E3 2019

Action RPGs are one of the most enduring genres around, and now, one of the biggest game franchises in the world is going to take a crack at it. We expected Microsoft to make some kind of Minecraft announcement during its E3 2019 presentation, but few were probably expecting what was actually revealed: Minecraft Dungeons. Not much is known about Minecraft Dungeons at the moment, but the teaser Microsoft debuted today certainly tells us enough to pique our interest.

During its E3 2019 event today, Electronic Arts talked about Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, its upcoming game first detailed weeks ago. EA did things a bit different at E3 this year compared to in the past, choosing to broadcast details about its games every 30 minutes. Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order kicked things off with an exclusive new look at gameplay.

E3 2019 is nearly upon us, but though the show doesn't officially start until next week, the big announcements from major publishers and platform holders will start coming down the line this weekend. Though the number of publishers hosting press conferences at E3 has slimmed a little bit in 2019, there's still plenty to look forward to.

A couple of weeks back, leaked images of a purple Xbox One S and matching controller started making the rounds. Word at the time was that this Xbox One was a yet-unannounced Fortnite limited edition console, and now Microsoft has confirmed those rumors. Officially dubbed the Xbox One S Fortnite Battle Royale Special Edition bundle {which is quite the mouthful), this new console will launch this week and the lead the charge for Microsoft's E3 2019 deals.

E3 2019 is nearly upon us, and many companies will be kicking off the show by hosting press conferences and streaming events to make their big announcements. Google today revealed that it's getting out ahead of the crowd, scheduling a pre-E3 press conference for its streaming service, Stadia, for later this week. Google, in other words, just put the big gaming publishers on notice by scheduling its show ahead of the rest.

Larian's Divinity: Original Sin series - which so far amounts to two games - have found a lot of success as throwbacks to the golden age of computer RPGs with modern tweaks, so when the company started teasing an E3 2019 announcement with the roman numeral "III," a lot of people probably made some logical assumptions. With Divinity: Original Sin 2 turning two years old in September, E3 2019 seems like the perfect time to announce its follow-up, right?

Even though there are a couple of companies that won't be hosting their typical E3 press conferences this year, it seems Microsoft is going hard. Rumor has it that we may see the next generation of Xbox consoles officially revealed at the show, and it's a safe assumption that we'll learn more about Project xCloud, Microsoft's upcoming game streaming platform. On top of all of that speculation, Xbox chief Phil Spencer has confirmed that Microsoft will have a lot of first-party games to show off during its E3 press conference.

This year, Electronic Arts is breaking with tradition and won't be hosting a press conference at E3 2019. That doesn't mean the company will be skipping the show entirely, though - it'll still be there, but it's planning to jump into EA PLAY immediately instead of holding its typical presser first. Today, EA revealed the streaming schedule for EA PLAY, and it's a pretty packed one.

E3 2019 is going to be a big show that attracts a ton of developers and publishers from massive triple-A companies all the way down to single-man indie studios. We can apparently now add streaming companies to that list, as Netflix has confirmed that it'll be at E3 2019 to talk about video games. If you needed any additional proof that Netflix is seriously considering diving into the games industry, here it is.

Nintendo has detailed its E3 2019 schedule, and it looks an awful lot like how Nintendo did things last year. There will be Splatoon and Super Smash Bros tournaments again, along with a three-day long Treehouse Live event that will take a deep dive into the games that were revealed during the company's E3 Direct. Details about that special Nintendo Direct are definitely the most exciting part about this schedule reveal, as we now know when that Direct will go down.

We're now almost a couple of months deep into Apex Legends' first season, and a lot of people are wondering when details about the second season might start coming around the bend. As it turns out, players have a little bit longer to wait for that information. Electronic Arts has confirmed that new details about Apex Legends season 2 are the way, but they won't be here until E3 2019.

Nintendo has been enjoying a fairly positive outlook in no small part thanks to the Nintendo Switch and a few successful mobile games. That was made its rather conservative earnings guidance surprising for analysts. Almost everyone was expecting it to confirm a new and cheaper Switch as well as a launch in China, neither of which is coming any time soon. Unsurprisingly, this has left analysts and shareholders wondering if something else is afoot.
