Now, this particular press conference has already been covered in a featured blog posted yesterday(http:\/\/blog.cyberpowerpc.com\/2018\/06\/11\/e3-2018-day-3-square-enix-highlight\/), but here&#8217;s a general recap.\u00a0<em>Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Kingdom Hearts 3, and Just Cause 4<\/em> were the main\u00a0 headliners, but the conference as a whole was disappointing. This was because Square Enix failed to display trailers for the immensely hyped games\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/em>,\u00a0<em>The Avengers<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>Guardians of the Galaxy,\u00a0<\/em>while also replaying many of the trailers already shown at the E3 Microsoft Conference.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><em>Ubisoft Press Conference<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ubisoft, the French video game giant, had their press conference second, displaying a wide variety of video games. Whatever your preference is, this jam-packed conference is sure to have something you&#8217;ll enjoy. Here are the highlights.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cyberpowergaming.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Dfb7d9NVMAA_RvX_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Image result for just dance 2019\" \/><\/p>\n<pre>                                          Photo Credit: Siliconera<\/pre>\n<p>Starting off, we had the fan favorite\u00a0<em>Just Dance 2019<\/em>, which featured a live dance routine with extravagant outfits and colors(even a panda costume). Some of the songs in the game include Finesse, OMG, Fire, Dame Tu Cosita, Mama Mia, and many more.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Beyond Good &amp; Evil 2: E3 2018 Cinematic Trailer | Ubisoft [NA]\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IsoIUHDrPcg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<pre>                                 Video Credit: Ubisoft North America<\/pre>\n<p>Next up was\u00a0<em>Beyond Good &amp; Evil 2<\/em>,\u00a0with the iconic interplay between animal hybrids and humans in space. They&#8217;re all interrupted from their various activities when a massive storm approaches, wrecking havoc to their spaceships. Former protagonist Jade is shown emerging ominously from the enemy ship, accompanied by what appears to be two killer robots. Trailer aside, a game play demo during the conference showcased the game&#8217;s new city, Ganesha, along with the new ability of players to control both ground characters and aerial vehicles, allowing for both solo and co-op fun.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"THE DIVISION 2 E3 2018 CINEMATIC TRAILER\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PTsfA5oYeiM?start=115&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<pre>                                  Video Credit: Game Clips and Tips<\/pre>\n<p>In this intense cinematic trailer,\u00a0<em>The Division 2\u00a0<\/em>presents a world in which the smallpox epidemic has died down, but the corruption and lawless violence has not.\u00a0 Of course, the mission is to counteract this, and to save the country. The real news, however, lies in the announcement that raids against bosses have been added to the game, which being so difficult, will require players to join forces in teams of up to 8 players. As an added bonus, 3 DLC packs will be released periodically after the game&#8217;s release.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Assassin&#039;s Creed Odyssey: E3 2018 Official World Premiere Trailer | Ubisoft [NA]\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s_SJZSAtLBA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<pre>                               Video Credit: Ubisoft North America<\/pre>\n<p>To finish things off, we have the most hyped Ubisoft game of the conference:\u00a0<em>Assassin&#8217;s Creed Odyssey.\u00a0<\/em>The game&#8217;s absolutely stunning visuals and smooth game mechanics center around the journey of a Spartan warrior, and you&#8217;ll be able to explore the gorgeous mountains, seas, and meadows of ancient Greece. A distinguishing unique characteristic about this game is that you&#8217;ll be able to choose between a male or female character(Alexios or Kassandra), creating a lot more opportunity for diverse game play experiences. Historical events are also a key factor, as the game takes place during the Peloponnesian War. All in all, the game looks incredibly amazing, and its legions of fans will not be disappointed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important Note:\u00a0<\/strong>Unfortunately, the much anticipated\u00a0<em>Splinter Cell<\/em> did not make an appearance during the conference. In a later interview, Ubisoft President and CEO Yves Guillemot did confirm that Ubisoft will return to the\u00a0<em>Splinter Cell\u00a0<\/em>franchise, but said no more on why it was\u00a0missing from the conference.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><em>PC Gaming Show<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The PC Gaming Show was chock full of amazing games, with\u00a0over 25 games making their appearance into E3.
