E3 2017: 10 Major Reveals & Announcements We Need To See
We know what's confirmed, what about the rest?
As E3 grows closer, the battle between Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo officially begins to heat up, the hype for potential releases from everybody's favourite developers and publishers increasingly tenfold by the day.
Thousand will be in attendance (this year is the first time the show has been open to the public) with each one of them ready to be surprised by what should be the greatest gaming announcements of 2017. There's also the small matter of just how much premiere technology will be displayed through new graphical rendering techniques, intense gameplay, characterful debuts and lifelike animations, too. This is the debut of the Xbox Scorpio, after all.
Despite fantastic games that we know will be shown such as Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Spider-Man, there are other titles and news that people have been anticipating for the past year (fuelled by hints scattered across the past few months), that are guaranteed to be spectacular if announced.
Developers such as Blizzard, Bethesda, Nintendo, Rockstar, From Software and Square Enix are all in attendance, promising us the best they have to offer, so let's discuss what will surely be the hottest potential reveals of the event.
10. Assassin's Creed Origins Is A Full Reboot
Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed has taken us on many journeys throughout history, allowing us to experience arguably the most important historical events to date - albeit manipulated by assassins and templars. Every entry in the series has left an impact on the gaming community, be it good or bad, and has caused Ubisoft to set a precedent for games aspiring to be considered well made and original.
The premise is amazing, and has been critically acclaimed many times, though as time goes on, people are beginning to dislike the slow repetitive storylines from previous games, and the formula that made the series so beloved feels tired and old.
Rumours hint at a much distanced prequel/reboot for Assassin's Creed: Origins. This seems like a perfect way to capture people's attention, and gives Ubisoft a chance to create a fresh take on a great franchise, creating an experience that feels as amazing as the original, while maintaining the standards gamers have grown to expect.
