E3 2018: Every Missing Video Game

5. The Avengers Project

Square Enix's conference was, by all accounts, a bit naff. It was more of a thirty minute presentation than an actual event, and with its main centrepiece being a Kingdom Hearts trailer already revealed the night previously at Microsoft's conference, the whole affair began, proceeded, and then ended with a whimper.

The most glaring problem with the whole thing was, however, the complete lack of information regarding The Avengers Project. Announced back in 2016 with a nifty looking CG trailer, Marvel revealed that they were collaborating with the publisher to develop several projects based on Marvel characters. The two studios said to be involved were Eidos Montreal and Crystal Dynamics, and with rumours surrounding the project having hotted up prior to the conference, fans were expecting - at the least - another trailer.

Instead, Captain America, Iron Man or Thor were nowhere to be found. Square opted to not even acknowledge the project either, leaving gamers scratching their heads as to when the Avengers - and indeed the rumoured Guardians of the Galaxy game - will finally be announced.
