E3 is always one of the biggest weeks of the year for game announcements, details and trailers. To get warmed up, New Atlas is diving into the crazy rumors, confirmed appearances and potential wild-cards of this year’s E3 expo.

After rumors that Google was planning a streaming service for video games, the company has now confirmed it. Dubbed Project Stream, the system is due for its first public test this week, with lucky participants getting to have a crack at Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey right from a browser tab.

E3 2018 aka Gamer Christmas, kicks off next week. ’Tis the season to gorge on new reveals, details and trailers gifted to us by Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and big publishers like EA, Ubisoft and Bethesda. New Atlas runs through the games confirmed, expected or suspected to be at the show.

Non-gamers might be surprised how much effort goes into accurate historical recreations of game environments in the Assassin's Creed series. Now, the latest game takes you on an interactive, educational virtual tour of Ancient Egypt without making you stab anyone in the neck.

​E3 2017 is in full swing and, as usual, the firehose of news and trailers makes it hard to keep track of the announcements that matter. New Atlas has rounded up the biggest announcements from publishers EA, Ubisoft and Bethesda.

​The biggest week on the gaming calendar is almost here – the E3 expo. New Atlas runs through the games we know, expect or hope will make an appearance this year, from the likes of Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft and Bethesda.

Ubisoft and South Park might be too committed to fart jokes with the Nosulus Rift, a bad-taste gag of a peripheral. We played the first 15 minutes of South Park: The Fractured But Whole at PAX Australia this weekend, with the handicap of having every in-game fart blasted directly into our faces.

​Next to E3, Gamescom is one of the main red letter dates on the gamer calendar, with the big studios taking the time to drop new trailers and details on the games coming over the holiday season and into the new year. Read on as New Atlas picks out the best on show this year.

From stealth games and arena shooters to awesome new VR experiences, there was a lot to get excited about at third party events at E3 2016. Read on as we pick out the biggest and best games on show.

Many game publishers use E3 as a golden opportunity to showcase their biggest and best gaming offerings. From the next Mass Effect to brand new franchises, read on as Gizmag picks out the biggest announcements from Bethesda, EA, Ubisoft and Square Enix.

Originally released in 2011, Rocksmith has now been refreshed for 2014, and Gizmag has spent some considerable time getting to grips with this powerful, feature-packed gaming and learning platform.

Gizmag popped to Eurogamer Expo to see the latest demo of Watch Dogs, one of a handful of non-sequels set to grace the next generation of consoles upon their release in November. Though we could only observe the live demo, what we saw looked like a decidedly current-generation experience.
