E3 leaks and rumors: Everything we've detected heretofore

(Image credit: E3)

E3 flavour is a time of big announcements and reveals, and game publishers put a great deal of endeavor into keeping their surprises confidential until the big minute arrives. Simply regardless how hard they try to keep every secret tucked away, leaks always find a means to spring forth in the days and weeks directing up to their grand events.

Are they really so bad? You may misplace out on that singular bit of pure surprise, but some leaks can actually drive pre-declaration hype to even high levels by spurring anticipation for a big game. There's a big divergence between hoping for something and having a moderate expectation (with screenshots!) that it's going to bechance, after all. Whether you live for 'em or detest them, leaks are inevitable, and 2021 has already given us a bunch of them.

With E3 (and entirely the rest of the summer's gambling events) in full swing over, here's a deal everything that's leaked before we were meant to see it.

Leaks from E3 shows indeed far

💧 Reddit game name - A Reddit poster who's leaked games in the past posted a long list of games that would be at this year's E3. Many another of them were confirmed in early showcases like the IGN Expo, and given Sir Thomas More credence by analyst Daniel Ahmad. Expect to see some of these games show up throughout E3.

💧 Back 4 Blood on Pun Pass - It sure looks wish Back 4 Stemma is coming to Game Pass at establish in Oct, based on a leaked video recording that is right away private. Microsoft testament likely deliver plenty to say about Game Snuff it during its Sunday conference. (We'll sustain to see if this means Game Pass for PC, in gain to Xbox).

💧 Yakuza 7 on Game Pass - Another Biz Pass leak! Actually... this one International Relations and Security Network't really a escape. It's a friendly media tease from Microsoft. Last year's loved Yakuza 7 is apparently forthcoming to Game Pass, too. (We'll deliver to see if this means Game Pass for PC, in addition to Xbox).

💧 Two Point Campus – The come after-skyward to Two Point Hospital appeared prematurely on the Microsoft Stock last week, and patc information technology was taken down in relatively short order, the listing was roughly lengthy enough for everyone to experience a good flavor. Two Channelis Campus will let players construct and do their own institute of higher learning, where students can enrol in courses like Horse School and Gastronomy, which will teach them to make "giant pizzas and enormous pies." Obviously IT's ready to go, so I ask to see this one made formalized during the Xbox/Bethesda display case.

💧 Marvel XCOM game – 2K Games gave us a 2-for-same leak last week, beginning with a "turn-based action game" from Firaxis, codenamed CODA and described as "XCOM with Marvel heroes." In person, I'd rather just feature XCOM, but this one might sustain a wagerer shot at building an consultation than Angular Enix's struggling Avengers halt: The source of the leak said characters testament be voiced by "famous actors," opening the threshold to the hypothesis that the game may railroad tie in with the Wonder films kinda than comics.

💧 Gearbox's Lilliputian Tina spinoff – The instant part of the 2K leak points us toward a new Borderlands game centered around Little Tina, possibly named Wonderlands. This was given credence by the discovery of "PlayWonderlands" in the source code for bechaoticgreat.com, a tormenter site for "a new adventure from Gearbox and 2K" that will be revealed tomorrow, June 10, at the Summer Game Fest Kickoff livestream.

Prepare for the divulge of a new risk from @GearboxOfficial and @2K during #SummerGameFest Kickoff Unfilmed on June 10! 🔥 https://t.co/tw2vk3KytM movie.chirrup.com/lVmqBN8b8bJune 7, 2021

💧 Final Fantasize Source – A Final Fantasy Souls-same? Positive, why not. Reportedly in development at Team Ninja, this testament—if the rumor is apodictic—be similar to Nioh, with "more accessible" gameplay than other entries in the music genre, and difficulty settings, also not a even Souls-look-alike feature. The expectation is that IT will come along during Squarely Enix's E3 show, and the hope is that it will have a new title if information technology does, if only to avoid muddiness with the 2002 release Final Fantasy Origins.

