　　Now Playing: New Xbox Project Scarlett Reveal Trailer | Microsoft Press Conference E3 2019

　　

Elden Ring Is Real

What would have been the biggest game reveal was leaked ahead of time but was notable nonetheless: Elden Ring is a collaboration between From Software and George RR Martin. From is best known for Dark Souls--which seems to have inspired Elden Ring heavily--Bloodborne, and Sekiro, while Martin is the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the basis for Game of Thrones. We don't know much yet about the game, but it will be open-world.

　　

Four-Player Competitive Multiplayer Game From Ninja Theory

Developer Ninja Theory, which was snatched under Xbox Game Studios' wing in June 2018, has announced a new, melee combat-focused game. Bleeding Edge is 4v4, competitive multiplayer game in a similar vein as Ubisoft's For Honor. Rahni Tucker, who was DmC: Devil May Cry's director of combat, serves as the project's creative director. A technical alpha starts on June 27 and signs up are happening now.

　　

Finally, A New Battletoads

We finally saw Battletoads on Microsoft's E3 2019 stage. Much like the original, this new Battletoads will be played from a 2D perspective but with a more stylized look. While the game will land on Xbox Game Pass at launch, no release date has been confirmed as of yet.

　　

Cyberpunk 2077 Gets Official Release Date

CD Projekt Red's stylish first-person shooter, Cyberpunk 2077, now has a release date. The open-world, sci-fi adventure from The Witcher developers will land on consoles and PC on April 16, 2020. Prolific action star Keanu Reeves will appear in the game as "legendary rockerboy" Johnny Silverhand, though his role in the story remains a mystery. Pre-orders are available now, and the game comes with a swanky Collector's edition, which includes a cool-looking box, a 10-inch statue of the game's main character, a steelbook, an art book, and more.

　　

Double Fine Joins Xbox Game Studios

Zany developer Double Fine Productions has announced an acquisition by Microsoft's Xbox Game Studios. Immediately following the announcement, president and CEO Tim Schafer hopped up on stage to show off a new Psychonauts 2 gameplay trailer. To assuage concerns about Double Fine selling out, Schafer posted a separate YouTube video in which he confirms all prior commitments will be fulfilled. "Nothing about us is going to change at all," Schafer said.
