There are a few other things in there as well, including one from Kinda Funny Games, but these look like the major ones to cover. The biggest change from previous years is the lack of Sony. Some people also consider the Google Stadia presentation yesterday to be a part of E3. What do you think?
Anyway, we have a few early announcements to discuss, so let’s take a look.
Early Announcements
Do you remember the RPG Citizens of Earth (which I still need to play)? It’s getting a sequel, Citizens of Space, due out for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on June 18 for $14.99.
In even more exciting news (and news from the Stadia presentation, in fact), Baldur’s Gate III has been announced for PC and Stadia. It’s being developed by Larian Studios, the developer of the Divinity games.
I played Baldur’s Gate last year, and I hope to play Baldur’s Gate II ahead of this new entry.
Next, the lighthearted RPG Work x Work for the PS4 and Switch is being localized under the name Heroland. Heroland will become available later this year.
Finally, a new Yooka-Laylee game has been announced for the PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is more a spin-off than a sequel, being a 2D platformer with a 3D overworld. It’ll get both a physical and digital release later this year.
And yes, I still need to play Yooka-Laylee.
That’s all for now, just a few announcements I wanted to take a look at ahead of E3.
Remember, our E3 coverage begins tomorrow with EA’s press conference! I typically haven’t enjoyed EA’s shows, but I’m looking forward to more information about Jedi: Fallen Order.
Are you excited for E3?
Reminder that EA doesn’t have a “press conference” to speak of.
Yeah, I learned that this morning and saw the schedule.
