It may only be early February, but many of gaming's biggest players are already eyeing E3 2018. The annual Los Angeles event will, as always, take place this summer, and Geoff Keighley's just jumped on Twitter to let everyone know that his E3 Coliseum is returning.
Essentially a set of livestreams stretched over multiple days, E3 Coliseum was a hit last year with Geoff and various other hosts interviewing developers and industry figures while also nabbing exclusive access to gameplay demos. This year, E3 Coliseum will be streamed on the 12th, 13th, and 14th June.
Are you already looking forward to E3 2018? Did you watch E3 Coliseum last summer? Feel free to start making predictions in the comments section below.

Oh not E3 already lol.
I always look forwarded to E3. Its the first big game event of the year and its 'usually' the place we get to hear what games we have to look forward to for the next year. Its also a time when devs release new game-play and/or details that can change my opinion on their titles - not necessarily in a bad way either. They can climb higher on my wanted list, make my pre-order list or even drop to my wait and see list or even my not interested list.
I actually do keep physical lists of all the games I want and do add or cross titles off - even record which games I have pre-ordered or bought. It also means I don't forget about games and can look through and see which games I wanted but didn't buy if I have a bit of money spare.
It will be interesting to see what Sony have this year - especially as the last couple of years have featured a similar line-up. It seems that only GoW will be released before June so its difficult to see if we will get too much 'new' as we know pretty much what all their Devs are working on - Maybe a sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn from Guerilla Games - but most studios seem to be busy bringing games we know about, finishing those off....
Wasn't even thinking about e3. I gotta get through my 2018 backlog first.
@get2sammyb's favourite time of the year!
The moment one E3 ends, I’m impatiently waiting for the next one.
@BAMozzy I think we’ll get more on previously announced games
Time to get the coal for the hype train ready.
@Derpie1 I do too. I can't think of many studios that will have something new to offer. Last year, we only had Sucker-Punch as an unknown and E3 announced a remake (SotC) and left Ghost of Tsushima until later on in the year. The only Studio I can think of with the possibility of something new would be GG but it maybe too soon for them. That's not to say that Sony won't have any 'new' AAA exclusives - most likely though from 3rd parties like From Software.
Sony could also show some new footage of games that haven't been at E3 for a long time - Wild, Shenmue 3, FF7 remake... They could feel 'new' because its been quite some time since these were announced. At the moment it seems only GoW will release before E3 2018 so its looking like Spider-Man, Detroit, Days Gone OR Last of Us 2 will be on show again with maybe Dreams as well. Almost certainly Ghost of Tsushima will be there and getting a game-play segment. Its too early for Polyphony (maybe there with some big add-on to GTSport) with the rest of the Show made up with CoD, Destiny 2 expansion, RDR2, Ace Combat and whatever other multi-platform game partnerships they have. Maybe Sony will have a bigger showing of 'Indie' games this year alongside the new VR games too but as for the 'big AAA' blockbusters, I am struggling to think of what developers could show something new - at least those that would be shown at E3 to a western audience...
@BAMozzy Ik there’s some exclusives they can talk but some scream niche
Indies is kinda questionable but I think it’s cus people at least on PlayStation at this point prob most likely care for the AAAs > the Indies & Sony sees that...
I think it’ll be VR, what’s already announced,l & maybe a 3rd Party Exclusive unless Sony is gonna acquire a company
