E3 2019 is around the corner, and there are plenty of game announcements to look forward to - but which games should people expect to see? Sony might be sitting at home, but other developers have stepped up and are promising bigger and better shows than ever.

There are some companies that have already revealed their E3 lineup, such as EA, while others have said practically nothing about their schedule, like Nintendo. It's impossible for the gaming world too have any kind of event without leaks happening from all corners of the Internet, so some of the big announcements have already been spoiled online, or at least they will have been when they are confirmed to be legit when the show takes place.

The upcoming E3 show has a jacked roster that is filled with some of the most highly-anticipated video games of all time. Screen Rant is here to provide you with the information concerning the games that will definitely be appearing at the event, as well as sharing the rumors and speculation about other titles that could be revealed.

EA PLAY



The first big conference at E3 will be held before the event in the form of EA Play, which will have several consecutive livestreams.

  • EA Play will open with a stream about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which is an upcoming action-adventure game that tells the story of Cal Kestis - a Padawan who managed to escape Order 66 and must now survive in a galaxy that has turned hostile to the Jedi Order.

  • The second livestream will focus on Apex Legends and the content associated with its Season 2 Battle Pass. Apex Legends has seen a huge drop in its player base, which means that the developers will need to win the audience back with an impressive range of new content for the game.

  • EA will also be showing off some of their upcoming sports games on its streams, with FIFA 20 and Madden NFL 20 both being part of EA Play. Not every game shown during EA Play will be an upcoming title, as Battlefield V (released in 2018) and The Sims 4 (released in 2014) will both feature streams that will discuss new DLC content for the games.



MICROSOFT



Microsoft recently revealed that 14 Xbox Game Studio titles will be shown at E3 2019, but as of right now there are only three games confirmed to be at the event.

  • Gears 5 is the upcoming sequel to Gears of War 4 and will focus on Kait Diaz, with the members of the Fenix family taking a backseat to her journey to discover the origins of the Locust.

  • Halo Infinite is next game in the Halo series. It will focus on Master Chief and has been referred to as a spiritual reboot of the series.

  • Halo: The Master Chief Collection is also being shown at E3, which will likely involve an announcement for the PC version of the game.

  • One game that is rumored to be appearing at Microsoft's conference is Fable 4, which would be the first new game in the series since 2010.

  • Minecraft Earth is an upcoming ARG mobile game that will bring Minecraft into the real world, which is a strong candidate for appearing during Microsoft's E3 conference.

  • There are games that have been announced by Microsoft at previous events that could also make an appearance, such as Battletoads, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Gears Pop!, and Gears Tactics.

  • CD Projekt Red is hosting a conference during the E3 Coliseum portion of the event but it had previously shown footage of the highly-anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 during the 2018 Xbox E3 pre-show. Cyberpunk 2077 is the company's next big game and is promising to be a huge open-world RPG adventure in a grim science fiction setting.

  • Great Rune is the name of a rumored collaboration between Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin and FromSoftware, which is said to be a dark fantasy game that is inspired by Norse mythology. There are rumors that the game is going to be announced during the Microsoft conference.



There are also the newly acquired studios that were purchased by Microsoft in 2018 to consider, which means that The Outer Worlds and Wasteland 3 are strong candidates to appear during the Microsoft conference as well. The Outer Worlds is a massive RPG set in a science fiction universe where the main character must explore a colony at the edge of the galaxy. Wasteland 3 is the next game in the Wasteland series, which combines a similar setting to the Fallout series with fast-paced tactical RPG battles.

BETHESDA SOFTWORKS



The only game confirmed to be appearing at Bethesda's E3 conference is Doom Eternal, which will be the fifth game in the Doom series and is promising to double the number of demon types that the player can slaughter.

There are two upcoming Wolfenstein games that are likely to appear at E3. Wolfenstein: Youngblood is an upcoming first-person shooter that is set in an alternate universe where World War II is still going on during the '80s and the daughters of B.J. Blazkowicz have to journey to Nazi-occupied Paris in order to save their father. Then there's Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot, an upcoming VR game and is set around the same time as Wolfenstein: Youngblood and follows a member of the French Resistance.

Todd Howard has confirmed that neither Starfield nor The Elder Scrolls VI will be appearing at E3 2019, but Bethesda is in dire need of some good publicity following a year of Fallout 76 fallout, so it's possible that these two highly-anticipated RPGs will appear during the conference in some form.

PC GAMING SHOW



PC Gamer magazine has been hosting an event at E3 for the past few years that focuses on PC games, and they're not planning on skipping 2019 as they've already dated their event.

  • The biggest developer to appear during this event is Epic Games, which means that any new Fortnite announcements would likely be made here.

  • Paradox Interactive is also one of the developers slated for the PC Gaming Show, which means that more footage of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 will likely be shown. New information about the game has slowly leaked out recently in the form of clan reveals, but there hasn't been much gameplay footage shown... yet.

  • Annapurna Interactive will be part of the PC Gaming Show, so it's possible that Telling Lies will appear. Telling Lies is an upcoming FMV game where the player has to watch one side of a video call conversations from four different characters in order to work out why they were placed under surveillance.

  • Planet Zoo is an upcoming spiritual successor to Zoo Tycoon that is being developed by Frontier Developments and is due to appear at E3. Frontier Developments is confirmed to be one of the developers appearing during the PC Gaming Show.

  • Rebellion Developments is due to appear during the PC Gaming Show, which means that the long-awaited Evil Genius 2 might make an appearance. Evil Genius 2 is a strategy game where the player takes on the role of a Bond-style villain and has to balance taking over the world with dealing with pesky secret agents.
