window, which includes some major first-party showcases, dedicated indie events, and various streams from publishers like Capcom, 2K Games, and Square Enix. E3 2020 was canceled due to the pandemic, and instead we had a series of events that stretched across the entirety of last summer. The spotlight is almost certainly going to be shining brightly on some of the biggest upcoming games like Halo Infinite, Starfield, Far Cry 6, and Nintendo’s follow-up to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and that just scratches the surface of what we’ll be seeing from June 10-15 amid the E3 2021 schedule.īut with that excitement comes its own confusion. E3 2021 is upon us, and that’s immensely exciting. ![]()
