2020 saw E3 disappear completely, breaking our impressive five-year streak of hosting an annual E3 community quiz here on Push Square. But in case you haven't heard, E3 is back for 2021 — and so is our quiz!
We've got 20 yes or no questions lined up below, and we kindly ask you to help us predict E3 2021. Just for the record, E3 officially begins on Saturday, the 12th June, and ends on Tuesday, the 15th June. All of these questions refer to that period of three days.
(For a full E3 2021 timetable, be sure to check out our guide on the matter: E3 2021 Timetable.)
Back in 2019, when we last enjoyed an E3 quiz, you lot predicted 13/20 questions correctly. Not a bad score, but we're sure that you can do better this time around.
So, without further ado, crack on with our E3 2021 quiz, and feel free to discuss your predictions in the comments section below.
Good luck!
Question 1: Sony is avoiding E3 again this year, but we're still going to see plenty of games that are coming to PlayStation platforms. The Xbox showcase may or may not host a number of third party titles.
Question 2: Beyond Good and Evil 2 has been missing in action for ages now, and its future is fairly uncertain — at least from the outside looking in.
Question 3: Final Fantasy XVI was announced during Sony's big PS5 event last year. It's tough to say whether more footage will be saved for PlayStation's next show, or whether it'll go big at E3 — or both!
Question 4: According to insider reports last year, Final Fantasy XVI is closer to release than we think, having been in development for around four years or so.
Question 5: Capcom has outlined its E3 showcase, promising updates on games that have already been announced. But will there be more to the Japanese publisher's event than meets the eye?
Question 6: Cyberpunk 2077 has been in desperate need of positive press since its launch last year. If CD Projekt Red has anything to announce — updates, DLC, a release date for the PS5 version — E3 would make a good stage.
Question 7: We already know that Assassin's Creed Valhalla will be part of Ubisoft Forward, but a lot of rumours surrounding the future of the series have been swirling.
Question 8: Heavy rumours of a brand new Final Fantasy title have been in circulation for a few weeks now, but do you have faith in them?
Question 9: With no Sony at E3 2021, some fans are expecting the Japanese giant to announce its own upcoming press conference.
Question 10: Remember Rabbids? Those dumb Ubisoft mascots? It's been a while since we saw one in the wild...
Question 11: We've seen very, very little of action RPG Babylon's Fall up until this point, but it's going to return during Square Enix's E3 event.
Question 12: Heavily rumoured to be in development, a sequel to Dragon's Dogma would be a huge announcement for Capcom, and fans of the original game.
Question 13: Sorry, we know it might be painful, but it's tradition that we ask about the potential future of Sam Fisher.
Question 14: What's Lara Croft up to these days? We know that a new Tomb Raider game is in development, but perhaps it's too early to actually show it off.
Question 15: You can get a pet crocodile (or is it an alligator?) in Far Cry 6. That's all you need to know.
Question 16: Spider-Man is still meant to be coming to Marvel's Avengers at some point, and the game's going to get an update at Square Enix's E3 event.
Question 17: Recently rated for a PlayStation release in South Korea, indie darling Hades will make the jump eventually. But is E3 the right time to finally announce it?
Question 18: It's unclear how involved Bandai Namco's E3 showcase will actually be, but maybe the publisher will surprise us.
Question 19: Gearbox just loves cringe-inducing lingo, and something tells us that it won't hold back during its dedicated E3 event.
Question 20: Again, Sony isn't a part of E3 this year, but that doesn't mean it has to stay silent.

I certainly hope a Rabbid appears during Ubisoft's show. Mario + Rabbids 2 is literally all I want from them right now, and a sequel is rumored to be showing up.
Dragon dogma 2 is what i want to be announced.word up son
Did I pass the test??????????
@Ralizah "a sequel is rumored to be showing up."
I answered the Rabbids question based on that rumour. I still havent' finished the first game - got blown off some ice level, never went back - but I could see it getting a sequel.
For all of the questions that say "while E3 is happening" is that a specific time during 1 particular event or are we talking over the course of 3 or 4 days or the entire week?
There are so many shows these days I've lost track of what is or isn't E3. I'm not even sure if the Nintendo Direct counts as E3 since nobody is actually anywhere, it's all just Zoom. And even if Treehouse Live is all in 1 room I doubt think that room will be in Vegas. So what constitutes E3? A logo on the bottom right corner? Does it have to be a "live" stream to be E3 b/c the ND probably won't be? 🤷♂️
R&C is out today right? If Sony wanted to do something now is the day. Is today E3? I honestly don't even know.
What would Sony show? God of War, more HFW, GT7? I think they do need to announce some new games soon but maybe they'll wait for their own big thing in July, August or September for some holiday games, not try to jump into the this mess.
I did every level multiple times in that Rabbids game. Maybe the most fun I had on my Switch. A sequel is one of my big wishes for sure.
Aside from that I have answered a lot of "no". Low expectations this year. I'm pretty much expecting Sony to do more PR stuff later down the line. They have Ratchet right now, they need to drum up more excitement for the PS5 after everyone has finished that game.
Also think as PS gamers we already got our two biggest announcements: Death Stranding and Deviation games making an exclusive.
Let Microsoft and Nintendo have their time.
Then Sony can do their own thing with amazing games shown at a later date.
Microsoft won’t come close to matching R&C or HZDFW.
Nintendo if they go big BOTW 2, Bayo 3 etc releasing this year, they could have a good show.
Love the question about Gearbox!
Years ago I learned not to trust Randy Pitchford because during a demo of Aliens: Colonial Marines he blasted an enemy and said aloud the phrase "GTFO."
Turns out my judgement was totally right.
@KippDynamite yeah the gearbox question was badass 🤭
@Kidfried love the avatar
Can't lose if you answer No to everything 😎
And unfortunately, we already know Tomb Raider won't be shown in any capacity.
Sony PlayStation press event at some point this summer...please announce a Syphon Filter reboot along with Sly Cooper!
Sony doesn't have to do anything during the period that not-E3 is "happening."
Though since I doubt much will be live, the fact that various pre-recorded shows will be released near the same time and called E3 does not, in fact, make it E3. I expect Sony to wait until E3 is over and the hype train goes "That's it? Where was Sony? Where was this? Where was that?" to drop any surprises they may have up their sleeves.
These were all good questions and some gave me a good laugh. Well done team!
Heads up UK PS5 ratchet and clank bundles are up at symths toys UK. £509.99 so you save £10 overall.
You cannot buy one yet but they are there.
Good luck.
@The_New_Butler I just saw!
I wish it was this year, but I'm just happy it exists at all.
Currently, this is the 2022 release I'm most excited for now.
When are we getting the results? Or did I miss them?
I think most of these were No except for the rabids
