The PC Gaming Show is different from other Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) events. It doesn’t focus on a single publisher or game company. Instead, it celebrates PC gaming. But it still had plenty of announcements and trailers. Below, we list everything we saw at this year’s PC Gaming Show. This is from Coffee Stain Studios. Satisfactory is a multiplayer first-person game with an emphasis on building. And it has a lot of conveyor belts! Like, so many conveyor belts, guys. It has trains, too! The trailer also showed players riding around in dune buggies. A closed alpha is starting within the next few months. Neo Cab The first indie game of the show focuses on a cab driver (or Uber or whatever they’re using in the future) in a cyberpunk world. It is coming out for PC and mobile and devices. And here’s our first battle royale game of the show. But while most support 100, players, this one has can have upward of 1,000. So, it must be like 100 times better than Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, right? The Forgotten City This started off as a mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Now, The Forgotten City is a standalone first-person narrative-focused game. It is coming out in 2019. Star Control is a classic PC gaming franchise that hasn’t seen a new game in a long time. This new game from Stardock focuses on exploring space. You can discover thousands of planets and interact with strange alien creatures. It is coming out on September 20. Hunt: Showdown This one is from Crytek. Hunt: Showdown is a first-person competitive game with monsters. Archangel: Hellfire Hellfire is a VR player-vs.-player game with mechs. It is coming out on July 17. It is on early access right now. The Sinking City This game focuses on a Lovecraftian mystery. It takes place in an open world and focuses on investigation. And it’s not Lovecraftian without a sanity mechanic! Warframe: The Sacrifice Warframe has been out for a few years. The multiplayer cooperative shooter has become a hit thanks to its continued content drops. The Sacrifice is the latest chapter in the game’s cinematic quest. It is coming out this week for PC. Sega A montage showed off Sega games Shenmue, Shenmue 2, Shining Resonance Refrain, Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza Zero, and Valkyria Chronicles 4 on PC. The Summer Sideshow and Treacherous Skies are new experiences for Killing Floor 2 that are coming out tomorrow. This is from developer Blindside Games and publisher Tripwire. The trailer showed off summer beaches and marshes on the gulf coast getting ravaged by a shark. You get to play as the shark. The shark even has a skill tree! Bravery Network Online The first of three new game announcements from Untitled Publisher. It’s a kind of turn-based RPG with hand-drawn characters. Morningstar This is a first-person game that showed off a farm before turning into an abandoned computer office. Overwhelm This is a 2D action platformer with simple, pixelated graphics and a lot of shooting. It is out now. Jurassic World: Evolution Evolution is a park simulator based on the hit film series. You can read our review here. Stormland Stormland is an open-world game that you play in virtual reality. It’s from Insomniac Games. You play as a robot in a lush alien world. Night Call is set in Paris and has a noir vibe. Sable is an open-world game with a cel-shading art. It focuses on exploration and solitude. Star Citizen is a game all about space and ships that fly through it. It’s been in development since 2011. Genesis: Alpha One Genesis: Alpha One has you building a space station and explore the galaxy for resources. You also have to fight aliens. Bad aliens! It is coming out on September 4. Don’t Starve: Hamlet Don’t Starve is an indie game about, you know, not starving. Hamlet takes place in a new town run by pigs. Just Cause 4 is the next installment in the open-world game that focuses on explosions and grappling hooks. Overkill’s The Walking Dead This cooperative multiplayer shooter is based on the hit TV show. Telltale’s The Walking Dead: The Final Season More Walking Dead! This is the last season in Telltale’s episodic adventure game franchise. Noita This is a rogue-like with magic and a procedurally-generated world. It also features beautiful sprite-based graphics. Two Point Hospital This is the spiritual successor to Theme Hospital, a simulator game that has you running your own medical facility. Realm Royale Realm Royal gives the battle royale genre a fantasy twist. It is available now in an alpha form for free. Ooblets Ooblets is a farming and creature-collecting game. It sure is cute! Anno 1880 This is the newest installment in the Anno strategy game series, which focuses on building and maintaining large cities. This is a top-down, isometric battle royale game. That’s three! It’s inspired by the webcomic Happiness and Cyanide. It takes place during the apocalypse. This is a new trailer for the next installment in the hit stealth series.