E3 may be dead and buried, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of other huge gaming events and showcases to get excited about this June.

It’s May already (what?!), and every big showcase is now slowly being pencilled into the schedule, so we thought we’d put together a handy guide to all of the presentations, streams, events and celebrations happening over the month, including all of the times converted to local time zones and the best places to catch them live.

This list is still being built out as more shows and details are announced, but take a look at everything you can look forward to so far in June below:
