It's expected that some of the announcements coming at E3 are going to leak, but E3 2019 is looking to set a new record. Much of what's to come at the various E3 press conferences over the next few days has already been spoiled, but Friday night saw a flurry of big upcoming announcements revealed ahead of time.This particular batch concerns published Bandai Namco's E3 lineup. The most significant of the bunch is undoubtedly the new game from From Software, reportedly called Elden Ring. A new From game would be big news under any circumstances, but this one is a collaboration with George RR Martin, the author of A Song of Ice and Fire--the basis for Game of Thrones. The Elden Ring name and accompanying art are new, but even this leak concerns something that had previously surfaced online; previous reports already stated that Martin and From were working together on a new game.Bandai's other leaks concerned a Ni no Kuni remaster and a new RPG in its Tales of series called Tales of Arise. It's unclear how this occurred--the three leaks were in such rapid-fire succession that it seems as if the publisher had some kind of security issue. Whatever the particulars, Bandai Namco's Katsuhiro Harada summed things up nicely:rrrrrrrhsnsnsjdbxnajakalskdkckrjrujdnnshdbcbufuwwwtwyurtnznzmShkKj¥&/&:738/kkHHSBSJjJjjkkJsywioakdhdjjwnwsjzkkN!&382!$,€€.€|€_€€_!|!!’!%|##]^]^$$$]>]$€^]^%[#[#$’b¥¥:¥:72¥-!&^%]%][££[¥272)!’NanhdhdjskakaqiuqkqkururuwyqtqtakldfkvjwhjakakqiiN’nnsiwokHmK&¥$*]%]%[#}&kjsjdjk — Katsuhiro Harada (@Harada_TEKKEN) June 8, 2019All of this follows the very credible-looking leak of a video from Bleeding Edge, the new game from DMC: Devil May Cry and Hellblade developer Ninja Theory. And the retailer listing for Watch Dogs Legion, prompting Ubisoft to confirm the game ahead of its press conference. And Destiny 2 dataminers discovering cross-save support and a new Shadowkeep expansion that takes players back to the moon. And Baldur's Gate III, the existence of which was buried in markup code on Larian Studio's teaser website. And Death Stranding's release date, published on PlayStation Taiwan's Facebook account. And Call of Duty 2019 being a new Modern Warfare.And so on.This is to say nothing of other leaks that we're still waiting for clearer confirmation of, such as the next-gen Xbox console, Fable 4, Ubisoft Play, and Ubisoft's roller derby game. With more than a day to go before most of the press conferences get underway, there's still time for even more to leak.At this rate, don't be surprised if there's nothing left to be surprised by.Info from Gamespot.com

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.

Coming in days before both EA Play and E3 2019's assortment of press conferences, Google's latest Stadia livestream is the first of many video game-focused shows we can expect over the next week. During the stream, Google revealed new details for Stadia, including the colors and specs of the service's controllers.Connecting to the game being played via a WiFi signal (though they do have wired support via a USB port), the Stadia controller is shaped similarly to Switch's Pro controller. The Stadia controller has its two sticks side-by-side instead of offset from one another, and the d-pad is above the left stick as opposed to beneath it. Stadia's controller does come with two very different buttons, though: one to seamlessly capture gameplay and the other to summon Google Assistant.As of right now, Stadia's controller comes in four different colors. Three of the four--Just Black, Clearly White, and Wasabi--can be bought at any time. Each one costs $70 USD / £60. The fourth color, Night Blue, is limited-edition and exclusively tied to the Stadia Founder's Edition, which can be pre-ordered for $130 USD / £120. All four controllers have the same technical specs, which can be seen below.Stadia Controller Technical SpecsWi-Fi: Dual-band (2.4GHz / 5GHz) IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac connectivityBluetooth: Bluetooth Low Energy 4.2 (BLE)Headset jack: 3.5mm headset jack for headsets with or without a microphoneUSB: USB-C port for charging, wired gameplay, and accessories such as USB-C headsets.