💧 Elden Ring – Will Elden Ring finally prove at E3? That's incomparable of the year's big questions, and our in-house Ringer has a good feeling about it. Roughly of that no doubt arises from a Geoff Keighley tweet alluding to shake off gamer prison (where he's apparently been trapped since not exhibit Elden Resound last year), but it's bolstered by an early May passing water of purported Elden Ring footage. It's dark and blurry, and seven seconds longitudinal, and doesn't really show us a hell of a lot of anything, but as Shaun said at the time, at least information technology's something.

Leaks for advanced in the year

💧 Halo TV series - This seems like it May be unrelated to E3, but screenshots from the Aura TV serial publication have leaked. It looks like Halo!

💧 BattleCat – BattleCat is He-Serviceman's giant feline companion. It is also, apparently, the working describ for a new competitive shooter in ontogeny at Ubisoft that will mash up factions from the Splinter Cell, Wraith Recon, and The Division series in various game modes, including one that sounds alarmingly like Sonic the Hedgehog. Contempt that, this one looks fairly solid as these things go, although the leak indicates information technology won't cost making an show at this weekend's Ubisoft Onwards event.

💧 The Division Heartland – The Part: Heartland was announced to the world on May 6. Ten days later, footage of closed beta gameplay blew out the door. It was low-set quality, but it discovered elements of the game that Ubisoft had not yet shared: It's a third-somebody overlay triggerman, leastwise one type of NPC enemies are called Pilgrims, and players can wield two guns and a battle royal weapon, and perform hedge rolls and sliding runs. For all intents and purposes it appears to personify a Part game, although as recommended away the Heartland title and key art, it takes direct in a much more rural setting than other games in the serial.

💧 Tony Monger Pro Skater – Jess Margera, drummer of CKY and brother of Bam, appeared to drop the dime bag happening a new Tony Hawk Pro Skater during a recent Behind Closed Doors podcast. CKY has a track on the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 soundtrack, and Margera said during the question that IT leave wealthy person a birdcall on "the new one coming out too." The band does not seem on the recently-released Tony Vend's Pro Skater 1 + 2 remaster, and later in the consultation Margera says his kids are already playing that game anyhow, strongly suggesting that he's talking about something else entirely—equivalent a spick-and-span Tony Huckster Affirmative Skater game.

💧 Call of Responsibility: Vanguard – The word happening Wall Street, thanks to a March leak, is that the next Call of Duty game will take us hindermost to the morally simpler glory days of World War 2. The inside information are hush up rattling fluent—Modern Warzone reported that some elements of the game are actually kick in the 1950s, possibly pointing to an alt-history setting where the war didn't end in 1945, while Eurogamer said it bequeath throw a traditional WW2 mise en scene—but combined style or another it looks like we're burr-headed back to the historic. A more modern rumor claims that IT won't appear during the E3 festivities, however, but will be revealed in an in-game Warzone issue later this year.

💧 Shin Megami Tensei 5 – This relatively recent leak came to U.S. by manner of the official Japanese Shin Megami Tensei website, which prematurely posted inside information about the upcoming game, including a release date of November 11. IT's attainable that date might only follow for Japan, and to that degree Shin Megami Tensei 5 is listed as an exclusive for the Nintendo Switch (which is why we're throwing to Persona Central for this one), but Atlus has started bringing its games to Microcomputer and so we're hopeful enough to include it in our number.

Leaked and confirmed - a special case

💧 Battlefield 2042 – The latest iteration of EA's long-running Battlefield serial leaked such that developer DICE actually ready-made a joke almost IT along Twitter. Contempt the intensity of leaks, which ran the gamut from blurry screencaps to a championship, nothing overly leading slipped out, and in the end it all proved legit: Battlefield 2042 was officially unveiled today, the opening fusillade in the looming battle for your online attending.

Understand Thomas More

It's a long list of leaks, only remember that there's just about certainly more approach. The big summer of online events gets underway in serious tomorrow with Summer Game Fest Kickoff Live, which begins at 11 am PT/2 pm ET, and big publisher showcases put on't start until Saturday. That's plenty of time for even more to slip out, and frankly I'll comprise goggle-eyed if zero else does. For the full card of all the shows on this summer, keep your eyes firmly fixed connected our E3 2021 schedule.
