Keep up with all of the E3 2018 fun by following these social media accounts

You can watch all the E3 press conferences and read the latest news on your favorite gaming website (hopefully Digital Trends?), but if you want minute-to-minute insight on everything going on at the gamers’ extravaganza, following along on social media is extremely beneficial. Here are some of the best social media websites to follow during E3 2018 (not including @E3, which you should also follow).

Publishers

For starters, follow all the major publishers. If you can’t watch all of the press conferences, know that developers and publishers typically live-tweet throughout.

Geoff Keighley: @geoffkieghley

The producer and creator of The Game Awards, Geoff Keighley, also has a major E3 presence. He created the E3 Coliseum, which will take place again this year from June 12-14.

Wario64: @Wario64

Wario64 is best known for tweeting about video game deals, but the extremely active Twitter user also has a penchant for disseminating leaks (most recently, Hitman 2). Wario64 also commonly lets followers know about pre-order opportunities, so with lots of games likely getting release dates at E3, you should definitely follow this anonymous Twitter user.

Nibel: @Nibellion

Similar to Wario64, Nibel is a very active Twitter user who almost exclusively tweets about video game news. If there’s an announcement that people are talking about, chances are Nibel is tweeting about it, too.

Kinda Funny: @KindaFunnyVideos

Kinda Funny, comprised mainly of ex-IGN staffers, is one of the most popular channels on Patreon. The Kinda Funny crew always has a major presence at E3. Also, you may want to follow individual members of Kinda Funny as well:

What’s Good Games: @WhatsGood_Games

The team over at What’s Good Games has done a brilliant job providing insight and analysis on the industry. You should follow their work regardless, but they are sure to have plenty of quality E3 musings throughout the show.

Here are some individual What’s Good Games accounts to follow as well:

Fortnite Pro-Am participants: @FortniteGame

Epic Games is putting on a massive Fortnite tournament on June 12 to kick off E3. Fifty pros will compete alongside 50 celebrities in the pro-am. While there’s no guarantee the celebrities themselves will tweet about the experience, if you’re a fan of Fortnite (and who isn’t at this point?), you should follow the official account to learn the results of matches featuring celebrities such as NBA star Paul George, the great Janina Gavankar, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, comedian Joel McHale, and many more.

Digital Trends: @DigitalTrends

We know, it’s shameless self-promotion, but we’ll be tweeting throughout the show. We’ll also have multiple staffers and contributors on-site that will be good to follow.

Also, we have multiple writers covering the press conferences remotely:

After being canceled both physically and digitally in 2022, E3 seemed all but finished. Several months after this year's cancellation was announced, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) stated that the event is far from dead, with plans to return with a physical show in the works for 2023. Now, we have confirmation on just how it plans to get back on its feet after the ESA announced a partnership with ReedPop, the company behind the PAX conventions.

E3 isn’t dead just yet as ESA plans physical show for 2023

Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest, as well as other digital gaming showcase livestreams coming this summer, have proven that the gaming industry doesn't need E3, which was canceled this year for the second time in two years to reduce health risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) is telling everyone not to count it out just yet. Gaming's governing body has announced that E3 will be returning in 2023.

ESA President and CEO Stan Pierre-Louis said in an interview with The Washington Post that E3 2023 will combine both in-person and digital elements. He attributed the success of last year's virtual E3 to the expanse of its reach to fans and journalists around the world who couldn't afford to fly to Los Angeles for the convention or couldn't attend it for other reasons. He added that people still want to connect and network with each other in person.
