Many have come to expect a rocking good time at the Sony E3 announcement event. After what happened last year, with the big reveals, even moreso as die-hard fans and gamers alike are all holding their breaths. At the event kick-off, there is no Master of Ceremony, no decorum, or Big Hint moments – just a showcase of videos. Honestly, it’s a little tame to what Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) is famous for. The entire premise places its focus on the Sony PlayStation 4 console, to no one’s surprise.

Even so, the world got to see plenty of high-profile and great games; from trailers to teasers, they’re all there. Here’s an extensive overview of the main reveals at the SIE conference.

The Last of Us Part II

Most fans of The Last of Us, and their friends and family, have always known that this title will be making a come-back. Of course, just as many already know that it will star Ellie instead of Joel. Apart from cinematic cuts, there is little else known about the game. The SIE E3 2018 keynote kicks off with a new full-motion video (FMV) for The Last of Us Part II before opening into its first game play trailer. Where the FMV sequence is calm and tender, it immediately cuts to Ellie being knee-deep in enemy territory. The trailer is 12 minutes long and almost two-thirds of it reveals some interesting mechanics for the game play. This includes having Ellie pulling an arrow out from her shoulder and lying prone underneath vehicles. Sneaking around and big gun-fights are the norm, of course, though it seems the environments now have a bigger role to play.
