Sony rules the E3 2018 showfloor
Same as the last ten years the Los Angeles Convention Center plays host to the official E3 expo this year. We now had access to the Convention Center's map layout with exhibitor booths and it seems Sony will have a massive presence this year. West Hall will mostly be divided by Sony and Nintendo, with PlayStation having a bigger space (look closely and you'll see a total of four Sony booths, where the smaller typically allow for behind-closed-doors sessions and meetings.
South Hall will be home to several third parties, with Epic Games showing the biggest growth from past E3's - mostly due to Fortnite, we suspect. Microsoft presence (through the Mixer booth), much smaller than previous years, as the company will be hosting is own 'private' E3 in the Microsoft Theater a couple of hundred metres from the Convention Center. Bethesta, Activision, Square Enix, Capcom, and Ubisoft, are other big players in the South Hall. Electronic Arts will have it's own EA Play the days prior to the show in Hollywood.
The upper floor, there will also be several meetings and "behind close doors" showings - as last year's E3, this year the show will also be open to the general public, but naturally some areas are for trade and press only. Missing from these maps is the Concourse Hall where smaller developers and publishers typically are housed, remains to be seen if that area is in use this year or if those exhibitors have been moved out to smaller booths in the South and West halls.
E3 2018 is scheduled to 12 to 15 of June. If you wish to know the conferences dates and times, click here.
