What happens before? Even before the start of E3 2021, a lot is happening. The new Battlefield for 2021 will be revealed. Additionally, as a contrast to E3, the so-called Summer Game Fest is taking place. Big names like Blizzard, Epic Games, Gearbox, and Capcom are involved in this fest.
Officially, the Summer Game Fest is not part of E3, but it takes place during E3, and generally, users consider all gaming events that occur during E3 as part of E3, whether it is officially so or not.
- The global reveal of the new Battlefield takes place on June 9 at 16:00 – However, there was already a big Battlefield leak in the Origin store with names, release dates, and images

This is what you wrote about it: In the comments, you told us why you are looking forward to the specific dates.
- Zord: “Starfield is currently the only game I am excited about and feel a little hype for (especially after playing a lot of Skyrim and Fallout in recent months), otherwise I expect very little from E3 so far.”
- Schwammlgott: “Of course, I will watch the MS&Bethesda conference live as well. But I am also a bit curious about Ubisoft, still hoping for a Splinter Cell or Prince of Persia. I find this Sands of Time remaster less interesting, as it’s the worst part of the trilogy. They should rather release the complete trilogy new. I’m not a big fan of remasters, but this trilogy would be a Day 1 purchase for me.”
- Namma: “Nintendo, Microsoft, and Ubisoft. Actually Square Enix, but there are no games there that interest me and there was already a presentation for Dragon Quest?”
- Nakazukii: “I am most looking forward to the Battlefield reveal.”
- Bienenvogel: “Bethesda will certainly be interesting, just to finally clarify how exclusivity looks. And of course, if they show Starfield (it would be strange if nothing comes) and how it looks. Otherwise, I am not intrigued much beforehand, except maybe Far Cry 6. So I hope for some surprises. But I probably won’t watch anything live, the trailers the next day will be enough for me.”
