A lot of people seem to be looking at E3 2021 as a return to form for big gaming expos – online or not – as there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel of the pandemic.

With that in mind the schedule for the event seems to still be rather fluid as a new updated version has been released ahead of the event kicking off on Saturday, 12th June.

Below is the full schedule as text so you can ctrl + F to find anything you’re looking for. If you prefer there’s also this schedule as an image you can save to your device.

The times listed as Pacific Time (PT). For us in South Africa this time zone is a full nine hours behind. To get the local time for anything here simply add nine hours in.

This does mean that a lot of the events will be happening relatively late for us. Even the early events taking place at around eight in the morning will already be after working hours locally.

Thankfully half of the event is over the weekend so work shouldn’t be a worry for many and, as always, you can always catch the vods on Twitch and YouTube.

While this may mean missing out on announcements as they happen, you get the benefit of watching it back at a higher playback speed to get through the mountain of BS and time wasting that usually accompanies all these shows.

With all that in mind leaks and spoilers are already coming out now so leave the internet if you want to remain completely unspoiled. You can also catch up on the latest africast where we discuss predictions for the show.