<doc-sep>This feels like Day9 of E3 The tagline for this year's E3 PC Gaming Show is "See the future of PC gaming." Well, yeah! Every E3 press conference is completely focused on the future of its subject. It wouldn't make much sense if these were just giant retrospectives. Dumb slogan aside, we're 30 minutes from the start of 2018's PC Gaming Show. What hardware drama can we expect? AMD just revealed its 32-core 64-thread Ryzen Threadripper so we probably won't see any CPU stuff unless Intel has something up its sleeve. The release date of the Nvidia 1180 was recently cast into doubt, so maybe this an opportune time for that reveal. Also, Intel has been rumored to be getting into the GPU game (but that might be an announcement that's best saved for CES). As for games, who knows what's in store. The PC Gaming Show has kind of traditionally been a place for news tidbits and demos that don't fit into any other press conferences. The guest list was made public a few weeks ago and Sega and Square Enix are probably the most notable publishers who are making an appearance. Anyway, join us and get down to chat in the comments as we see the future of PC gaming. Crystal balls are optional. (Also, here's a link to the week's press conference schedule so you always know which publisher is up next.)<doc-sep>It can be tough to keep up with all the reveals and new footage out of E3, so every year we put together a list of every game revealed or shown—even the ones that definitely aren't going to be on PC, because it's nice to know what might be influencing PC game designers in the coming years. We'll be updating this list after each E3 press conference, including the latest trailers and our estimation of every game's PC release likelihood. Check back all week as we add new games. The Elder Scrolls 6 Coming to PC? It has to be, right? When's it out? Unknown We knew Bethesda was kicking around a new Elder Scrolls, but it's nice to have it properly confirmed with a teaser, isn't it? They did just that at the Bethesda E3 Showcase. Behold: A mountain! Starfield Coming to PC? In all likelihood, yes When's it out? Not sure The long-rumored Bethesda space RPG has finally been announced. As with The Elder Scrolls 6, we didn't get much—just a brief teaser. We do know that it'll be a singleplayer game. And as Todd Howard mentioned, it's Bethesda's first wholly original game in 25 years. "Starfield is a game that we have spent years thinking about and working on," he said, "something we feel uniquely positioned to pull off and that we're incredibly excited about." Fallout 76 Coming to PC? Yep When's it out? November 14, 2018 We've finally seen Fallout 76 in action, and now know that it's an online-only survival game set in West Virginia. Base-building makes a grand return, and you'll be able to pick up whatever you plop down and move it wherever you like. A world four times bigger than Fallout 4's is home to new creatures based on local folklore. We'll be able to play a beta soon, we think, because Fallout 76 is only a few months away from release. Doom Eternal Coming to PC? It has to When's it out? Not sure The sequel to the excellent Doom reboot has been confirmed, but that's just about all we know. The Doom Slayer is going to be even more powerful, and they'll need to be against a purported twice as many demons. Also, the Cacodemons have arms now. What the hell. We'll find out more about Doom Eternal at QuakeCon in Dallas this August. Wolfenstein: Youngblood Coming to PC? Most likely When's it out? 2019 Wolfenstein: Youngblood is a spin-off and sequel to Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, but it's set much later in Nazi-controlled 1980s Paris. Even more interesting is that it stars B.J. Blazkowicz's twin daughters. Even more interesting yet is that it's a co-op game. We'll get to play it in 2019. Cyberpunk 2077 Coming to PC? Hell yes When's it out? TBA We finally got out first look at CD Projekt RED’s Cyberpunk 2077 at the Microsoft conference. It was a scene-setting trailer that showcased the tone of the world. We have no idea how explorable that massive city is yet, but it’s an exciting glimpse of the vibrant cyberpunk future CDPR are angling for. Just Cause 4 Coming to PC? Of course When's it out? December 4 We had an inkling Just Cause 4 was in the works, what with two leaks ahead of the actual announcement. After the third game felt a little too similar to the second, though, the fourth one needed a bit of a refresh, and it looks like that's coming in the form of elaborate weather effects. Halo Infinite Coming to PC? Yes When's it out? Unknown Halo is finally coming back to PC after years away, although the trailer doesn't give too much away. It's really more of an engine demo than anything, but the description on YouTube does at least confirm it's coming to Windows 10, whatever it is. Gears Tactics Coming to PC? Yes When's it out? 2019 Expect massive boss battles, tactical gameplay and a customisable squad in this unexpected PC-only Gears prequel. It's set 12 years before the first game, for those of you deep into the grimy, large-armed lore of the Gears series. It's being made by the team at Splash Damage, a frequent collaborator on the series. Gears of War 5 