Besides Fable , Microsoft is apparently set to leverage some of its other big franchises at the show as well. This includes Gears of War , which is rumored to have the biggest presence at the show in the form of three new games being announced. These games include Gears of War 5 , a Gears of War battle royale spinoff , and a Gears of War strategy game in the vein of Halo Wa

Head of Xbox Phil Spencer first teased the next-gen Xbox at E3 2018, and so it stands to reason that a more substantial look at the console could come at Microsoft's E3 2019 press conference on June 9. If Microsoft does talk about the next-gen Xbox , it's a safe bet that we will learn about the new console's specs, and we may even get an official name for it as well. However, anyone hoping to see an actual physical console is probably a bit too optimistic, as something like that won't be finalized until closer to launch, which many analysts predict will be November 2

Nintendo is hosting a Pokemon Sword and Shield Nintendo Direct on June 5 , but the games will also be featured as part of the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct presentation. Whether it happens at the Pokemon Sword and Shield Nintendo Direct on June 5 or at E3 itself, we expect fans to get their first look at the starter evolutions as well as the games' legendary Poke

This unforgiving turn-based strategy series was adored by its niche audience back in the '90s. After 2001, the franchise dropped off the map for more than ten years until 2012's X-COM: Enemy Unknown . The title received more attention than usual for the genre and managed to break into the mainstream audience. A sequel came out in 2016, ratcheting up the difficulty and arsenal of weaponry. Rarely do such difficult games garner such a player base, but this decade has seen intense challenges gain a new appreciation with this series and games like Dark Sou

Of course, it's possible that none of the rumored games will be announced at E3, so fans should keep that in mind before getting their hopes up. Ultimately, we'll just have to wait for the E3 festivities to kick off this weekend to see which rumors are validated and which are put to r

E3 2019 is right around the corner, and it's during the show that gamers can expect to see some of the year's biggest announcements and reveals. E3 is full of surprises every year, and even with Sony skipping E3 2019 , this year's show has potential to make huge waves in the gaming indus

If a supposedly leaked rundown of Sony's E3 2018 press conference is accurate, we already know all the games the company plans on showcasing at the event. This includes games like Bloodborne 2 and SOCOM: Coalition , but the rumored surprise games at Sony's show seem to mainly consist of third-party tit

Last year, it was leaked that a UK studio was working on a new Fable game , and then it leaked that Forza Horizon developer Playground Games was handling the project. Some expected to see the new Fable at E3 2018, and while we did get a brief hint at its existence, the game still has yet to be officially announced. If a leaked Microsoft E3 2019 press conference rundown his comment is here any indication, the new Fable will finally be announced at E3 2019 during Microsoft's press conference, where it will be revealed to be a reboot instead of Fable 4 . Rumors also claim that the next Fable will be coming to the next-gen Xbox instead of Xbox One, so it could very well be one of the first next-gen games that we

Video games go through the same processes as their popularity grows and wanes. Unlike people, however, they also have a chance for revival. As an acknowledgment of all the franchises that either came or went this decade, the following list will detail five franchises that left the industry and five that came back in full force. The latter entries' revivals give hope to the former series that they too can one day come back from the d

The Arkham series started off on a strong note with Batman: Arkham Asylum . This game toyed with the idea of an open-world formula, before its sequel ended up going all out with this conc

The short open-world nature of this title allows for a ton of character present across each and every facet of this title. Of course, it helps that A Short Hike also features numerous calming moments that truly add the cherry on top of this short yet delightful experie

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

By its own admission, Microsoft has had difficulty delivering console-exclusive games to the Xbox One on a consistent basis. At E3 2018, the company has the chance to reverse public opinion on its exclusives lineup, and if any of the rumors surrounding its lineup are true, then it may very well get the job d
