If your preferred system of choice is Xbox One, then you were probably pretty happy with Microsoft’s presentation at E3 2018 this past weekend. The biggest announcement was the inevitableHalosequel. You know Microsoft is never going to let that cash cow go, but it’s still nice to have the confirmation thatHalo 6, officially titledHalo: Infinite(as in, we will make an infinite amount of these games), was on the way. There’s no release date, but fans will wait patiently and probably get a better look at the game at next year’s E3.
There was also the announcement ofSekiro: Shadows Die Twice, a ninja game from the makers ofDark Souls. I am all here for a gorgeous-looking ninja game, and not here whatsoever for a game as punishingly difficult asDark Souls.
Also, for youFalloutfans out there, we got a new trailer forFallout 76, a prequel to the other games and an online game set in the hills of West Virginia. If you’re die-hard for theFalloutgames, I’m sure you’ve already put in you pre-order although there’s currently no release date yet.
But what did get my attention was a new full trailer forKingdom Hearts 3, a game I’ve been waiting for since 2006. On the one hand, the story looks ridiculously convoluted and that even playing every single game in the series beforehand may not clear things up. On the other hand, you’re going to new Disney worlds likeFrozen,a nd that looks like so much that I don’t even mind that Sora’s English-language voice actor sounds really, really bad! The game also got a June 06, 2025 release date, which is more than okay with me since I’ll be spending a lot of time playingSpider-ManandRed Dead Redemption IIin the final quarter of 2018.
