“Not E3” conferences: Dates, times, how to watch and what to expect (2024)

It’s E3 time: the time of the great conferences in which companies like Microsoft and Sony announce all their news for the coming months. And although this year E3 2023 has been canceled, the spirit of the event lives on. It does so transformed into a whole bunch of different events and streams from which it’s looking very difficult to leave without a handful of games added to your wishlists. So let’s take a look at them all so that you do not miss any of their surprises.
