E3 2018

Adding Watch Dogs 3 to the list of games I expect to see. Also there is a rumor that Microsoft has landed exclusive rights to market the following the games:

Cyberpunk 2077
Borderlands 3
Splinter Cell 7
Battlefield 5
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Division 2
Anthem
Madden

There's a precedent for the Tomb Raider one, since they did that with RotTR, but I don't think that worked out very well for Squenix if I recall correctly.

Yeah, the timed exclusivity thing was heavily criticized like you said, so I doubt they'd jump on for a second time.

I could see Madden (or potentially any of the EA properties) because only Xbox has EA Access, but something like Cyberpunk 2077? I really, really doubt it due to how pro-consumer CDPR seems to be.

This exclusivity is for marketing/advertising only, as in Microsoft can use these games to advertise for the Xbox hardware but Sony cannot.

Hardware marketing, or ALL marketing? I doubt there will be commercials for these games that ONLY mention Xbox.

Hardware.

Add Metro Exodus and Elder Scrolls 6 to that rumored list of games.

Supposedly Bethesda will be showing a trailer for Starfield in May with the release coming sometime in the fall or early winter. Going to be a science fiction action RPG with multiple planets to explore with colonies that you can create/populate/build.

Mortal Kombat 11 or I riot.

It'll happen. MK and Injustice alternate releases every 2 years.

MK9: 2011
Injustice: 2013
MKX: 2015
Injustice 2: 2017


Might not get announced at E3, though it probably will unless there's a major fighting game tournament happening they can announce it at first, but either way it'll be out next spring. Looks like Texas Showdown is the next major, but that's not until May 4, so if they don't announce it at E3 they'll likely announce it before Injustice 2 Grand Finals at Texas Showdown.

EDIT:

...is what I would expect too, seeing their previous track record: MK2009, Inj, MKX, Inj2, now MK11. And with Boon starting to tease it on twitter, it seems likely... but you just never know. For all we know, they're gonna do some stupid shit like DC vs MK 2.


Also, most titles have leaked/minor announced 1-2 weeks before E3, fyi.
