E3 this year delivered big trailers and huge surprises. In addition, the biggest gaming event of the year also provided information about future releases from big companies like Ubisoft, Bethesda, Microsoft and more. Unlike 2018, studios tended to give the audience sneak peaks in CG, not the actual gameplay.
Regardless, there were tons of quality content at the event and here are some of the best trailers at E3 2019 in no particular order:
