E3 2018 - Microsoft Press Conference

Well Microsoft's briefing  Just wrapped up and there's a lot to get through so lets get started.


We kicked of with a trailer to a new Halo game titled Halo Infinite. It didn't show to much more
of a teaser really.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps was up next and looks gorgeous and if its anything like the first it's
going to be an arty experience.

New From Software game, Yeah. Published Activision Booo. Well its called Sekrio: Shadows Die Twice.
Set in Feudal Japan and looking as every bit intense as other From Software Games.

Weirdly Bethesda popped up with a Fallout 76 trailer (which I have to say I'm very excited for).
Fallout 76 will be 4 times the size Fallout 4,  will be set earlier than the original Fallout and
will take place in West Virginia. Country Roads and all that.
Also Fallout 4 is now on Game Pass.

A new game in the Life is Strange universe called The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit looked interesting, Also its free.

Crackdown 3 has a release date and its February 22nd
Also out on Feb 22nd is Metro Exodus and it looks grim and miserable and wonderful.

Nier Automata is getting a re-release with all its DLC.

Kingdom Hearts is on its way to Xbox for the first time with Kingdom Hearts 3, Now with more frozen.

Sea of Thieves is getting some DLC in the shape of Forsaken Shores and Cursed Sails. So grab your crew.

Battlefield 5 popped up and showed exactly the same stuff us yesterday.

Now Forza Horizon 4 is on its way October 2nd and to Game Pass on the same day and it's set in Britain, So we 
can tear about my home country wooooo.

Next we got told that Microsoft have acquired 5 new studios, those being Undead Labs, Playground Games, Ninja Theory,
Compulsion games and a new studio called The Initiative. So only time will tell what they can do with these.

Speaking of Compulsion games, We Happy Few is out of beta on August 10th

PUBGs getting some new maps and a mode called war zone. That's all we know at the mo, I expect more will be shown over  the next few days.

Tales of Vasperia will be out in the Winter.

The Division 2 was announced. Set in Washington D.C. it will be out March 15th and lets just hope its not as boring 
as the first one.

Now you can get bored with The first Division as well because its now out on Game Pass along with Elder Scrolls Online.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider which is out September 14th and apparently this will wrap up the origin story. But I can't 
see them ever being as good as the original games.

Skateboarding game Session popped up next and looks like a really decent skating game.

MMO Black Desert was shown to mild response.

DEVIL MAY CRY 5!!!! Apparently a true squeal to DMC 4  which is amazing and hope its going good.

More DLC, This time for Cuphead in the form of Cuphead: The Delicious last course, It introduces a new playable character

Tunic an adorable Zelda-Esq game developed by one guy was given some time. Its great that solo developers are being
given some major screen time.

Anime galore in Cross over fighter Jump Force, With the likes of Naruto, Dragonball Z and One Piece.

More Zombies in Dying Light 2, I couldn't give a monkeys.

Battletoads will be back in 2019, Hopefully with controller snapping difficulty.

Rico's back in Just Cause 4 on December 4th now with added tornadoes.

A Few Gears of War games popped up and kicked off with a baffling new mobile game that joins Gears and Pop Vinyl in 
a thing called Gears Pop. On its way to the PC is a tactics game called, Get this, Gears tactics. Finally a new main
series game was announced in the form of Gears 5.

Just as Phil Spencer was about to sign off he was interrupted by the world premiere of Cyberpunk 2077. Its been years since this was first announced and finally we get to see something even if it was a just a trailer at least its
something.


Well it seemed like a good year for Microsoft, So we will see what Sony and Nintendo have tomorrow and Tuesday.

Anyway Bethesda's conference starts in a few hours, So until then.