Just before E3 2019, Google held the first ever Stadia Connect event on June 6 to reveal some of the key details we've been awaiting regarding the video game streaming service. The service will launch this November in a limited capacity and expand next year with a two-tiered strategy. One of these tiers includes a subscription, but what is it and what does it include?The subscription plan is called Stadia Pro, and it will cost $10 per month. It includes access to a selection of free games, discounts on full game purchases, and all games will run in 4K at 60fps with 5.1 surround sound. The only announced free game so far is full access to Destiny 2 with all of its add-ons, including the upcoming Shadowkeep expansion. Google hasn't detailed how many games will be included with a subscription at launch, or how often new games will be added.At launch, Stadia access will only be available by purchasing the Founder's Edition. This comes with a three-month subscription Stadia Pro, which will become available to buy separately at a later date. The Founder's Edition also includes a Buddy Pass that gifts three months to a friend, a Chromecast Ultra, and a limited-edition controller. The Founder's Edition will cost $130.Pre-order Stadia Founder's Edition now »A Stadia Pro subscription will be the only way to play Stadia at first, but not forever. A separate Stadia Base service will launch in 2020. That service will be free, but all games will have to be purchased a la carte. The resolution and sound quality will be slightly diminished too, at a max of 1080p and stereo sound. It won't include a Chromecast Ultra, but you can play on any Chrome browser or a Pixel 3 or 3a phone.For more details on Google Stadia, check out what we learned about pricing, release date, and more, including its game lineup.

Google shared a wealth of new information about its upcoming cloud gaming platform, Stadia, during its inaugural Stadia Connect presentation on June 6, just ahead of E3 2019. In addition to revealing pricing details, the company showcased a few of the games coming to the service, including a new exclusive title from Rime developer Tequila Works called Gylt.Billed as a "haunting single player puzzle adventure game," Gylt places players in the role of a young girl named Sally, who must explore an unsettling world in search of her missing cousin, Emily. Few other details about the game were revealed, but we did get a look at its atmospheric gameplay in the trailer below.Gylt wasn't the only game Google showcased during the Stadia Connect broadcast. The company also confirmed that Ubisoft's recently announced open-world shooter, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, is coming to the platform, as are two fighting games and the rumored Baldur's Gate 3. Destiny 2 will also be available on Stadia along with all of its content and new Shadowkeep expansion. The Stadia version will let you import your Destiny 2 character saves.There were many more announcements from the Stadia Connect broadcast. Google also revealed the Stadia Founder's Edition, which will launch this November for $130. The Founder's Edition will be the only way to play Stadia at launch, but there will also be a Stadia Pro subscription that gives you access to a library of games, as well as a free version called Stadia Base--although that won't be available until next year.Info from Gamespot.com

Destiny 2 is getting something players have asked for since the release of the game's PC version in 2017. This fall with the release of the Shadowkeep expansion, Destiny 2 will offer cross-saves across all platforms, allowing you to play your Destiny character anywhere.The announcement first came on Google's Stadia Connect livestream, where Google has finally provided some concrete details about what we can expect from Stadia, its upcoming cloud-based gaming service. Google revealed Stadia's price and release window, as well as the list of games launching on the platform day one. One of those games is Destiny 2, and Google confirmed you'll be able to transfer your previous saves to Stadia.Google's stream left off one key detail: whether PS4 players would have access to cross-save. But during its livestream, Bungie confirmed that all Destiny 2 platforms would include the capability: Xbox One, PC, Stadia, and PS4.Meanwhile, Bungie's partnership with Stadia means you'll be able to play the game in any Chrome browser and on a host of other devices. If you choose to pre-order the Stadia Founder's Edition, you'll get some exclusive perks--including a three-month subscription to Stadia Pro. Among Stadia Pro's benefits is a limited-time offer for Destiny 2. All Stadia Pro subscribers will be able to access the entire Destiny 2 experience (the main game, all previous add-ons, the annual pass, and Shadowkeep) on the day the cloud-based gaming service launches.With Stadia Pro, you also get a few more benefits, including 4K HDR video at 60fps for streaming, a free offering of select games, and a discount on all game purchases. Other than the Stadia Pro subscription, the Founder's Edition also comes with a limited-edition controller, Chromecast Ultra, and a three-month Buddy Pass that you can give to a friend so that they can play games with you. The Founder's Edition is scheduled to release sometime in November 2019, with the basic Stadia experience (which doesn't have all the extra bells and whistles but is free) releasing in 2020.Info from Gamespot.com

While Google's upcoming Stadia game streaming service is packed with many of today's biggest games, there's still plenty of fun indie-like experiences as well. A notable one, in particular, announced during Google's Stadia Connect stream was a game called Get Packed.The upcoming physics-based multiplayer party game looks to be an over-the-top, more chaotic version of Gang Beasts. Up to four players participate in what appears to be objective-based competitive mini-games where the objective seems to be to cause as much carnage as possible. The brief teaser showed numerous explosions, breakable objects, driveable cars, fireworks, and plenty more craziness.Get Packed supports both local and online multiplayer. The game is being made by fresh-faced indie developer, Moonshine Studios. The game is expected to launch for Google Stadia sometime in 2020.If you're eager to learn more about Google Stadia, check out our in-depth explainer feature detailing how much it costs and what the subscription model looks like.

Google has announced its release plans for its ambitious video game streaming service, Stadia. As promised, you'll be able to try it for yourself at home this year--as long as you're willing to pay the price. The release is split into tiers, with a hardware bundle available this fall and the software service itself launching separately in 2020.First, in November 2019, Google will launch the Stadia Founder's Edition. This will include a Chromecast Ultra, a limited-edition Night Blue controller, and early dibs on your Stadia account name. It also includes three months of the Stadia Pro service, and a three-month Buddy Pass to gift Stadia Pro to a friend. That bundle will cost $130 / £120. The Founder's Edition will be available in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland.Stadia Pro, the online service itself, will cost $10 a month, but it will only be available with Founder's Editions to start. It includes 4K and 60fps with 5.1 surround sound, access to free games, and discounts on full game purchases. So far the only announced free Pro game is full access to Destiny 2 including its upcoming Shadowkeep expansion and annual pass.For those who don't need all those bells and whistles, and who don't mind waiting to try Stadia for themselves, Google will launch the "Stadia Base" service for free in 2020. That version includes 1080p and 60fps with stereo sound, and the ability to play games in your Chrome browser or on your Pixel 3/3a phone. The free version of the service doesn't include any games, so you'll just purchase titles normally as you would any other game storefront.Google also announced details surrounding the service's launch library, which includes the full Tomb Raider library, Mortal Kombat 11, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Doom Eternal, Darksiders Genesis, and Baldur's Gate 3. The company has not specified how many games will be part of its Stadia Pro subscription.For more details on Stadia, check out all of the Stadia news out of today's presentation.Info from Gamespot.com

During the company's pre-E3 2019 Stadia press conference, Google revealed the subscription model version of its cloud-based game streaming service will launch later this year through the Founder's Edition. For those not ready to subscribe to Stadia Pro, a free alternative called Stadia Base will also be available--but it isn't being released until 2020.Stadia Base is the basic version of the service. You don't have to pay any fees to use it. The games themselves still cost money and are purchased individually, but with Stadia Base you can stream the games to your PC, TV, or mobile device for free. With Stadia Base, you'll be able to stream games up to 1080p at 60fps. Google did not provide a more specific timeframe for Stadia Base's release beyond 2020, though, so it's unknown exactly how much longer we'll have to wait for it.A much more specific release date was provided for the version of the service that does cost money, Stadia Pro. Stadia Pro will be launching as part of the Stadia Founder's Edition, which is currently scheduled to release in November 2019. Stadia Pro costs $10 USD / £9 a month, but that subscription comes with a few goodies. For one, you'll be able to stream games--which you still have to purchase--at up to 4K HDR and 60fps. You'll also gain access to a select collection of free games and receive a discount on titles in Stadia's online store--starting with the roster of over 30 games available on Stadia at the service's launch. Stadia Pro also comes with the complete version of Destiny 2, including the brand-new Shadowkeep expansion.If you think you might go for Stadia Pro, you may want to consider pre-ordering the Founder's Edition. Costing $130 USD / £120, the Founder's Edition includes a three-month subscription to Stadia Pro, a Buddy Pass for you to gift Stadia Pro to a friend for three months, an exclusive Stadia controller you can't buy anywhere else, and a Chromecast Ultra (allowing you to stream Stadia to your TV via an HDMI port).Info from Gamespot.com

