Everything was in place. With Sony choosing not to participate in E3 this year and talk of the next generation of consoles ramping up, the stars had aligned perfectly for Microsoft. They would be the show of E3 that everyone wanted to see and they would be able to kick off the week in a big way. They were even talking it up to be this “show to beat all other shows.” Unfortunately they didn’t do that and treated this year’s conference like any other one.

The Gears of War franchise is one of the most important ones that Xbox has, so it’s presentation at E3 this year is a bit disappointing.

First announced under just a code name, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot took to the Xbox stage today to give us a better look at just what the game is. We’ll be playing through the story of the classic anime series with Goku as our main character it seems. Hopefully there’s some deep and fun gameplay to it because there’s already a lot of Dragon Ball Z games where we play through the story of the anime. It looks real pretty and accurate to the anime though, so that’s a plus. It releases next year.

It’s been some time since we got a Lego Star Wars game, so it’s only fitting that we get one more after the final movie in the Skywalker releases. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will let us play through all nine of the movies in one new game when it releases next year.

After many rumors and leaks, the From Software and George R. R. Martin collaboration Elden Ring was finally announced at the Xbox press conference. We only got a CG trailer showcasing some cool visuals with some narration in the background, so there’s not much to take away from it. But with From Software and GRRM working on this game, there’s plenty to be excited about already.

Did you ask for mayhem? Because Borderlands 3 brought it in spades with a new trailer showcasing the new vault hunters and their many abilities. The trailer’s explosive and insane, everything that you would expect from a Borderlands game. Thankfully we don’t have to wait too long for it to come since the game is coming September 13th.

Forza Horizon 4 returned to the Xbox stage during today to reveal an absolutely bizarre, yet charming and silly Lego Speed Champions expansion. The expansion adds Lego vehicles and courses for you to drive on. It all looks like a blast to play. The expansion releases this Thursday, June 13.

Zombie parkour game Dying Light 2 returned to E3 this year with a brand new trailer and the game continues to look pretty cool. The most surprising thing from the trailer though is the reveal of who our protagonist might be and the fact that they’re infected. Is their infection similar to our character’s from the first game or is it something more drastic? We’ll have to wait some time to find out. Dying Light 2 comes out next Spring.

Perhaps one of the most interesting games to be shown during the Xbox press conference today was Annapurna’s 12 Minutes. It’s an interactive thriller where you play as a guy who’s stuck in a time loop. It looks really cool and I would love to see more from this game.

Microsoft brought out Double Fine Productions creator Tim Schafer to announce that the company is now part of Microsoft Game Studios, but to also reveal the first look at Psychonauts 2 gameplay. I’ve never played the original, but it looks just as fun and goofy as the first game did.
