Today the ESA announced the full lineup of panels and guests for the inaugural E3 Coliseum, and its impressive. 

This two-day event, produced by Geoff Keighley, gives, visionary developers, and special guests from other entertainment industries a chance to come together to talk about games. It runs from June 13-14, and each day is jam-packed with panels. 

One of the most notable sessions is a discussion about world-building across entertainment mediums with astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson, director James Gunn, Gearbox's Randy Pitchford, and 343 Industries' Kiki Wolfkill. Hideo Kojima and film director Jordan Vogt-Roberts will also chat about the mutual influences between games and cinema, and Keighley is also hosting a wide-ranging conversation between Tim Schafer and Jack Black. 

The E3 Coliseum is also a place to show off some of the hottest games at the show. Cory Barlog will be there to showcase the new God of War, Rare will be discussing the challenges of creating the shared-world pirate adventure in Sea of Thieves, and Ubisoft will present the new Assassin's Creed as well. The Coliseum also has slots reserved for unannounced games from Bethesda, Epic Games, and Square Enix. 

All of the panels can be watched live on Twitch, Mixer, YouTube, and Facebook Live. You can check out the full lineup here.
