9 "Leaked" Video Games That WON'T Be At E3 2019

7. Splinter Cell

Another E3, another year Splinter Cell fans have been left in the cold, and we can't quite seem to come to terms with the fact that Ubisoft haven't released a new game in the franchise since 2013.

Blacklist was a great return to form for the stealth franchise, but it underperformed, and gaming iconic Sam Fisher has only popped up since in a DLC expansion for Ghost Recon: Wildlands. However, that cameo was enough to get players hypothesising that the publisher could have a new entry in the works, potentially to be revealed at E3.

The fact that it was one of the few games to appear on the Walmart Canada leak last year and then not appear added fuel to the fire, as did a string of teases by developers inside Ubisoft. However, the company has said that Fisher and his green goggles won't be turning up on Ubi's stage.

But, then, if they were planning a big surprise they would say that, wouldn't they?

G*ddammit, stop getting your hopes up.
