- E3 2019 games every game confirmed - 13 June 2019
They just keep coming don’t they? A lot of games were announced at E3 2019, things that we didn’t know about, as well as stuff that’s previously announced, or expansions to already released games. Now, to the casual outsider, what we’re doing might seem absolutely nuts, but we thought we’d put together an alphabetical list of all the PC games that have been confirmed to appear at this year’s E3 show. With well over a hundred of them now in the books, the next year or so looks packed. (more…)

Oh dear god, there’s a lot of games announced at E3 2019. A lot of new things that we didn’t know about as well, especially coming out of Microsoft’s conference.

A new Baldur’s Gate! That’s a big surprise if I’ve ever seen one. But what if sequels to classic RPGs are not your thing? Well there will be lots of other games, though the big companies will shout the loudest. That doesn’t seem fair as even smaller games deserve some time in the spotlight, because with enough eyes, they could rise to prominence. Then there’s those that have been rumoured, but may not appear. With over 50 games already confirmed to be at the show, we thought we’d put together an alphabetical list of games that have been confirmed to appear at this year’s E3 show. (more…)

That doesn’t seem fair as even smaller games deserve some time in the spotlight, because with enough eyes, they could rise to prominence. Then there’s those that have been rumoured, but may not appear. With nearly 50 games already confirmed to be at the show, we thought we’d put together an alphabetical list of games that have been confirmed to appear at this year’s E3 show. (more…)
