The conferences are done and the trailers have all been shown. With that being the case, here are our favourites. 18 of them to be exact.

HQ

For many it'll be the game of the show, and sci-fi fans will be licking their augmented lips in anticipation after seeing what CD Projekt Red is cooking up for them in Cyberpunk 2077.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 is starting to become synonymous with barnstorming CGI trailers. We got to see some of the game itself too this year, but if it's entertainment you're after, look no further than this cinematic offering.

HQ

Naughty Dog showed off an extensive trailer revealing both sides of The Last of Us: Part II. On the one hand, we get to see Ellie slow-dancing with her partner. On the other, we cut to an altogether more deadly dance.

Another show opener came in the form of Halo Infinite, which Microsoft teased at the beginning of its conference. We don't get to see much, although there are some subtle clues if you look hard enough.

HQ

The Quiet Man looks to offer a unique premise via its deaf protagonist. It's not all that clear how this will manifest itself in terms of gameplay, but we like the gritty style and look forward to finding out more.

HQ

Another extended gameplay showing from Sony, Ghost of Tsushima looks absolutely stunning at times thanks to some lush environmental design and some smartly constructed action sequences.

HQ

Bethesda is taking things in a slightly different direction with Fallout 76. The series is getting some online features and the West Virginia-set story will act as a prequel to the entire series.

HQ

Master of destruction Rico Rodrigeuz is making his return in Just Cause 4, one of three Avalanche Studios games to feature during this year's E3 (Rage 2 and Generation Zero being the other two).

HQ

This year's E3 wasn't the strongest when it came to racing games, but luckily for us Forza Horizon 4 was announced during Microsoft's presser. Even better is the news that it's set here in the UK.

HQ

Is there a more enigmatic game out there? We think not, but then again, that's exactly how Hideo Kojima likes it. Watch the trailer and come to your own conclusions about the mysterious Death Stranding.

HQ

Microsoft had big reveals for all three of its major franchises. Among them was our first look at Gears 5, the next entry in the brutal third-person shooter saga (and one of three Gears games on show this year).

HQ

We didn't get to see much of Doom Eternal during Bethesda's presser, but after the trailer had finished it was suggested that this was actually Hell on Earth. That little tidbit of info makes this trailer all the more interesting.

HQ

From Software surprised plenty of people with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and as you can see in the trailer attached, the studio's next offering is quite a departure from the Souls series.

HQ

One of the first games we got to see this E3 was Anthem, which was just about the only highlight from EA's press conference on Saturday evening. Still, Bioware's next game looks ace.

HQ

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is taking the series even further back in time to when city-states Athens and Sparta were at loggerheads. Expect to kick lots of guards off of cliffs in Ubisoft's latest historical adventure.

HQ

Let's be honest, Nintendo's livestream was a bit underwhelming. That is unless you're a big Smash fan, in which case you're probably happy with all the announcements about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

HQ

After scaring us senseless with Resi7, Capcom is back once again with another zombie-filled chiller. This time series fans can look forward to a totally remade version of Resident Evil 2. Yay!

HQ

And finally, here's the obligatory Skyrim trailer. Well played, Bethesda, well played.
