Exciting Games announced at E3

1.THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD 2 CONFIRMED FOR NINTENDO SWITCH

Breath of the Wild is coming back for a new game on Switch, Nintendo has announced.Nintendo has announced that a sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is currently in development for Nintendo Switch. The surprising and exciting news capped off the company’s recent E3 2019 Direct press conference. Nintendo didn’t share too many details about the game beyond that, but it did reveal a short and eerie teaser trailer for the follow-up, which you can see above.While initially unclear whether this was DLC for Breath of the Wild or something else, at the end of the video, Nintendo tacked on a simple declaration: “The sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is now in development.” No release date, title, or further details were announced.

The teaser trailer, which you can watch above, showed Link traveling with Zelda herself on horseback, and we see something happening with Hyrule Castle in the distance. The video also featured some eerie music and a stunning landscape similar to the one seen in the original game. We’ve got a Breath of the Wild sequel trailer breakdown that dives further into what there is to glean from this debut video.A subsequent press release recapping the event, unfortunately, did not share anything further, only reiterating the game is in active development and will be released for Nintendo Switch. We have since learned that some of the key talent from Breath of the Wild is back, and that the game is set in the same Hyrul.

2. GOD’S AND MONSTERS: FROM THE MAKERS OF ASSASINS’S CREED ODYSSEY

One of the obstacles in creating Assasins’s creed odyssey was its Ancient Greece setting and the brand’s focus on history. Looking that far back, the lines of distinction between history and mythology aren’t always clear. As Odyssey creative director Jonathan Dumont explained, while the development team was doing research on the setting to capture the fidelity Assassin’s Creed routinely brings to its settings, it was often tough to tell whether a historical figure or event was real or myth. That meant the team had to discard the myths whenever it could–but it also left a lot of cool things Dumont would have liked to use, but that wouldn’t have been realistic enough. Enter: God’s and Monsters

Ubisoft showed off Gods & Monsters during a closed-door, hands-off demo at E3 2019. It’s an open-world action-RPG and a new IP for the company that includes some of the same ideas as Assassin’s Creed, but which Dumont, who’s the game’s director, and senior producer Marc-Alexis Côté said is angled at being more accessible. That’s expressed in a painterly, more animated art style, abilities inspired by myth that are a bit more fantastic than what’s in an Assassin’s Creed game. The 20-minute demo that Dumont and Côté showed looked like what Assassin’s Creed might be if mixed with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Players take on the role of Fenyx, a wholly customizable hero summoned by the Olympian gods to help them battle Typhon, in a setting called the Island of the Blessed. Homer narrates the story as he tells it to his grandchildren.

“Gods & Monsters is a tale of mythology, but we often confuse mythology and fantasy,” Dumont explained. “Mythology is not fantasy. Mythology is cautionary tales and lessons and philosophy that’s been given in an oral tradition earlier on, from generation to generation for over 3,000 years, and now it’s coming back to us, right? So it’s still something that we can relate to. We always say, ‘I’m strong like Hercules,’ or things like that. It comes from that place. It is a foundation of how we view the world today, so there’s a little bit of a difference here so that we are basing it on things that are the foundation of Western civilization.”

3. DOOM ETERNAL :

Bethesda’s reboot of Doom in 2016 hit like a hammer. The speed and ferocity of combat was almost perfectly in tune with the raucous metal soundtrack, just the way Doom-heads like it. It wasn’t too surprising then when Bethesda announced that a follow-up was on the way. Doom Eternal is currently in development for almost every modern platform: PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC, and Stadia–making it one of the few games confirmed for Google’s upcoming cloud-gaming service.

Few franchises embody the FPS genre quite like Doom. Packed to the seams with blood, hellfire, shotguns, and even more blood, id Software’s ultra-violent shooter has earned legions of fans since its first game in 1993: pitching a nameless marine against hordes of demons unleashed from hell.

Now, two years after a 2016 reboot brought the franchise successfully to modern consoles, we have word of a direct sequel: Doom Eternal. The sequel will have the single-player mode continuing where the first game left off: DoomGuy has been teleoprted to an unknown location and it’s up to them to save a demon-invaded Earth.

4. FIFA 20:

EA’s FIFA 20 is looking to introduce new changes that elevate its faithful recreation of association football. This time around, there’s a larger emphasis and incentive on manual defending, as opposed to allowing an AI to dictate the defense for you. Shooting is also getting a slight revamp, with attackers given greater accuracy.

