Western release window announced
Catherine: Full Body will launch on PlayStation 4 in 2019 here in the West, Atlus has confirmed via a new E3 trailer.

You can't flip a switch
Depending on where you look, Hideo Kojima is getting ripped today. Death Stranding got its first gameplay demonstration during Sony’s E3 2018 press conference, and it looked early – I agree.

Guide Fallout 76 - Everything We Know So Far
Release date, platforms, power armor edition
During its E3 2018 press conference, Bethesda blew the next entry in the Fallout franchise wide open.

Battle bust
An E3 2018 story so predictable we could have penned it ten days ago and published it when it was confirmed: Fortnite will not feature cross-console play on the PlayStation 4 as Sony doesn’t allow it.

E3 2018 God Knows What's Going on in Death Stranding Anymore
Just enjoy the journey
As promised, Hideo Kojima brought a lengthy new look at Death Stranding to E3 2018, and it confused everyone.

Exactly what your objective in Death Stranding is remains unclear at...

E3 2018 Destiny 2: Forsaken Trailer Drops a Bit of a Bombshell
Bang

E3 2018 Valkyria Chronicles 4 Gets a Short but Sweet Overview Trailer
Wartime
As a part of SEGA's E3 2018 push, Valkyria Chronicles 4 has a slick new trailer. It's not all that long, but it does show some English gameplay while it presents an overview of the tactical title as a whole. Valkyria Chronicles 4 still has a vague "Fall 2018" release window, so we have to imagine that we'll get a concrete date very soon.
E3 2018 SoulCalibur VI Release Date Carved into October This Year

Missing in action
After the Walmart Canada leak, we thought it was a sure thing, but there was no sign of Splinter Cell at Ubisoft’s E3 2018 press conference tonight. It means either the game’s not happening, or it will put in an appearance at Sony’s briefing later on – but we’ve alrea

Guide What Time Is Ubisoft's E3 2018 Press Conference?
And what to expect
As we know, Ubisoft is returning to E3 this year with another press conference.

Release date, setting, and platform
Bethesda officially announced The Elder Scrolls VI during its E3 2018 press conference with a very brief trailer.

E3 2018 Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Bucks the Trend with a Traditional Season Pass
Will include 12 multiplayer maps
With many other titles in the FPS space ditching the route of a paid Season Pass to access post-launch DLC, it was thought that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 may go along with this trend too.

E3 2018 The Quiet Man Makes Some Noise on PS4
Louder
Our mother always used to tells us: it’s the quiet ones you want to watch out for.
