E3 2018: 10 Leaked Sequels That Must Come True
6. SOCOM: Coalition
Fans of the humble tactical shooter have been left somewhat shortchanged in recent years, as companies switch to multiplayer models and - sigh - the Battle Royale genre. Ghost Recon: Wildlands was about as close as console gamers got close to an immersive military experience, though playing it without friends made it lose appeal particularly quick.
Referenced in yet another one of those 'leaked' conference sheets detailing Sony's E3 plans, the next entry in the series is said to be called SOCOM: Coaltion. Whether or not that means we'll get the chance to play with different units, forces, or whatever else is anyone's guess, but SOCOM would be an interesting surprise to unveil at this year's convention - particularly so, given the shooter-heavy nature of the event.
It's a niche worth tapping into though. SOCOM had a faithful fanbase in the years it was active, and though reigniting this particular PlayStation exclusive might not make the most of sense on the surface, it could pay dividends given the appropriate treatment.
