In typical fashion, the pre-E3 leaks continue, but this time with publisher Bandai Namco’s upcoming new Tales game. Titled Tales of Arise, the game was leaked via screenshots showing a silver-haired protagonist adorned in armor fighting fantastical beasts and exploring a large open landscape. The images can be found below.

The Tales of Arise leak was first discovered on 4chan but was since reposted on Resetera. The leak comes amid several other leaks from Bandai Namco, which includes Ni No Kuni Remastered and the previously rumored collaboration between famed fantasy author George R.R. Martin and From Software, which appears to be called Elden Ring.

No platforms have been indicated, but it’s more than likely the game will launch on PS4, Xbox One, and PC–similar to the most recent entries in the series. If Tales of Arise is, in fact, going to appear at E3 2019, we’re bound to hear about it during any of the upcoming E3 press conferences. For a full schedule of each, check out full E3 press conference schedule detailing when companies like Nintendo, Microsoft, and Square Enix are going to show off their biggest games.

In a series of pre-E3 2019 leaks involving publisher Bandai Namco’s lineup, a remaster of Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch has leaked. According to Direct-Feed Games on Twitter, “Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered is coming to PS4 and Xbox One in Fall 2019.” Direct-Feed Games also noted that Ni no Kuni would be coming to Nintendo Switch in Fall 2019, according to the leak, though it appears that may not be a remastered version.

This leak comes on the heels of several others, all from publisher Bandai Namco. One is the previously rumored collaboration between A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) author George R.R. Martin and From Software, apparently called Elden Ring. The other is a new entry in the Tales of series, Tales of Arise.

The first Ni no Kuni originally released on PS3 in 2013 in the West and is known for its animation by the renowned Studio Ghibli.

It’s unclear when all of this news was intended to be announced. The From Software project was rumored to be slated for Microsoft’s E3 press conference on Sunday; that seems like the most likely event given that Sony is not at E3. We should know more soon–check out when everything is coming in our E3 press conference schedule.

As E3 2019 gets closer, the leaks just keep coming. The latest is a big one, confirming the rumored collaboration between From Software (Dark Souls, Sekiro) and George RR Martin, the author of the A Song of Ice and Fire series upon which Game of Thrones is based. This new leak suggests the game is called Elden Ring, and the first artwork from it has been published online. Here’s what we know before its official announcement.

According to Daniel “ZhugeEX” Ahmed, who maintains a reputation for reliably confirming leaked information prior to its official confirmation, Elden Ring is a “new world created by Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R. R. Martin” that is coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Miyazaki is best known for his work as president of From Software, where he’s developed Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro.

While details on what the game will consist of were not leaked, we do have a leaked image of what appears to be a teaser or key art. Take a look below.

Earlier rumors involving Elden Ring (previously identified as GR or Great Rune) described the game as an open-world experience where you explore various kingdoms. Killing the rulers behind each kingdom allows you to unlock their abilities or supernatural powers.

The above image supports this rumor by depicting one giant ring of light encompassing several smaller rings, which looks a lot like one circular crown surrounding several smaller ones. There appears to be a pool of energy at the top of the image that drips down in a straight line to the larger ring, perhaps even drawing additional energy from the smaller rings it must pass through. Perhaps Elden Ring sees your hero drawing power from some mysterious source, only to amplify that power in different ways from the other rulers. Although this is speculation on our part, it would certainly fit with From Software’s storytelling, as a similar backstory is used for Dark Souls III‘s High Lord Wolnir–a king who traveled the lands and drew power from the kingdoms he ground into dust.

The rumors state that Elden Ring has been in development for three years, making it one of the two games From Software began working on after Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The game is supposedly being officially revealed during Microsoft’s E3 2019 press conference, where the company is rumored to debut the next-generation Xbox console and fourth Fable game as well. We’ll know for sure on Sunday.

This Elden Ring leak was one of several rapid-fire leaks involving publisher Bandai Namco. In a short span of time, we also learned of a Ni no Kuni remaster and the next Tales of game, Tales of Arise.

