Over on the message board ResetEra, poster Rösti engaged in some site crawling to find the Electronic Entertainment Expo's registration page for 2018, which reveals that public passes are once again returning to the show.
E3 opened up to the public in 2017, allowing thousands of non-industry fans and gamers to attend the show for the first time with tickets sold in early bird and regular varieties. They are repeating the same idea this year, with public passes being available in tweaked ours than before.
The registration page FAQ reads "E3 is now open to consumers and game enthusiasts, on a limited pass basis."
It isn't known when registration for E3 2018 will begin, but it typically goes up in either late December or early January, so the page being on the server already indicates it should be soon.
