E3 2016 Game Trailers: Norman Reedus, ‘Spider-Man,’ ‘Halo Wars 2’ And So Much More
Despite the hardware news this week, E3 2016, In Los Angeles, is still all about the games. For gamers, that means a bounty of new trailers revealing gameplay and cinematic introductions to new worlds. Whether you're a fan of the PC, Xbox One or PlayStation, it's hard not to get excited about what's ahead. Here are all 33 games revealed at E3 2016:
‘Death Stranding’
This may be the most buzzed-about trailer coming out of E3 2016.

There is so much symbolism to unpack from the brief trailer that fans will be dissecting the trailer for months.

It will be out for the PS4, but no release date was announced during the PlayStation E3 2016 press conference.
