As the days tick by, E3 2019 gets closer. Even though Sony has decided to forgo a press conference this year, plenty of other companies will be putting on a presentation to announce what games are coming in 2019 and beyond.

Microsoft has a big show planned, and there are rumors the company will reveal its next-gen Xbox console. Which isn’t to say Microsoft is completely ignoring the Xbox One. On the contrary, quite a few of the games already confirmed to be at E3 2019 will be making their way onto Xbox One. We’ve compiled the full list below, and will continue to update it as additional titles are announced prior to and during E3.

Other than it’s rumored next-gen console, Microsoft’s biggest planned E3 presentation (based solely on what’s been announced) is Halo Infinite. The sixth mainline game in the franchise, Halo Infinite was first teased during E3 2018. A year later, Halo Infinite game director Chris Lee is scheduled to discuss more details about the game during E3 2019. Little is currently known about what Lee plans on discussing, but 343 Industries boss Bonnie Ross has teased one of the topics will be Halo Infinite’s use of the studio’s new SlipSpace engine and what it’s capable of from a technical standpoint. Halo Infinite has been described as a “spiritual reboot” to the Halo series. The game might have more RPG mechanics than its predecessors too, and its multiplayer and single-player may release separately.

Though they haven’t been confirmed for E3 2019, several other Xbox One console exclusives could show up during the show. Gears 5, Battletoads, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Sea of Solitude, Session, and Tunic (all of which were showcased during E3 2018) are all scheduled to release in 2019. Chances are some–if not all–will be at E3 this year.

Even if none of those games show up at E3 this year though, plenty of other games coming to Xbox One are. Some, like Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Ubisoft’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint, are already scheduled to release this year, so chances are we’re getting gameplay trailers. Others, like Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty, still haven’t even been officially revealed, so chances are E3 will be used to announce them.

Next-generation consoles from Microsoft and Sony are coming, and Capcom says it is prepared in at least one way. One potential development issue when moving from one generation of consoles to the next can be related to game engines, or the tools used to make games.

Capcom’s proprietary engine, the RE Engine that is used for the Resident Evil games, was specifically designed from early on to be able to be tweaked for new consoles, management said during a recent earnings report. As such, Capcom sees its engine as one of its strengths heading into the new wave of systems.

“The games we developed using the RE Engine during this current hardware generation have received critical acclaim, and from the early stages of building this engine, we kept the ability to augment it for next-generation development in mind; as such, we view the RE Engine as one of our strengths that will contribute to next-generation game creation,” management said.

As one of the biggest publishers in the world, and one that has a close relationship with Microsoft with the Dead Rising series, it seems likely that Capcom would be among those companies who are briefed on next-generation plans ahead of time.

Microsoft is expected to announce at least one next-generation console at E3 in June. You can read GameSpot’s breakdown of the new Xbox console rumors here to find out more. Sony, meanwhile, will not be at E3, but the company has already shared the first details of the PS5. For its part, Nintendo is rumored to be working on new consoles but it won’t announce them at E3.

One company that has created a new game engine recently is Microsoft. The Halo team created a brand-new engine called Slipspace that is powering the ambitious Xbox One and PC game Halo Infinite. According to a report, Microsoft might have spent around $500 million to develop Halo Infinite, a figure that also includes the cost of creating the Slipspace engine.
