E3 2018 – Revelaciones de EA, Xbox y Bethesda
E3 está sobre nosotros una vez más, y como buitres que eligen solo los bocados más jugosos de cuerpos aún calientes, estamos aquí para ignorar la ostentación, la exageración y, a menudo, el espectáculo extraño en un esfuerzo por ofrecer las mejores revelaciones y anuncios hasta el momento. Primero: Xbox, Bethesda y EA.

la división 2
Una vez más, Microsoft y Ubisoft se han unido para traer a los fanáticos una secuela del popular The Division . Ambientado en Washington DC, The Division 2 llama a todos los agentes activos de The Division a hacer una última resistencia porque “si DC cae, América cae”. Las inscripciones beta ya están abiertas , pero el juego no se lanzará hasta el 15 de marzo de 2019 .

Sombra del Tomb Raider – Xbox One, PC, PS4
Ya sabíamos que el 14 de septiembre de 2018 , Shadow of the Tomb Raider caería, pero ahora tenemos nuestro primer vistazo a la jugabilidad. Como era de esperar, tenemos un divertido juego de acción y aventuras en camino con Lara Croft como la Tomb Raider titular, haciendo todas las cosas, incluyendo, sí, asaltar tumbas.

Sekiro: Las sombras mueren dos veces – PC, Xbox One, PS4
El último juego desarrollado por From Software con la dirección de Hidetaki Miyazaki, este juego de rol de acción nos ve en un mundo habitado por samuráis y monstruos. Esta parece ser la evolución de los juegos de Soulsborne y está prevista para 2019 , publicada en todo el mundo por Activision. Esto tiene el potencial de ser todo tipo de asombroso.

Corazones del Reino 3 – Xbox One, PS4

Luz moribunda 2 – PC, Xbox One, PS4
Techland ha contratado al escritor Chris Avellone para crear una historia convincente para la secuela de supervivencia de zombis en mundo abierto, que incluye la toma de decisiones ramificada con efectos permeantes que podrían cambiar por completo la forma en que dos personas juegan el juego. No hay fecha de lanzamiento, pero espera sustos, giros inesperados y mucho parkour cuando salga.

