Here’s a look at the seven games revealed or otherwise highlighted at E3 2018 that we can’t wait to play. ## Cyberpunk 2077 Imagine a _Grand Theft Auto_ game set in a dystopian, _Blade Runner-_esque futuristic California. That’s pretty much _Cyberpunk 2077,_ as far as we can tell. Players will navigate Night City’s six different regions in an open-world RPG-style adventure, taking various missions and generally trying to survive a gritty-yet-glamorous world. Developer CD Projekt hasn’t put a release date on this one yet, but it’ll be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC when it’s done. ## Fallout 76 Speaking of dystopian futures, there’s a new _Fallout_ game on the horizon from Bethesda: _Fallout 76\._ Whereas _Fallout_ games have typically been set several decades after a Cold War-era nuclear apocalypse, _Fallout 76_ will drop players into the lore just a couple of decades after the bombs fell. The gameplay promises to be different, too — Bethesda is framing this one up as an online-only shared-world survival game. _Fallout 76_ is slated for release on Nov. 14 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. ## Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Electronic Arts hasn’t revealed a ton of information about this one just yet, but the plot sounds promising enough: You’re a Jedi Padawan who survived Order 66 and now must carry on as the Jedi are hunted down and slaughtered across the galaxy. We won’t get this one until “Holiday 2019,” says EA. But that dark period in the _Star Wars_ lore is ripe for excellent storytelling opportunities that have so far gone largely untapped since the Extended Universe canon was wiped in 2014. ## Spider-Man One of the biggest hits of E3 was no doubt Insomniac Games’ _Spider-Man_, the latest in a long line of web-slinging platformers featuring Peter Parker and co. The game is playable at E3, and the folks who’ve gotten a spin with it are lauding it for its visuals, controls and overall enjoyability. Superhero games are notoriously difficult to pull off, but _Spider-Man_ may just have what it takes to be a hit when the Insomniac Games title arrives for the PlayStation 4 on Sept. 7. ## Super Smash Bros. Ultimate The Nintendo Switch’s ever-expanding software library is slowly but surely turning it into a can’t-miss system. That’ll be doubly true with the Dec. 7 release of _Super Smash Bros. Ultimate,_ a brand new Smash game built specifically for Nintendo’s latest console. Nintendo says the latest installation of its cross-title brawling franchise will feature every character that’s ever been in the series (but there’s still no Waluigi, [to the dismay of some](https://www.polygon.com/e3/2018/6/12/17454820/everyones-in-super-smash-bros-ultimate-except-waluigi "undefined")). Oh, and if you’ve still got one hanging around, the game will be compatible with GameCube controllers, a favorite of some hardcore smashers. ## Last of Us Part II A long-awaited sequel to one of the PlayStation 3’s best-selling games, _The Last of Us Part II_ will be a sequel set five years after the events of the post-apocalyptic original. Characters Ellie and Joel are returning, though both have clearly been affected by several more years of desperate survival. Developer Naughty Dog hasn’t put a release date on this one yet, but legions of fans are eagerly anticipating its arrival nonetheless. ## Bonus: Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch Fortnite is by no means a new game, with millions of players already competing to be the last person standing. But its arrival on the Nintendo Switch is a big deal both for the game (because it’ll reach even more players) and the console (because it’s another sign Nintendo is targeting older teens and adults, not just younger players). With throngs of kids about to be unleashed upon the world until school starts up again in autumn, the summer of Fortnite is undoubtedly upon us. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5312276/e3-2018-best-games/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5312276/e3-2018-best-games/"},"headline":"7 Games Revealed at E3 2018 That We Can't Wait to Play","datePublished":"2018-06-14T17:58:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:51:46.372Z","description":"Here's a look at the seven games revealed or otherwise highlighted at E3 2018 that we can't wait to play.","url":"https://time.com/5312276/e3-2018-best-games/","keywords":["Tech","Video Games","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf904fd4ee4c86bdd/6989330d86f68e806e6e96ca/e3-2018.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alex Fitzpatrick","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alex-fitzpatrick/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf904fd4ee4c86bdd/6989330d86f68e806e6e96ca/e3-2018.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"E3 2018","caption":"E3 2018","creditText":"Christian Petersen—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5312276/e3-2018-best-games/","name":"7 Games Revealed at E3 2018 That We Can't Wait to Play"}}]}] ```
