The Agonizing Wait
While this year will continue to deliver an amazing roster games, there's a lot of exciting games that won't arrive until at least 2018. To help you keep track of what's coming out next year, we've compiled all the biggest games expected to launch after 2018. Click ahead to see all the games confirmed for this year, and be sure to check back often as we update this feature with more games throughout the show.
For the first time ever, E3 was open to the public, but the show was otherwise largely the same. One notable difference was that things began earlier than usual--EA held its EA Play press conference on Saturday, while Microsoft's Xbox press conference was a day earlier than usual.