Google has finally revealed a lot more information about its upcoming streaming service Stadia, including a release date, a price point, and further launch plans. Among the details was a list of launch games developers and publishers that will be supporting Stadia, with notable names like Bethesda, Square Enix, and Ubisoft. One particularly eye-catching name on the list of developers is Rockstar Games.Unlike most other listed studios, though, Rockstar's name doesn't include a mention of planned games. Instead, a footnote says that it will "announce content at their discretion." Only two other publishers share this footnote, EA and Capcom.That leaves an open question as to just which games Rockstar plans to bring to Google Stadia. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a distinct possibility, as the studio's most recent release, but as of yet a PC version of that game hasn't been officially confirmed. Grand Theft Auto 5 would also make sense, given its availability on PC and its ongoing success. However, neither of those are confirmed, so we could be getting other games from the Rockstar catalog.Google Stadia will launch in November, so whatever Rockstar has in store will need to be ready by then. That's when Google will release the Stadia Founder's Edition, which includes hardware in the form of a Chromecast with a controller, along with a three-month subscription to Stadia Pro. A separate Stadia Base tier, which allows a la carte game purchases at a lower resolution, will launch in 2020.For more details on all the launch info released today, check out our Google Stadia roundup.

Destiny 2 is coming to Google Stadia in all its glory--and with all the content the game has accrued since its launch. Bungie is releasing a new version of the game on Google's cloud-based gaming platform called Destiny 2: The Collection, and it'll include everything that's appeared in Destiny 2, plus what's coming in the future.Google made the announcement as part of its Stadia Connect livestream, which ran down a bunch of details about the new platform and the games that'll be available on it. The new version of Destiny 2 will include all the content that's been in the game so far-- the base game, the Curse of Osiris and Warmind expansions from Year One, plus Forsaken and the annual pass content drops from Year Two.Destiny 2: The Collection will also include Shadowkeep, the game's next expansion coming this fall. Shadowkeep details were previously leaked, but Stadia Connect included the first official look at the expansion, which will take players back to the Destiny 1 location of the moon.You'll also be able to transfer your existing Destiny 2 character to Stadia from "any other platform," according to the stream--but it included a disclaimer that said save transfers from PlayStation 4 are pending approval from Sony.Destiny 2: The Collection is part of the Stadia Pro subscription, which will run you $9.99 per month. You can also buy games piecemeal under the Stadia Base version of the platform, which doesn't include a subscription fee, but it won't launch until some time in 2020.We've got a whole lot more Stadia coverage for you to read, including all the news from the first Stadia Connect.

During Google's Stadia E3 press conference, the company announced that over 30 games will launch on the cloud-based gaming service. One of those games is the highly anticipated Borderlands 3.The long-awaited sequel to Borderlands 2 is scheduled to release for Xbox One, PS4, and PC on September 13. It also appears as if crossover DLC released for Borderlands 2 will arrive soon, if a mistaken listing on Steam is any indication.Though the initial trailer for the game was disappointing, our time with the game during a preview event met many of our expectations. Most notable is Gearbox's decision to take inspiration from other modern day shooters, like Titanfall 2, including the addition of sliding and climbing to implement both more speed and verticality to combat.Though the first-person loot shooter is recognizably more of the same Borderlands formula in many respects, the game's new loot features and skill tree systems make for a more satisfying experience for solo players. Borderlands 3's story approaches new themes as well, including Twitch streamer-inspired antagonists, a focus on the importance of the Sirens, and travel to other planets.Stadia is Google's approach to cloud gaming, allowing users to stream their digital purchases via Wi-Fi to a computer or TV. A Stadia Founder's Edition is available for pre-order now, costing $130 USD / £120. This special edition comes with a limited-edition controller, Chromecast Ultra, a three-month subscription to Stadia Pro, and a three-month Buddy Pass to give to a friend so they can try Stadia Pro.Chromecast Ultra allows you to stream Stadia (or many other apps, such as Netflix or HBO Go) through your TV via an HDMI port. Stadia Pro--normally a $10 USD / £9 a month fee--allows you to stream games in 4K HDR at 60fps (as opposed to Stadia Base which only goes up to 1080p at 60fps). The subscription also provides access to a free library of specific games and a discount on all titles in Stadia's store. There's also a limited-time Stadia Pro deal for Destiny 2.Stadia Founder's Edition is currently scheduled to launch in November 2019. The free Stadia Base will not be available until sometime in 2020. Other Stadia games on the way include the newly announced Baldur's Gate III from Larian Studios, the developer of the Divinity: Original Sin games.Info from Gamespot.com

