E3 2018 Splinter Cell Remains Hidden at Ubisoft's Briefing
Missing in action
After the Walmart Canada leak, we thought it was a sure thing, but there was no sign of Splinter Cell at Ubisoft’s E3 2018 press conference tonight. It means either the game’s not happening, or it will put in an appearance at Sony’s briefing later on – but we’ve alrea

E3 2018 The Quiet Man Makes Some Noise on PS4
Louder
Our mother always used to tells us: it’s the quiet ones you want to watch out for.

Hell if we know: the game was just announced during the company’s E3 2018 press...
E3 2018 Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Bucks the Trend with a Traditional Season Pass
Will include 12 multiplayer maps
With many other titles in the FPS space ditching the route of a paid Season Pass to access post-launch DLC, it was thought that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 may go along with this trend too.

Soapbox Sony's E3 2018 Press Conference Will Not Bring More Than the Big Four
You've been warned. Again
As Microsoft rattled off an unprecedented number of third-party announcements last night, I turned to the Push Square team and I said: Sony really is focusing on the big four.

Guide What Time Is Ubisoft's E3 2018 Press Conference?
And what to expect
As we know, Ubisoft is returning to E3 this year with another press conference. Out of all the publishers that hold these shows, the French company tends to be the least predictable, often bringing some off-the-wall, or just plain strange, flamboyance to proceedings.

Check a look
Devolver Digital is back at E3 with its second press conference, and it's another gloriously over the top spoof of the entire event. The character of Nina returns to present the brief presser, and she brings her foul-mouthed, overly aggressive style back to E3 with aplomb. This conference...

Hell yes
We figured it was about time to see a sequel to the very well received Doom, and here's our first glimpse.

E3 2018 The Division 2 First Gameplay Features Awful Gamer Speak, Cool Environments
Cover me, guys
You get the feeling that Ubisoft wanted to tone down the "gamer speak" for this first look at The Division 2, but it's still pretty bloody terrible.
