E3 might be next week, but its sheer magnitude has resulted in the past week being a big deal in its own right. Several publishers have officially debuted new AAA titles, while others have had what they thought were well-planned announcements leaked ahead of time.
In the gallery below we'll go over the biggest E3 2016 leaks and announcements so far.
E3 2016: These Are The Game Announcements Leaked So Far
-
Dead Rising 4 (Capcom)
The Leak: A small poster has found its way online ahead of the game's reveal. Although the game hasn't been confirmed by Capcom, sources say it'll be revealed during Microsoft's press conference.
rn
rnGame Description: Dead Rising 4 will be set in Williamette, Colorado. Sound familiar? That's the same, snowy locale as the first Dead Rising. It will star Frank West with a new haircut and the co-operative play that fans expect. -
Destiny: Rise of Iron (Activision)
The Leak: A description of the game found its way online only a few days ago. For Activision it wasn't a big deal as it was planning to reveal the game before E3 anyway. It has since fully detailed the game. rn rnGame Description: At $30 Destiny: Rise of Iron will add new areas, weapons, abilities, and much more. Think of it as another The Taken King. However, this time it will focus on mutants who have broken through the southern border of Old Russia. You will head to the Plaguelands to rid of the foul beasts. -
Injustice 2: Gods Among Us (Warner Bros.)
The Leak: A pre-order poster intended to be hidden until next week was released by a GameStop employee. Soon after, creator Ed Boon released a Tweet which essentially confirmed that it was real while sharing that he was upset about the leak. rn rnGame Description: Injustice: Gods Among Us was received extremely well among fighter fans who enjoy DC Comics such as Batman and Superman. It had some minor gameplay quirks and a horrible single-player campaign. Its sequel hasn't been detailed at this point but should see improvements across the board, especially given that Ed Boon is behind the game. -
Prey 2 (Bethesda)
The Leak: A website domain has been found in addition to a hidden Facebook page. Interestingly enough, the game was confirmed in 2012 but vanished from existence, likely due to development issues. A re-announcement appears to be in the cards at this E3. rn rnGame Description: The last Prey game came out in 2006. it was relatively well-received, especially for a new IP. The sequel should follow in its footsteps. -
Resident Evil 7 (Capcom)
The Leak: Resident Evil 7 has been leaked on numerous occasions, most recently by the consultant of a consultancy firm in Japan.
rn
rnGame Description: It is said that Resident Evil 7 will harken back to the series' roots, which makes sense given how unsuccessful it has been when straying from that formula. That should mean more horror elements, slower-paced gameplay, and plenty of Jill Sandwiches. -
Siren PS2 for PS4 (Project Siren)
The Leak: The game's trophies have found their way onto ExoPhase. rn rnGame Description: Siren is a horror game with a cult following. It hasn't aged particularly well, but will be a great revisit for players who want to experience nostalgia. -
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Definitive Edition (Bethesda)
The Leak: Pre-order listings of the game were found on sites such as Base.com. This followed its listing on a Brazilian ESRB, effectively confirming its existence.
rn
rnGame Description: It is expected that the Definitive Edition will include the original Skyrim experience along with all expansion packs with tweaks made to the visual presentation to take advantage of the PS4 and Xbox One hardware. Nothing is for certain at this point and we'll have to wait until Bethesda showcases its official reveal. -
Watch Dogs 2 (Ubisoft
The Leak: Twitch mistakenly introduced its commercial prior to the date Ubisoft approved. The commercial quickly found its way online confirming what was already a game expected to be announced E3 2016.
rn
rnGame Description: Watch Dogs 2 will be set in San Francisco with all the hacking and stealth elements of the first game. Ubisoft has spent a great deal of time making the world more immersive in addition to polishing gameplay mechanics.
