I will come back and Edit this post accordingly. E3 is one of my favorite times of the year, seeing all the reveals, getting excited about new tech. I will be balls deep in this news. I will also break it down into sections.
Pre-E3 Leaks:
- Forza 5 release date has leaked thanks to france again, it will be coming out sept. 18th
- Same source has also leaked the new Tomb Raider game, November 13th
- Mirrors Edge Catalyst was leaked in a trademark filing, with EA shortl confirming the leak. It will be shown at E3 with a 2016 release. An EA rep stated that this is not a direct sequel to the original Mirrors Edge.
- Alleged leaked marketing materials have revealed more details about Destiny’s big expansion rumoured to hit in September, further adding weight to its long-rumoured name of The Taken King. The Taken King will launch September 15 for US$40. The new content will offer a new subclass and new elemental super ability for each of the three character classes. Warlocks will get an electrical storm (arc), Hunters will receive a gravity bow (void), while Titans will have a flaming hammer (solar). The expansion will introduce new Strikes, new PvP maps and, a new raid that was confirmed by Bungie in April. According to today’s leak, the new raid boss is apparently Oryx, the father of Crota’s End raid boss, Crota. Oryx heads a new class of enemies called the Taken as he seeks to strike revenge for the death of his son.
- following an earlier rumor that Dark Souls 3 would appear at E3, and later launch on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. IGN got a hold of this Picture pretty much confirming DS3
- A leak on a Sony Retail Loyalty site, which gives video games retail employees a chance to win prizes, has revealed a promotion that runs from May 14th through June 10th. What’s interesting though is the prizes listed in the promotion. As you can see in the image below, the PS4 is listed as having a retail value of $349.99 while the Vita is listed as having a retail value of $89.00. So if the price cuts were to be announced at E3, that would be a $50 price cut for the PS4 and a $110 price cut for the Playstation Vita!
