One of the biggest weeks in gaming is coming up right around the corner, and E3 2018 will be here before we know it. Ubisoft has already announced its plans for this year’s show, featuring The Division 2, Beyond Good and Evil 2, and more.

Ubisoft’s presser will be on Monday June 11 at 1 PM PST / 9 PM GST / 5:30 AM ACST. Like previous years, it will be hosted in the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles. Don’t miss a beat and make sure keep an eye out for our full coverage with breaking news stories and trailer roundups when the show goes live.

The list below is all the games we know Ubisoft will be talking about during its conference so far. Don’t forget to check back here before the show periodically, as the list may expand.

• The Division 2
• Beyond Good and Evil 2
• For Honor
• Skull & Bones
• Starlink: Battle for Atlas
• Transference

Ubisoft has also confirmed that the show will have a couple more surprises, but hasn’t said what they are quite yet. We do know that there will be one AAA title announced, and we’ve got our hopes up for Splinter Cell.