EA says that lots of work is being done on making passing and shooting more realistic. Of course, this is only the beginning of the adjustments and surprises are in store in the latest FIFA, so stay tuned as the show goes on as we hear more.So, with a FIFA 2020 game now certain, what can we expect from the next FIFA game? How’s Alex Hunter’s ‘Journey’ from amateur to pro going to conclude? And what changes can we expect when we play FIFA 20? We expect we’ll hear everything we want to know about the game during E3 2019 and EA Play but until then read on for all the news and expectations for a new FIFA game below.

5. GEARS 5 :

Aside from Halo: Infinite, Gears 5 might be the biggest upcoming game Microsoft has lined up. Not much is known about it other than its premise, which picks up directly after the events of the previous game. It focuses on Gears of War 4 supporting character now turned main protagonist, Kait Diaz, who is on a journey to uncover the origins of the Locust and her family. As a Gears game, expect tactical cover-based shooting, over-the-top setpieces, and a dash of melodrama.Gears of War 4 character Kait Diaz, who is now the protagonist for the next game. Though the series has always adhered closely to its cover-to-cover shooting mechanics, Gears 5 looks to be the most significant departure we’ve seen yet, placing more emphasis on melee combat and exploration of the planet Sera following the events of Gears of War 4.

We haven’t heard too many details about the game following its reveal last year, but that hasn’t stopped us from coming up with ideas about what we want to see from the game at E3 2019. So here’s a quick rundown of everything we know about Gears 5 so far, and what Microsoft should reveal during its E3 press conference.Gears 5 will also feature an expanded competitive multiplayer mode, but those details haven’t been revealed just yet. Recently, Xbox head of business Phil Spencer stated that he’s seen Gears 5 in action and that it’s “looking great.”

6. WATCH DOGS : LEGION

Watch Dogs Legion is basically a dream for those of you who love replaying games over and over and over. In a recent interview with Edge magazine, Watch Dogs Legion’s creative director Clint Hocking revealed that they really have gone all in on making sure that Watch Dogs Legion never plays quite the same way twice, with there being “20 different versions of the script”, each with “different characters, different personas, different voices, [and] different actingHocking went into quite a lot of detail about how varied each playthrough can be, saying that “there’s no dude on the box who’s there to start all the cinematics and the people you recruit are just the supporting cast.

There are 20 different versions of Legion’s script and I don’t just mean people saying the same lines. We’re talking different characters, different personas, different voices, different acting. We’re using technology to alter all the voices so that even if you happen to recruit Joe and John and they have the same actor and the same personality when they talk to each other, you won’t know it’s the same actor because we modulate the voices. We used photogrammetry to capture dozens of different faces, which have been combined using innovative animation techniques to produce literally thousands of unique heads.”Yikes.

That’s a lot of choice in Watch Dogs Legion. By the sounds of it you’d have to play the game over 20 times to get the same cutscene or dialogue between two characters, meaning that we could very well be playing Watch Dogs for years just like other mammoth games such as The Witcher 3 or Skyrim. As Hocking put it, “whether you choose some suave, sophisticated secret agent dude, or some 80-year-old lady that you saw feeding pigeons in the park, your story is going to be uniquely yours.” Sign me the hell up.Want to know more about Watch Dogs Legion?

7. CYBER PUNK 2077 :

Cyberpunk 2077 is the first time it’s looked like a real videogame. At E3 2019, we’re past the spectacle of seeing a new CD Projekt game for the first time and are finally figuring out what it actually is. We’ve seen the menus, the upgrade systems, shop inventories, dialogue systems, varying approaches to solving problems—the usual ‘go in stealthy versus guns-blazing’ approaches were mentioned. We’ve seen the box art and ridiculous collector’s edition.

Cyberpunk 2077 feels like Deus Ex with an obscene budget and Keanu Reeves. Like a thing that we will conceivably play and finish in April of 2020. It exists. The demo wasn’t a revelation in game design, even if the technology and art direction is staggering in scope and detail. This is CD Projekt pulling back the curtain and tamping down the cumulative years of excitement to remind everyone that it’s made a very large role-playing game and that it looks very nice and that it’s coming out soon. Here’s what I saw and what I thought about it.

Going another E3 with no one outside CDPR putting their hands on Cyberpunk is disappointing; if the game comes out in early 2020 , that would make this its last pre-release E3, and the game’s publisher has confirmed that it will be out by 2021 at the latestMomot followed up with confirmation that the presentations CDPR gives on the show floor and in private will be different.

That could mean the private one will be an altered or extended version of the public one, but I’m going to hope they’ll be two unique scenarios so we can take in twice as much new material this year. Here comes the end there is more exciting games like this do follow for more
