Ok people, E3 is just 1 month away now and some big names are scheduled to make an appearance. Regrettably, Sony will not be making an appearance as far as we know.
As is tradition, I think it will be fun to speculate what might get announced. Or just list off some of your long shot dream announcements.
I'm 99% sure we will see a new Monolith Soft game. Yasunori Mitsuda recently wrapped up a big recording session and the last time he did that, it was right before Xenoblade 2 was announced. I think this new game will likely be another Xenoblade sequel or their long rumored new IP.
I give a Nintendo Switch Pro announcement 50/50 odds right now due to the chip shortage. Nintendo may not be able to produce enough units and might delay the announcement. With that Bloomberg report a while back, I think there is sufficient evidence to say a Switch revision is definitely in the works.
There may be a surprise console related announcement by Valve given some recent comments by Gabe Newell. Half-Life 3 confirmed?
As far as long shots go, I'd love to see a new Darkstalkers game from Capcom. I'm really shooting for the moon here but Darkstalkers vs Killer Instinct is something I've always wanted to see. And speaking of vs games, where is the Tekken x Street Fighter game I was promised over a decade ago? Namco needs to get cracking on that.
What are your E3 hopes and predictions?
