E3 2021 was full of highs and lows, but if there's one thing that we can agree on it's that there were tons of spectacular trailers. While the gameplay and the games themselves are always the focus, there's no denying that a select few of this year's trailers were a cut above the rest.

These promotional videos have the very important job of giving viewers the best first impression possible in a few minutes -- sometimes seconds. While not every trailer worked (see the overly cheeky reveal of The Outer Worlds 2), others left us with plenty to chew on coming out of the four-day event. Here are the trailers that did their job better than most at E3 2021.

With big players like Sony and EA skipping this year’s show, it was inevitable that there were going to be plenty of MIA games. Outside of the usual suspects, there was a slew of games we desperately wanted to see but that just didn’t make the cut. Regardless of whether these games (and one console) are stuck in development hell, delayed because of COVID-19, don’t actually exist, or are just waiting for a different day in the sun, here is a list of some of the biggest missing names from E3 2021.
