E3 2017 game reveals and announcements
EA opened this year's show with a solid selection of games. The crown jewel was undoubtedly Anthem, the all-new IP from BioWare. Taking place in a mysterious, post-apocalyptic world, this upcoming RPG looks to be something special. A full gameplay reveal is coming during Microsoft's E3 briefing tomorrow.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 also received an extensive new gameplay trailer, alongside confirmation that all post-launch content will be absolutely free. FIFA 18 and Madden NFL 18 filled the yearly sporting quota, each receiving new trailers and gameplay details on The Journey and Longshot story modes.
Indie darlings also received plenty of attention with A Way Out finally being revealed. Developed by the minds behind Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, this adventure can only be played with two players either on the same couch or online. It looks fantastic, and a nice change of pace from EA's usual catalogue of titles.
Microsoft finally revealed the Xbox One X, which had previously been codenamed Xbox Scorpio. The console boasts a sleek grey design; in fact, Microsoft says it's the smallest Xbox ever.
Players can expect a 6-teraflop GPU clocked at 1.172GHz that's capable of handling 4K-resolution gaming. It's set to launch globally on November 7, 2017, with Microsoft confirming that 42 games would available for the console – 22 of which will be exclusive.
Bethesda wrapped up Sunday with its presentation . In a short-but-insane whistlestop tour, the wraps were finally taken off The Evil Within 2 and Wolfenstein :The New Colossus . These two highly anticipated games will be coming out this year – which was a bit of a surprise, but welcome news nonetheless.
Elsewhere, we were shown the Doom VFR VR game and Fallout 4 VR, neither of which have release dates. DLC for Dishonored 2 was also unveiled along with Skyrim for the Nintendo Switch.
Kicking off Monday, the PC Gaming Show revealed a few announcements, the most exciting of which were Age if Empires: definitive Edition and new DLC for XCOM 2
Ubisoft had a brilliant showing this year, with its biggest announcement being the long-awaited reveal of Beyond Good and Evil 2. We also saw a trailer of The Crew 2and an additional peek at Assassin's Creed Origins. Other titles shown off include Transference and pirate multiplayer game Skull and Bones.
Sony put on a pretty impressive display this year, although it didn't quite have the 'wow' factor of 2016. God of War, Detroit :Become Human and Days Gone all received new gameplay demos and loose release windows. Insomniac Games' Spider-Man stole the show with a visually stunning performance. Our personal favourite announcement has to be Bluepoint Games' Shadow of the Colossus remake. Oh, and Monster Hunter is finally coming to PS4!
Nintendo showed a strong hand this year, revealing two new DLC packs for Breath of Wild , as well as a new game called Super Mario Odyssey that’s set for release in October. Nintendo also confirmed that Game Freak is working on a proper Pokemon RPG for the Switch, and revealed that we’d also see a cross-platform Rocket League port on the handheld console this holiday season too.