Battletoads : PC, Xbox One, PS4
Otra entrada sorpresa programada para 2019 , el reinicio de una serie que permaneció inactiva durante un cuarto de siglo tiene algunos detalles, pero casi nada en cuanto a jugabilidad o capturas de pantalla. Aún así, estamos seguros de que pronto habrá más información sobre el trío anfibio.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=” https://www.youtube.com/embed/-yrE9RU6DN4 ” frameborder=”0″ allow=”reproducción automática; medios cifrados” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Gears Tactics – PC
A turn-based strategy prequel to the first game, which is coming solely to PC. Very little information has been provided so far, but given the relative success of Halo Wars it seems that Microsoft are planning on expanding the lore of the Gears franchise out and hoping for a winner. You can get clicking in 2019.
Halo Infinite – Xbox, PC
We know practically nothing about this chapter of Master Chief’s story, other than it’s once again being created by 343 Industries. But here’s a pretty tech demo to whet your appetite:
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/Fmdb-KmlzD8″ frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Just Cause 4 – PC, XBox One, PS4
Strap in and get your wingsuit ready, as Nico is once again taking to the sky in a blaze of fire and carnage. Explosions! Vehicles! Aircraft! Tornadoes! Lightning! December 4, 2018!
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/T_y-EZXpuQY” frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Cyberpunk 2077 – PC, XBox One, PS4
This has got to be one of the most anticipated games of the conference! CD Projekt Red, creators of the Witcher series, have had the rights to the Cyberpunk universe for quite some time now but, while we’ve known that they were making Cyberpunk 2077, there hasn’t been a trailer or anything visual about the game until now. There is still no news on a release date.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/8X2kIfS6fb8″ frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Devil May Cry 5 – PC, Xbox One, PS4
It will have been ten years since the fourth game came out, but Nero and Dante look as cool as ever in this cross-format release. Expect it to reach our shores in Spring 2019.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/KMSGj9Y2T9Q” frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Gears of War 5 – Xbox One, PC
Kait from the fourth game is the protagonist in this Microsoft exclusive, which is also hitting PC at some point in 2019. There are lots of squelchy monsters and a full 4K world to battle them in, so all of the boxes are ticked here.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/8Y0Wdei6K5U” frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Metro Exodus – PC, Xbox One, PS4
With the same release date of February 22nd, 2019, this latest instalment in the acclaimed series is on a collision course with Anthem. Exodus looks gorgeous, and has a distinctly S.T.A.L.K.E.R. feel now that you’ve left the claustrophobic confines of the underground. Two big releases on the same day could prove problematic for initial sales for both studios, however, so we’re interested to see whether either of them blinks first and moves their launch.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/kcH-3uORzjU” frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Jump Force – TBC
Bandai Namco announced a 3v3 brawler incorporating elements of Death Note, One Piece, Dragon Ball and Naruto, and it looks utterly bonkers.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/zKg3cGVNVvo” frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Sea of Solitude – TBC
A new indie adventure from Jo-Mei Games, which has us very excited. The art style is reminiscent of the recent Rime and if Sea of Solitude is half as good as that, we’ll be very happy. We’ll have to wait until sometime in 2019 to get our hands on it, though.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/aWY76dNvXyo” frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Jedi: Fallen Order – TBC
A new single-player Star Wars game? YES PLEASE. This one will be set between episodes III and IV…but that’s about all we know. The release date is tentatively scheduled for Autumn 2019, but with nothing other than an announcement and the fact that Respawn Entertainment have been working on it for a while, patience we must have.
A new Xbox console – TBC
We couldn’t round off the Xbox segment without mentioning that a new Xbox console is in the works. According to Phil Spencer:
Our hardware team is deep into developing the next generation of Xbox consoles, where we will once again deliver on our commitment to set the benchmark for console gaming.
Will this be the last “proper” console before a future of streaming games? Will the new Xbox outclass the PS5? We have no information whatsoever and won’t expect to for at least another year.
Bethesda
Wolfenstein: Youngblood – TBA
After the success of The New Colossus, it was inevitable that we’d return to Blazkowicz’s world. What we didn’t expect was a co-op game featuring his twin daughters as the protagonists. Colour us excited for a 2019 release.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/p25P-IDMY0Q” frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Doom Eternal – TBA
Another reveal which showcased a crumbling hellscape, the sequel to DOOM’s triumphant reboot looks like it’s upping the threat level significantly. It’ll be out in 2019, but we’ll learn more during QuakeCon when it hits Dallas in August.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/_oVwrpfo_QA” frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Fallout 76 – TBA
Fallout 76 may have divided fans with its online-only framework, and there will be base-building galore which may irk others even further. However, until we get to actually play it and travel around a world four times bigger than the last entry in the series, we have no idea what to expect. That will change soon, as the release date is set for November 14, 2018.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/M9FGaan35s0″ frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Starfield – TBA
The first new IP for a quarter of a century from Bethesda, and it looks…spacey. Starfield will be a single-player RPG but otherwise we know very little. Here’s some nice lens flare, though:
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/JUobbpHERh8″ frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe>
The Elder Scrolls VI – TBA
The sixth entry in the Elder Scrolls series has been uncovered, and what we know is…there will be some mountains in it. The epitome of a teaser, but it’s nice to know Bethesda are working on it.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/OkFdqqyI8y4″ frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe>
EA
Anthem – PC, Xbox One, PS4
With Muse’s Resistance pounding in the background, BioWare’s new sci-fi IP certainly looks spectacular. However, the co-op gameplay might not scratch the itch gamers have following the rather disappointing last entry in the Mass Effect series, and the lack of romance options, PVP (at least, at launch) and the requirement to be online to play may infuriate some. That said, at least we have a release date: February 22nd, 2019.

Battlefield V – PC, Xbox One, PS4
A mere four months away, EA DICE’s latest instalment in the long-running series will be hitting PC, Xbox One and PS4 on October 19th, 2018. Expect single-player, multiplayer, and of course battle royale modes.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/ntHoiPAOVe0″ frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Madden 19 – PC, Xbox One, PS4
August 10th, 2018 is the date for Terrell Owens to make his way back onto the field, along with the Real Player Motion tech utilised in FIFA 18. The big news for PC fans is that this series will be heading to their rigs too, for the first time since 2007.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/Js04hvdVUA8″ frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe>
NBA Live 19 – Xbox One, PS4
Less than a year after its predecessor was released, EA is returning to the court on September 7th, 2018 to shoot more hoops. This one’s for consoles only, though.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/J2tMMb4rh1c” frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe>
FIFA 19 – Xbox One, PS4
Another entry in EA’s reliably predictable schedule of sports releases, this one’s for all you soccerball fans. There’s no news on Ultimate Team yet, but the story mode is coming back and EA scored a coup in obtaining the Champions League licence from PES, so this is likely to be a strong entry.
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/zX0AV6yxyrQ” frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Command & Conquer: Rivals – Mobile
We’re still waiting for a new Command & Conquer game on PC, but this mobile offering is 1v1 only which might fill a gap in the interim, even if the actual gameplay looks laughable in comparison to the trailer footage. Apparently, it stars Walter White. Get downloading on August 10th, 2018.

It’s a strong opening for Microsoft, who desperately needed to claw back ground from Sony’s PlayStation juggernaut. Yet Sony’s conference is still to come so the battle is still very much alive. Which games are you most looking forward to playing? Let us know in the comments!