Coming to PC? Yes When's it out? 2019 The newest Gears of War entry made a surprisingly low-key debut at the Xbox conference. That is, until about 50 seconds into this trailer, when the action starts and a squidgy enemy gets knifed in the head. You'll star as Gears 4 character Kait in this one. Like the last entry, it's coming to PC. Battletoads Coming to PC? Probably When's it out? 2019 Ancient Rare series Battletoads is returning in a new form, though there's not loads to say about it right now. It's a partnership with DLaLa studios, and while it wasn't specifically mentioned for PC, Microsoft's current policy is to release everything on Windows 10 too. Dying Light 2 Coming to PC? Yes When's it out? TBA Excitingly, Dying Light 2 was introduced to the world by writer and designer Chris Avellone, who's working with developer Techland on creating a story where your decisions will have effects on the world around you. Expect everything in this sequel to get far scarier at night, obviously. Kingdom Hearts 3 Coming to PC? No When's it out? January 2019, on consoles The Disney/Square Enix mash-up debuted some Frozen footage that its fans will no doubt love, but as ever, the series shows no signs of making the leap to PC. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Coming to PC? Yes When's it out? 2019 Published by Activision, surprisingly, the next From Software release will be a third-person action game directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki. The debut trailer is surprisingly heavy on story, but Souls fans will find some of the combat elements at least superficially familiar. Since we have a lot of Souls and Bloodborne obsessives on-team, this is easily one of the show's highlights so far. Shadow of the Tomb Raider Coming to PC? Yes When's it out? September 14 We knew Shadow of the Tomb Raider was coming for a while now, but E3 brought us the first look at the game in action. It's been billed as the final part of Lara's origin trilogy, and, well, it sure looks like a Tomb Raider game. The Quiet Man Coming to PC? Yes When's it out? TBA The weirdest—and worst—trailer from Square Enix's E3 showcase starts with a live action video of a seemingly deaf man approaching some poorly acted gangsters in an alley, and then punching them. This videogame looks bad, but it is coming to PC. More details will apparently be revealed in August. The Division 2 Coming to PC? Yes When's it out? March 15, 2019 The Division 2 made a pretty big splash at the Xbox conference, with an extended demo that showed off its new Washington DC environment, more open level design and new gear. It offers a nice contrast to the snowy streets of New York seen in the first game. Forza Horizon 4 Coming to PC? Yep When's it out? October 2, 2018 While we were pretty certain the UK has only one default weather type, grey skies with light rain, Forza Horizon 4 aims to prove us wrong with a British setting that'll constantly change seasons. You can collect over 450 cars in this one. Devil May Cry 5 Coming to PC? Yes When's it out? Spring 2019 Devil May Cry returns in its original, Capcom-made format with this sequel, which will arrive over a decade after DMC4. It features three playable characters, including Nero and seemingly Dante, and looks faithful to the challenging hack-and-slash entries of old. Oh, they've scanned all the clothing into the game, if high fidelity jackets are your sort of thing. Metro Exodus Coming to PC? Yes When's it out? February 22, 2019 The more outdoors-y third entry in the Metro series looks technologically impressive, as ever, but the real highlight of its E3 trailer is getting to see more exterior environments. It looks closer to a Stalker-style experience than the series has offered up in the past.<doc-sep>
With so many huge announcements and popular games on display at E3 every year, it can be easy to lose track of some games, especially if they aren’t part of one of the big console-specific press conference held by Microsoft or Sony. Thankfully, the PC Gaming Show is back for its fourth year at E3 to highlight some of games that may not have a big place at the other press conferences thanks to their focus on the console experience. While we don’t know exactly what will be at this year’s show we can take a look at what has been there in the past to get a hint. Last year’s show featured a wealth of strategy game trailers like XCOM 2: War of the Chosen and BattleTech, as well as a the first vaulting trailer for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Along with these more PC-focused games, the conference also tends to play host to a few niche announcements for big games like last year’s PC features reveal for Destiny 2 or the cinematic trailer for Middle-Earth: Shadow of War. HOW AND WHERE TO WATCH THE PC GAMING SHOW PRESS CONFERENCE AT E3 2018 The PC Gaming Show will take place on Monday, June 11 at 3 p.m. PT/6 p.m. ET at The Wiltern theater and will be shown live on PC Gamer’s Twitch channel or right here at the top of the post. Check out Polygon for more coverage of the PC Gaming Conference and everything else happening at E3 2018.
