E3 2019: full games list, schedule and press conference

We're working on a full E3 2019 games list now that our expo schedule has crossed off all of the press conferences from the likes of Nintendo, Microsoft and Bethesda.

What games are at E3 2019? There are hundreds, even though Sony PlayStation isn't at the Los Angeles Convention Center this year, likely in prep for next year's PS5.

The biggest E3 game highlights include Cyberpunk 2077 starring Keanu Reeves, new hardware care of the Xbox Project Scarlett specs, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Halo Infinite and a new Avengers game to name a few.

We've compiled an E3 2019 trailers list, and also came up with list for the best Xbox One games at E3 2019, best PS4 games at E3 2019, and best Nintendo Switch games at E3 2019. There's something for everyone at this year's expo.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2

Nintendo is at E3 2019, although it doesn't hold press conferences anymore. Instead, is hosts a Nintendo Direct live stream. It's jam-packed with games.

The big Nintendo E3 news is the fact that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 is coming to Nintendo Switch and it's a direct sequel to the console's launch game. No release date was announced, but we did get an 82-second trailer featuring Link and Zelda traversing a dark dungeon. 

We also got to see more of Luigi's Mansion 3, which was announced at E3 last year, and this year's update on the game's progress shows off  a green gooey Luigi doppelganger. He can squeeze through steel gates and cross over normally deadly spikes. It's coming out in 2019, though Nintendo didn't give us a specific date at E3.

We also got a first look at another Zelda game: The Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening, which does have a firm release date: September 20, 2019. It's around the corner. One Nintendo game not coming as quickly as fans had hoped is the next Animal Crossing game. Animal Crossing: New Horizons was delayed to March 20, 2020.

The Nintendo Direct at E3 actually began with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC. It's getting a Dragon Quest 11 cross-over and, later in the E3 video, we got news of a Banjo Kazooie crossover.

WHEN IS E3 2019?

E3 stands for the Electronic Entertainment Expo, and while that hasn't changed from year to year, the press conference schedule has gotten shuffled. So we'll explain it quickly.

The official E3 2019 dates are Tuesday, June 11 to Thursday, June 13. However, that's just for the portion of the show held inside the Los Angeles Convention Center. You know, the massive show floor where game demos happen.

E3 press conferences happen in the proceeding days, and this year it started with EA Play on Saturday, June 8 at the Hollywood Palladium. EA's full day event offered deep dive trailers into EA's biggest titles.

Sunday belonged to Microsoft and Bethesda, while Monday is being reserved for the PC Gaming Show, Square Enix and Ubisoft E3 press conferences. Nintendo has its video presentation Tuesday, right before the E3 show floor opens.

EA E3 press conference time
It's over, but we have the EA Play re-cap. It started on Saturday, June 8 at 9:15am PT for fans with tickets at the Hollywood Palladium.

What happened?
EA didn't come with surprises, but dedicated about 30 minutes to each previously announced game, providing ample time for game walkthroughs, not just simple trailers and sizzle reels. We actually got to learn about new modes and gameplay mechanics. It was meaningful.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order: gameplay, release date, trailers and news
Apex Legends Season 2: Battle Cry
Battlefield 5 Chapter 4: Defying the Odds – here's everything new coming
FIFA 20: release date, news, Volta modes and everything else there is to know
Madden NFL 20 release date, trailers and gameplay changes
The Sims 4: Island Living expansion
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was the highlight from Respawn Entertainment looking a bit like Uncharted with a lightsaber and The Force powers (that's not a bad thing). There was no Titanfall 3, from the developer, but we did see Apex Legends Season 2: Battle Cry get a start date of July 2.

EA Sports gave us deep looks into both FIFA 20 and Madden 20, while Battlefield 5 Chapter 4 and The Sims 4: Island Living expanded their respective (and very different) universes.

What wasn't at EA's E3 2019?
We didn't get many surprises – BioWare's Dragon Age 4 has been an E3 no-show, even though it did get a teaser trailer at last year’s The Game Awards. Likewise, we didn't see anything from PopCap (famous for Plants vs Zombies) and Ghost Games, the new stakeholders of the Need for Speed franchise. And, like we mentioned, Titanfall 3 was a no show, which is no surprise – Respawn is working on two other big games already being shown at E3.
