E3 2019: Dragon Ball Z Kakarot Gameplay Shown Off

At today’s Microsoft E3 2019 press conference, Bandai Namco released our first Dragon Ball Z Kakarot gameplay look! This isn’t your standard Dragon Ball game, as this action-RPG seems to be pulling no punches (pardon the pun) when it comes to screen-filling powers and supers.

Dragon Ball Kakarot Gameplay:

No release date has been given so far, and the title itself seems to be the placeholder for now, but from what we’ve seen, this is one action-RPG fan might want to keep an eye out for.

UPDATE: The name is official, and the title is now available for pre-order. It will launch for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on January 17th, 2020. Make sure to visit our Dragon Ball Hub for all the latest DBZ game news.

E3 2019: Blair Witch Game Announced, Here’s the Terrifyingly Tense New Trailer

Today, at its E3 2019 press conference, Microsoft unveiled a brand new game regarding the Blair Witch franchise. Simply titled “Blair Witch,” it’s understandably a horror game, where light seems to play an important factor.

No word yet on whether this is exclusive to Xbox (seems to be no), and who’s developing it. But we know you’ll have a dog to help you out, and it looks creepy as hell.

Marvel’s Avengers Game Platforms Officially Revealed

Square Enix’s Avengers game, which we now know will officially be called “Marvel’s Avengers,” is officially coming to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC (Steam), and Google Stadia!

As seen on the official Marvel’s Avengers Twitter account, a picture was posted showing off the large E3 promotional banner for Marvel’s Avengers. In it, we can see which platforms the title will be hitting, and noticeably it seems that the Switch is absent from the listings. This probably shouldn’t be a surprise though if the game is targeted to be as big as many are speculating it to be it may just come down to limitation of the hardware. I wouldn’t rule out a Switch version, however as Nintendo has offered high profile titles such as Assassin Creed Odyssey on the Switch via streaming.

 

Square Enix is set to debut the first footage for Marvel’s Avenger this upcoming Monday, during the Square Enix E3 press conference.

Microsoft Is Potentially Teasing Xbox ‘Scarlet’ in Their E3 Promo

With  Xbox’s big E3 press conference is set for tomorrow, could Microsoft potentially be gearing up for an Xbox Scarlet (next-gen Xbox) reveal?

First spotted by Twitter user, C.B.K, in a set of images to help promote tje Microsoft’s E3 press conference, there are some hidden symbols as pointed out in the images below.

The words and numbers, when combined and arranged correctly ends up reading as “RGB 255350,” or “RGB 255,36,0,” which represents the color Scarlet in the color table. This also happens to be the long confirmed code-name of the next Xbox, Xbox Scarlet, which is rumored to show up at this year’s E3.

It should be noted that Microsoft pulled a similar stunt a few years ago with Project Scorpio, the code-name given to Xbox One X at the time. A few of their E3 promos had some random symbols scattered throughout them, each pointing to some reference for the X.

Guess we could be in for a really big surprise if they do indeed plan on unveiling the console this year, or perhaps they are just teasing us. We’ll find out tomorrow during the Xbox E3 conference!

Anthem Was at EA Play for 2 Minutes and No New Info Was Shared

For those playing Anthem and looking forward to something new to be announced at this year’s EA Play event, sadly, that’s not going to happen it seems.

At today’s EA Play event, Anthem Lead Producer Ben Irving took to the stage to talk about Anthem. While some fans might have gotten their hopes up that something new was going to be shared, that didn’t happen. Instead, Irving talked about the Cataclysm event, and about the PTS (Public Test Server). Check out the two-minute video below, which was the total time Anthem was mentioned during the livestream event.

When asked if there was a “future for Anthem,” Irving answered that it has a “very bright future” they (BioWare) hopes. Irving also concedes that they have some work to do with Anthem, and still believes Anthem can be “an amazing game.”

Well, there you have it, Freelancers! That two-minute bit was what we got in terms of Anthem info at this year’s EA Play event. Of course, if anything new shows up, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.

Are you disappointed with this development or were you expecting this already?

E3 2019: Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order Gameplay Revealed, Here’s Over 12 Minutes of Footage

At today’s EA Play livestream, Respawn Entertainment has finally unveiled our first look at Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order gameplay! And true to Respawn’s history, it doesn’t disappoint! On stage, Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella, and former God of War 3 Director Stig Asmussen showed off 15 minutes of pure Jedi Fallen Order gameplay.

The footage below is about three hours of progress in, which means the player has some powers built up, but nowhere near maxed out.

Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order will be available this November 15 on the PS4, Xbox One and PC.
