e3_2019_predictions:what_we_think_will_happen_at_the_show

World of Warcraft lead Ion announced the WoW: Shadowlands expansion with an incredible new cinematic trailer at BlizzCon 2019. The lengthly cinematic continues the story established in BfA and focuses on World of Warcraft lore. It depicts an encounter between Sylvanas, who has traveled to Icecrown, and the current Lich King, Bolvar. Sylvanas arrives at Icecrown in pursuit of something much more nefarious than just claiming the throne for herself though. The trailer's twist ending sparked a ton of debate on the internet and in the WoW commun

One of the biggest, if not the biggest game at E3 2019, was CD Projekt RED's ambitious open world title, Cyberpunk 2077 . The CG trailer introduced fans to the male version of V, showed off lots of newer story elements and plot points, and finally gave fans what they want: An actual release date for the game. With one of the biggest questions about the title answered, the studio could've stopped there. Instead, it upped the ante even further by announcing the inclusion of Johnny Silverhand played by none other than Keanu Reev

Blizzard revealed Diablo 4 with a very lengthy cinematic that puts the spotlight on the game's main villains and the return to a dark, gothic-inspired tone. In the cinematic trailer, fans witness the villain Lilith summoned, complete with Satantic horns and what appears to be a huge (and disgusting) cape made out of human s

Perhaps the biggest title fans were anticipating from Square Enix at E3 2019 was Marvel's Avengers . While this game had been previously announced with a dark and ominous teaser, nearly nothing had been shown before this year's event. The E3 2019 trailer gave fans their first look at the game and its five starting heroes: Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, and Black Widow (Ms. Marvel wasn't confirmed until later). As the trailer reveals, a celebration turns deadly, splitting up the team until five years later when new threats force them to reassem

However, despite its clunky mechanics, Mafia 2 features a compelling and mature story of Vito Scaletta's rise to power in the ranks of the Falcone crime family. Fans of Yakuza's more dramatic and political mob stories will love the struggles of Vito and his relationships with friends and fam

A supposedly leaked document claims that Nintendo will be announcing a number of new first-party games at E3 this year, including Fire Emblem Memories , F-Zero SX , Punch-Out!! Become the Champion , and more. Nintendo is also expected to pull the curtain back on Metroid Prime 4 , apparently renamed to Metroid Prime: Renegade , as well as confirm the longstanding rumor that Fortnite is being ported to the Swit

With the E3 2019 festivities starting on June 8 with EA Play, we decided to put together our predictions for what we will see at the show. Some of these predictions seem to have a good chance of happening, while others are a bit more out there. Come E3, it will be interesting to see which predictions are proved true, and which ones didn't quite pan

Despite the modern and realistic settings, the games feature brawling mechanics similar to the old-school beat-em-ups combined with traditional JRPG elements with near-random battles and leveling up. While few games replicate the Yakuza series, these games should satisfy f

One potential Ubisoft E3 2018 surprise was the reveal of Assassin's Creed Odyssey , which leaked ahead of time and was then confirmed by the company. However, just because Assassin's Creed Odyssey leaked, that doesn't mean Ubisoft doesn't have any other surprises in store for fans. Rumors point to a brand new Splinter Cell game being announced at E3 this year, which would mark the first Splinter Cell title in five years. Whether or not that comes to pass remains to be seen, but fans should be sure to tune in to Ubisoft's E3 2018 press conference to

Moreover, it features a good balance between humor and the tone of a crime thriller, like the Yakuza series. Gameplay elements like hacking into the city's technology can create hilarious moments of slapstick comedy and destruct

First-party games may be the main focus of Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference, but the company is also expected to give a proper introduction to Rocksteady's rumored Superman Adventure Game updates . Apparently, Superman: World's Finest will be announced during Microsoft's press conference, where it will be revealed that Brainiac is the game's main vill

Some companies hosting press conferences, like Electronic Arts, haven't had much in the way of leaks leading up to the show. EA will be showcasing the likes of Anthem and Battlefield V at E3, but just because there haven't been many rumors about other EA titles at the show, that doesn't mean fans aren't still in for some surpri

E3 2019 has come to a close, and as usual, the event featured a staggering number of games on display, including some promising horror games. With no new Capcom announcement as was rumored, the horror genre was a bit underrepresented compared to previous years, but there were still quite a few impressive horror titles at the s
