Press conferences
Konami, Microsoft, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, and Sony all hosted press conferences during the conference.[4] However, Nintendo took a different approach by holding no traditional press conference. Instead, Nintendo held "a few smaller events that are specifically focused on our software lineup", and aired a special episode of Nintendo Direct to focus on upcoming U.S. releases and new game unveilings.[5]
Konami
Konami held its 3rd annual pre-E3 show on June 6, 2013. The presentation showcased the company's 40th anniversary and its Dance Dance Revolution: Classroom Edition initiative, before providing updates on upcoming game releases. This included the games Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.[6]
Microsoft
Microsoft's press conference took place on June 10, 2013 at 4:30pm (GMT). The company announced a November 2013 release date for its forthcoming Xbox One console, priced at $499.[7] The software lineup was also revealed, including Dead Rising 3, Quantum Break, Ryse: Son of Rome and the next installment of Halo,[8] later revealed to be Halo 5: Guardians.
Controversy arose during Microsoft's showcase of Killer Instinct when an apparent reference to rape was made between the on-stage demonstrators. Microsoft later apologized for the incident and stated that the remarks were not scripted.[9][10]
Electronic Arts
Electronic Arts' press conference took place on June 10, 2013 at 1:00pm (PDT). Among the new titles shown were the racing game Need for Speed: Rivals, the parkour simulator Mirror's Edge Catalyst and the first-person shooters Battlefield 4 and Titanfall. EA Sports announced a number of new releases, such as Madden NFL 25, NBA Live 14, FIFA 14, NHL 14 and EA Sports UFC.[11]
Ubisoft
Ubisoft's press conference took place on June 10, 2013 at 3:00pm (PDT). Upcoming action-adventure games included Watch Dogs and the sequels Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist.[12] Two new franchises – The Crew and The Division – were also announced.
Sony
Sony's press conference took place on June 10, 2013 at 6:00pm (PDT). The PlayStation 4 was publicly shown for the first time, retailing at $399.[13] The software lineup included Infamous: Second Son, The Order: 1886 and Killzone: Shadow Fall. There were also new games introduced for the PlayStation 3, such as Gran Turismo 6, Beyond: Two Souls and The Last of Us.[14]
Nintendo
The E3 edition of Nintendo Direct aired at June 11, 2013 at 7:00am (PDT). Nintendo first showed a new trailer for the Nintendo 3DS titles Pokémon X and Y, including the announcement of a new Pokémon type, Fairy Type. After that, Nintendo focused mostly on showing upcoming Wii U titles. Nintendo showed some of the third-party and digital titles coming to the Wii U, and more about previously announced games such as X, The Wonderful 101, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, and the first gameplay footage of Bayonetta 2. Among the new games announced for Wii U were the new installments of Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Super Mario 3D World, and Mario Kart 8.
