The E3 is right around the corner and it promises to be quite exciting for all video games lovers with all the announcements that will come during the event. As it happens every year, plenty of rumors have started circulating online, detailing possible announcements. According to one of these rumors, players will soon be able to try out some of the more anticipated games of the year.
Reddit user dieklobrille has recently revealed that Halo Wars 2 and Crackdown 3 have received tons of recent play session logs, which leads to believe that betas for these two titles could be coming soon. The same user has also revealed that a new Age of Empires game is going to be revealed soon, and something related to the Conker series might also get announced in the future.
I kept searching all night. Again - and I really want to emphasize this - I'm just sharing the interesting tidbits, tags and pages I'm finding. As already stated above I don't know what will actually appear at E3, what will appear at Gamescom or what will never appear. As an example I'm seeing tons and tons of old Phantom Dust test play session logs. We all know that game never released and is on-hold. And no, I did not find anything new regarding this one. If it's coming back, they did it with a new ID. That said, I got some requests by you guys - so here are the results.
- No relevant Banjo-Kazooie tags or connections, only older ones obviously.
- References for mouse and keyboard Support found
- I'm almost sure now on the new AoE game. Castle Siege has a different ID everywhere I found references.
- There is a chance the zombie game is just DayZ. The exact title isn't listed (only genre tags etc) which is why I can't know it for sure.
- Halo Wars 2 has tons of recent play session logs which lead me to the impression the Beta could be close.
- Same for Crackdown 3.
- Nothing for Crimson Skies, Project Gotham Racing, Jade Empire, Midtown Madness. Sry.
- There are tons of Conker tags everywhere. The problem is: I can't find all of the connected IDs. We have Conker in Rare Replay, Young Conker by Asobo, Project Spark Conker. There is a chance there is also another Conker thing hidden here somewhere, but it's really difficult to find the correct ID. So I will just say: tons of Conker things. Doesn't have to mean anything, could be though.
Coming from an anonymous source, we must take all this with a grain of salt. However, the user has proven to be somewhat reliable, as he revealed the Microsoft E3 2016 trailer before it went live. Among the information that he has revealed yesterday is that Rare is working on a new Battletoads game, but he's not sure if any of the new games he had learned about will be revealed at the E3 2016 or during Gamescom.
