E3 2019 is just two weeks from now and numerous leaks and teases have begun to float on the Internet, some believable and the others outright bizarre.

However, it doesn't really diminish the excitement leading up to the big show and so every leak adds a little amount of flavour to this ongoing E3 hype every year.

However every year, there are few titles that are easy to expect and even though the game developing studios by no means try to tease their upcoming titles, fans seem to somehow know that something incredible is coming.

Here's a list of top five game announcements that you should expect during this year's E3 2019 press conference.


#1 Watch Dogs 3

It seems Ubisoft has been doing a fairly good job at keeping Watch Dogs 3 a secret, for the most part. Even then a little tidbit here and there has pretty much confirmed that Watch Dogs 3 is coming this year and is set in London-which multiple sources have confirmed, including Kotaku's very own Jason Schreirer.

According to a recent listing at Reddit, the game will let you play as a female protagonist known as Sarah - half Asian and half English, working for an anti-terrorist organization branch that deals with cybersecurity.

Watch Dogs 3' London is also supposedly a Neo London setting, in other words- Cyberpunk and let Sarah stroll around the city on a Skateboard while drawing graffitis.

Ubisoft recently confirmed that they have three unannounced games in development and none of them is Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Breakpoint which was also revealed earlier this month with an October release date.

All the other three games are supposed to be released by March 2020 and it's inevitable that one of them ain't Watch Dogs 3.

All eyes on Ubisoft's E3 2019 conference for now.

#2 Great Rune

Great Rune is codenamed as FromSoftware's upcoming open-world game, published by Namco Bandai, which is supposedly a true successor to the original Dark Souls which released way back in 2011.

Great Rune is a project in collaboration with Hidetaka Miyazaki- the President of FromSoftware and George RR Martin- the critically acclaimed Author of A Song of Ice and Fire, who most recently confirmed in his blog post that he's consulting a game out of Japan.

Great Rune is rumoured to be FromSoftware's big open world game which will also feature horseback riding this time around. The game is expected to be revealed at Microsoft's E3 2019 press conference with a Spring 2020 release window.


#3 Arkane Studio's next game

Bethesda has confirmed their usual E3 press conference will take place this year as well with the main focus being on Doom Eternal which is supposedly releasing later this year. But other than that no other big reveal has been confirmed. But a game annoucment from Arkane Studios is highly likely.

Arkane's two studios- Lyon released Dishonored 2 back in 2016 and Austin releasd Prey back in 2017 with multiple DLC's following up in the next year. In other words, it's time one of the studios of Arkane reveal what they are working on next.

According to a resetera forum back in late 2017, Arkane seems to be working on another first person AAA immersive sim which will also have multiplayer elements. This information actually comes from a job listing of the game which they posted.

The job listing was for a first person weapons artist that makes guns and guns attachments. This defintely points that Arkane Studios is working on first person shooter game.

Bethesda also notably renowed the trademark for 'The Crossing', Arkane's online shooter game which got cancelled.

With no Starfield or Elder Scrolls 6 coming at this year's E3, Arkane Studios is the only one left to cause a huge impact at Bethesda's E3 2019 conference.

#4 Ninja Theory's Sci-fi co-op game

Microsoft acquired Ninja Theory during their last year's E3 press conference. Now one year later, multiple leaks have suggested that Ninja Theory is hard at work in developing their next AAA title which is seemingly an Xbox exclusive.

This new game leaked info comes from Comicbook.com who stated that Ninja Theory is working on a Sci-fi co-op game which is scheduled for a fall 2020 release, making it a cross-generation title for the Xbox.

According to the leaked info, the game is a four-play co-op game featuring 18 levels set across six distinct locations to explore, each with their own boss fight at the end, resonating more in terms with the recent God Of War title.

The game's story takes place across different planets about a character who has left Earth. The game is rumoured to be developed using the Unreal Engine 4, the same engine which Hell Blade: Senua's Sacrifice used.

A teaser trailer during Micorosoft's E3 2019 conference seems very likely with a full big reveal coming at Gamescom later this year.


#5 Resident Evil 3: Remake

Capcom stated earlier that they planned to make Resident Evil an annual series. As exciting as it may sound, the studio has been pretty tight lipped surrounding an inevitable remake of the third part in the Resident Evil series.

Although that is defintely going to change when E3 rolls out. Devil May Cry 5 was revealed at Microsoft's E3 2018 stage so its highly possible that Capcom will be there yet again to reveal their plans for 2020 and Resident Evil 3 Remake seems to be a perfect fit.

As for Resident Evil 8, Capcom themselves confirmed quite a while ago that the game is in development, however that seems to be a next generation title as of now. Resident Evil 8 will probably be revealed at Sony's stage next year as a PS5 launch title and so all eyes are currently towards a Resident Evil 3:Remake annoucment at this year's E3.
