E3 2018: 10 Heavily Rumoured Video Games We Want To See
Which huge rumours can we expect to see come true at E3 2018?
E3 2018 will soon be upon us, and with that comes a whole bunch of new rumours teasing upcoming titles that could debut at the conference.
Offering a huge opportunity for developers to feature their games on the industry's biggest stage, setting up a mass audience for surprises and jaw-dropping announcements is a fine art. Whilst it can suck for those reveals to be ruined by rumours prior to E3, it also helps build up hype and excitement all round. "Hype culture" can be a dangerous thing, and has tanked many more games than its benefitted, but undoubtedly fuels these conferences for many months before and after.
Some of the following rumours have been built up by industry insiders getting information about games secretly in development, whilst others come from hopeful fans predicting what developers are currently working on. The months before E3 are always when these rumours reach absolute boiling point, and that's where we come in.
Trying to choose the games most likely to appear at E3 is always a massive gamble, but speculation has always been a big part of the fun.
All aboard the hype train.
10. Animal Crossing For Switch
If there's one series (besides Pokemon) that Nintendo have failed to make relevant on console, it's Animal Crossing. With the Switch doing so well for the company, maybe it's time for that to change.
Although this many seem like completely wishful thinking to some, it isn't completely unfounded. Besides the fact that we haven't seen an Animal Crossing game since 2012, the official Animal Crossing website was recently seen getting a complete overhaul.
What better place to announce it than at E3 2018? Nintendo may be more into their own Directs lately, but that doesn't mean they don't recognise how important E3 can be. They need something other than Smash to make their presentation memorable.
With Metroid Prime 4 and the next Pokemon game looking like they aren't going to come out anytime soon, an Animal Crossing game for the Switch would be great for tiding fans over.
