It’ll be a busy E3 E3 press conferences are traditionally held by the three big console manufacturers. However, videogame publishers have been known to host their own when their upcoming line-ups call for it. Electronic Arts and Ubisoft are the two most notable examples, as they both have relatively long-running histories of E3 pressers. Square Enix is joining that list, at least for 2015.

We will also get to see schoolgirl slugger Sakura in action, ahead of her addition to the game’s roster. Sakura has been one of the most-demanded characters to be added to the game since launch.

Warframe: 1999doesn’t just have new content; there’s a new Warframe, too. It’s still early days with the community figuring out Cyte-09, but he’s shaping up to be quite powerful. You should also check out1999’snew arcanes, theNyx rework, and ensure you knowhow to actually acquire Cyte-09. But if you’re ready to build, here’s how we kitted out the latest Warframe. The top Cyte-09 build in Warframe right now While one of Cyte-09’s abilities is an Exalted Weapon, a sniper rifle, that playstyle isn’t to everyone’s taste, so this build subsumes off this particular ability to turn Cyte-09 into a capable weapons platform that can work with just about any weapon you’ve got if you can hit weak points....

Undoubtedly the most looked-forwardWuthering Wavescharacter at launch, Yinlin did justice to her fame by setting herself apart as the game’s best Electro-sub DPS and offensive support.

Here’s the best Yinlin sub-DPS build inWuthering Waves, as well as how to build her as a main DPS for those interested....

It seems every time we check in with Valve’sSteam Controller, it’s undergone another significant change. Thelast design, which added a D-pad of sorts and A/B/X/Y buttons, was more in line with traditional gamepads. Now, if an image making the rounds today is to be believed, Valve has dropped the four directional buttons in favor of a left-hand thumbstick. Wonder where it’ll end up with the design by the time we can actually order one of these controllers....

Also, there’s a Switch Triple Pack now One of the moreunpopular announcementsto come out of E3 concerned a couple more ports of the black sheep of theResident Evilfamily. The consensus onResident Evil 5and6generally range from “not quite as beloved as the rest of the series” to “actively disliked and are responsible for the franchise heading in the wrong direction.” And now they’re both coming to Switch. Capcom has let us know when we can expect the Switch ports to launch....

Lu Bu is growing impatient As Benjamin Franklin once said, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” This was likely a mentality that visionary tactician Sun Tzu shared, but never wrote down so I can’t quote him for this lede. Philosophical ramblings aside,Total War: Three Kingdomshas been delayed until May to better prepare it for launch. See, it all makes sense now. Rob Bartholomew, Studio Brand Director for Creative Assembly, broke the news on the officialTotal Warwebsite with a short Q&A post about the decision....

The melodrama overLeft 4 Dead 2continues apace. When welast left the story, a protest group had started on Steam, which now has over 17,000 people in it, promising not to buy the game. In response, Valve has come out of the woodwork todefend the game’s release, claiming it was too big to be DLC, and that the first game won’t simply be abandoned. “It was just like, OK, this is big enough that this isn’t DLC, we’re not going to be able to leak it out....
