10 Video Games You Can Expect At E3 2020

E3 2019 is done and dusted, but it was a show to forget. In a year marred by the absence of Sony, EA, and Activision, as well as an abundance of CGI trailers, if nothing else was evident following this year's showcase, it was that we're in the calm before the storm.

Of course, that's not to say there aren't lots of great games on the horizon, and E3 2020 should be the biggest and most bombastic since 2016.

This generation, Sony has been the undeniable king of E3 showcases; proving to all other publishers just how to pack an hour and a half with incredible games and blockbuster announcements that have us watching reaction videos for years to come. It will be great to see Sony back next year with the PS5 in tow, and a slew of unannounced games.

On top of that, Microsoft should have some big reveals - although we seem to say that every year - and Ubisoft could have a few aces up its sleeve, with Warner Bros., of all publishers, having a substantial showing.

It's VERY early days and the next year in gaming is sure to be wild and fun as heck, but we can guarantee E3 2020 is going to be special.

The PS4 generation has been Sony's best in terms of exclusive games. PS3 was more prolific, for sure, but the standard of quality Sony has boasted the past four years is unrivalled. From God of War to Uncharted IV, Days Gone to Horizon: Zero Dawn, it's clear Sony has the third-person, story-driven game down-pat.

There is, however, a pretty clear gap in Sony's portfolio; a AAA multiplayer title to rival the likes of Rainbow Six: Siege and even Halo. Great as Sony has been doing, it's no secret the publisher would like a live services title that it can milk for years to come.

Well, rumour has it Sony has set about rebooting the SOCOM series to lead its foray into said multiplayer space. We don't know who is working on it, but we do know that Guerrilla Games has been hiring for a a multiplayer title, including snatching the writer from Rainbow Six: Siege.

It has also hired devs to work on "tournaments" and "clans". Of course, that could mean a new entry in the always-reliable Killzone series, however it sounds like SOCOM, and that's a much better choice if Sony wants to penetrate the live services market. Expect a big reveal next June!
