The biggest gaming show on Earth is flying by all too quickly, and now most of the E3 2018 conferences are behind us. Microsoft blew us away with 50 games including Halo Infinite, Gears of War 5, and Forza Horizon 4.
But Bethesda's E3 showing didn't slow things down: Starfield and Doom Eternal, and The Elder Scrolls 6 led the new game announcements, and we got to see lots more of the "entirely online" Fallout 76. Ubisoft gave us a massive Assassin's Creed Odyssey reveal and heaps of The Division 2 news and Square Enix showed off Shadow of the Tomb Raider and revealed the enigmatic The Quiet Man. Rounding things off was the PC Gaming Show where we got to see more from Just Cause 4 and Hitman 2, as well as Insomniac's new VR title, Stormland.

Battlefield Vhas dominated the multiplayer FPS conversation since its recent reveal, but we're also looking forward to donning our Javelins as we fly and fall our way through the massive world ofAnthem, BioWare's intriguing new IP.
Ok, so, EA didn't announce Dragon Age 4, but we're still holding out hope. Come on EA, do the right thing and give us another slice of intoxicating RPG adventuring.
E3 2018 Bethesda
Microsoft might have blown us away with all the games, but Bethesda weren't about to let up. There were new games galore, so make sure you don't miss a thing with our roundup of everything that happened at Bethesda's E3 2018 conference.
Kicking things off were games we knew about already, starting with a The Elder Scrolls Online.
Doom Eternal got the new games announcements started, but only have a teaser to go on for now. Then Bethesda kept up the momentum with Wolfenstein: Youngblood, a co-op Nazi basher starring BJ's twin daughters.
But the meat of the stream was the game we were all waiting for: release date for later this year.
But The Elder Scrolls VI. Well, we did say Bethesda didn't let up.
E3 2018 Microsoft
The Microsoft E3 2018 press conference was games, games, and more games. 50 titles featured in total, with a good number of exclusives and world premiers to boot. For a full summary – here's every reveal from the Microsoft E3 2018 press conference.
If you can't be bothered with that rundown then here are the highlights. First of, there's a new Halo game called Cyberpunk 2077 E3 2018 trailer.
Alas, there was no Fable 4 reveal, but Microsoft made up for it with a Forza Horizon 4, which is set in the UK.
In of funny moments there was some shock and confusion over Gears Pop, which is a mobile game crossover between the gritty shooter and Funko Pop! figures, as well as an unexpected Battletoads reveal.
E3 2018 Square Enix
This relatively short showing turned out to be quite disappointing. We saw more of Lara, but there were some notable absences. Regardless, here iseverything that happened at the Square Enix E3 2018 conference.
Square kicked off their show with a newBabylon's Fall. Besides that it has a fantasy setting and it is being made by Platinum Games, there's not much else we know about this one.
No word on the newJust Cause 4 gameplay trailer.
E3 2018 Ubisoft
Ubisoft's E3 2018 press conference was a little disappointing considering how many sequels and new games the could have announced. Still, they had a lot of new Assassin's Creed Odyssey footage and features to show off. For example, you will be able to pick yourSkull & Bones ship customization.