After being rumored to release late this year, the launch window for Gears 5 has been officially confirmed. As spotted by GameSpot, one of the massive posters that traditionally surround the LA Convention Center during E3 features Gears 5, and the picture reveals the game’s release date will be this fall. We snapped a picture of the poster, which can be viewed below.

Gears 5’s release date was first hinted at via leaked box art in May 2019 (first noticed by Generation Xbox), which also listed that the game would come out this year on September 10. The box art was eventually confirmed to be real in June 2019 (via a tweet from the Gears of War account), leading to speculation that the accompanying release date leak is also real. September 10 is in the fall, so the leak is looking more and more likely to be true. We’ll have to wait and see whether Microsoft confirms that specific date during its E3 2019 press conference, though, or simply reiterates the general Fall 2019 window.

Getting a release date for Gears 5 is one of the announcements we wanted to see at E3 this year, largely because we’ve heard very little about the game since its E3 2018 reveal. We’re also hoping Xbox plans on revealing that Gears 5 has a fairly large campaign that increases the scales set by Gears of War 4. Getting a confirmation that Horde mode is returning would be nice too, as would be clarification for Gears 5 role in the growing esports scene.

Gears 5 has been confirmed to show up at E3 and is one of the 14 first-party Xbox One titles that Microsoft plans on showcasing during its press conference. Microsoft plans on going big at E3 this year, with rumors that the company press conference will showcase the next-gen Xbox console, a new From Software game featuring a story that George RR Martin consulted on, a fourth Fable game, and a whole lot more.

Gears 5 is coming to Xbox One and PC. As is the norm for Xbox One’s first-party console exclusives, the game will launch on Game Pass day one. Gears 5 stars Kate Diaz, who goes on a journey of self-discovery after the events of the previous Gears of War game.

Nintendo’s E3 2019 press conference takes the form of a pre-recorded Nintendo Direct. It’s set to be livestreamed on Tuesday, June 11, and you can watch it on GameSpot.

As per usual with Nintendo during E3, not much is known about what will be shown. We are expecting to see more from the new Animal Crossing title, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Pokemon Sword / Shield, and the Super Mario Maker 2. Bayonetta 3 has been MIA for a while now, so it’s possible PlatinumGames could reveal more information about the upcoming action-adventure game. Animal Crossing has not been explicitly confirmed for the show, and it’s not among the confirmed playable games Nintendo has, but our fingers are crossed that it does show up during the Direct.

Square Enix’s E3 2019 press conference takes place today, June 10. We’ll have a livestream of the entire event, so you can watch it alongside us. If you prefer quick text updates or can’t watch the video stream we’re liveblogging the whole thing right here.

The Tokyo-based company’s event kicks off on June 10 at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET (5 AM BST / 2 PM AET on June 11), the same time slot that Sony’s press conference would typically occupy. With no Sony at E3 this year, Square Enix has swooped in to take that coveted opportunity to showcase its own games, some of which are among the most anticipated at E3. So be sure to come back to this page to see our reactions in real-time as we cover the conference. Once it ends, we’ll put together a full roundup of the hottest news out of the event.

We don’t know the full slate of what Square Enix will highlight, but there are two games in particular that would make it a big event. We’re likely to see more from Final Fantasy VII Remake, and the publisher has confirmed the official reveal of its mysterious Marvel’s Avengers game, which recently had some details leak. The company did also tease that this year’s presentation promises “another exciting lineup of titles.”

Ubisoft’s E3 2019 press conference will be livestreamed for all to see, but if for whatever reason you can’t watch the video feed, or want a little bit of GameSpot-flavored color commentary alongside the announcement, we’ll be liveblogging the whole thing right here.

Unfortunately, Ubisoft’s ambitious pirate-action game, Skull & Bones, is skipping E3 this year as it has been delayed to April 2020. Beyond Good and Evil 2 is also a no-show this year, sadly.

However, there are plenty of other titles to look forward to from the prolific game developer and publisher. We should see a more in-depth look at Ghost Recon Breakpoint, scheduled to launch on October 4. Both Roller Champions and Watch Dogs Legion leaked prior to the conference, and it’s possible these are two of three unannounced triple-A games launching early next year. Another leak, something called Ubisoft Pass, could be detailed during the conference as well.
