EA's press conference will be on Saturday, June 9 at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET, setting it an hour earlier than last year's conference. The announcement said that the EA Play press conference will have "big gameplay reveals, surprise announcements, and more." EA already confirmed it plans to show more of Anthem as well as the next Battlefield and EA Sports games.
According to a leak from Tom Warren, senior editor of The Verge, Microsoft's conference will remain on Sunday, moved up by an hour over last year's time slot. If true, this would place Microsoft's 2018 E3 press conference on Sunday, June 10th at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET. The leak also stated that they will be using the Microsoft theatre for briefings and hands-on demos.
Bethesda was the first company to announce their 2018 E3 conference. The Bethesda E3 showcase will be on Sunday, June 10 at 6:30 PM PT / 9:30 PM ET. Pete Hines, Senior Vice President of global marketing for Bethesda said "We have a lot to show you this year. Might be our longest E3 Showcase ever? Not sure, but it's packed."
Following Nintendo's E3 announcement style, Square Enix is putting on its own E3 Showcase at this year's E3. Square Enix had its last major press conference at E3 back in 2015. This year's showcase will be on Monday, June 11 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. Square Enix is offering the stream in both English and Japanese.
Ubisoft, the publisher of Ghost Recon, Assassin's Creed, and Division games will hold its E3 press conference on Monday, June 11 at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 9 PM BST / 6 AM AEST (June 12). Ubisoft's press conference last year took place at the same time.
Sony’s press conference will be Monday, June 11 at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET. Four of Sony’s own titles will have a large presence in their show; Last of Us 2, Spider-man, Death Stranding, and Ghost of Tsushima. There will also be some third party publishers and independent developers present.