In its pre-E3 2019 Stadia press conference, Google outlined some of the specifics for its cloud-based game streaming service. Stadia is up for pre-order now in the Founder's Edition, which comes with several exclusive goodies, like a specially colored controller and Chromecast Ultra.Apart from the swapped location of the d-pad and left analog stick, Stadia's controller closely resembles a Switch Pro Controller in design, but it has two unique buttons. One allows you to seamlessly share gameplay, while the other activates the controller's microphone so you can ask Google Assistant a question. Chromecast Ultra allows you to stream Stadia directly to your TV via an HDMI port, as well as several other supported apps like Netflix and HBO Go. The technical specs for both the controller and Chromecast Ultra are outlined below.Stadia Controller Technical SpecsWi-Fi: Dual-band (2.4GHz / 5GHz) IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac connectivityBluetooth: Bluetooth Low Energy 4.2 (BLE)Headset jack: 3.5mm headset jack for headsets with or without a microphoneUSB: USB-C port for charging, wired gameplay, and accessories such as USB-C headsets.

Among the 30 games confirmed for Google, a few are brand-new titles. One surprising inclusion is Darksiders Genesis, a new game in THQ's series about angels, demons, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.The first trailer for the game released today, showing the horseman Strife battling demons fromh a Diablo-like camera perspective. We're likely to get more details at THQ's E3 2019 panel, scheduled for Thursday, June 13 at 10:30 AM PT / 1:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM BST. That panel address the "the inception of the Darksiders universe and where it's headed next," while also touching on "a brand-new Darksiders game that takes the franchise in a fresh direction."Hopefully, the new direction that Genesis is embarking on is a good one, as the last Darksiders game wasn't very well-received. In our Darksiders III review, Richard Wakeling wrote, "Darksiders 3 retrogrades on its predecessors with an unfocused approach that constantly clashes with itself. There are remnants of a good game here, buried within the vivacious combos of a combat style this game doesn't want to embrace. Unfortunately, it's buried far too deep to ever salvage."Google Stadia lets you stream games from the cloud to your computer or TV. For $130 USD / £120, you can pre-order the Stadia Founder's Edition and get a limited-edition controller, Chromecast Ultra, a three-month subscription to Stadia Pro, and a three-month Buddy Pass for a friend to try Stadia Pro. The Founder's Edition will release in November 2019.For $10 USD / £9 a month, Stadia Pro lets you stream games in 4K HDR at 60fps, and also provides access to a free library of games, a discount in Stadia's online store, and a limited-time Destiny 2 deal.

Destiny 2's next chapter is adding a whole lot of new stuff to the game with its next big expansion. Starting on September 17 with the release of Shadowkeep, the Destiny 2 base game, including its first year of content add-ons, will go free-to-play on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia.Bungie made the announcement Thursday on a livestream unveiling its fall expansion ahead of E3 2019, the first since its split with former publishing partner Activision. The free-to-play version of Destiny 2 is called Destiny 2: New Light, and it includes all of the Year One content for the game. That means the vanilla version of Destiny 2 with its original raid, plus its first two content expansions, Curse of Osiris and Warmind, are all part of the free package.You'll still have to pay for the Forsaken expansion and the annual pass, which included three smaller content drops, that came after it. You will, however, be able to visit the locations added in Forsaken; the DLC itself will have to be purchased if you want to play its campaign, however. Both Forsaken and the initial annual pass will be sold in a bundle for $40.Here's Bungie's full description of the New Light from its press release:"Destiny 2: New Light: Alongside Destiny 2: Shadowkeep comes a new way for players to enjoy the game. Destiny 2: New Light is a brand new entry point for newcomers that puts the worlds of Destiny 2--and all of its foundational modes, activities, and rewards--into the hands of every player, with no barrier to entry. With Destiny 2: New Light, anyone can play Destiny 2, and Destiny 2: Shadowkeep's a la carte model is the first example of how we’re looking to deliver content to you in the future."The press release also notes that Shadowkeep is a standalone expansion, meaning you won't need to own any past Destiny 2 content in order to play it. That's a big change from the model the game has previously used; each new expansion in Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 required players to own all previous expansion content as well. Shadowkeep will be priced at $35 in the US.The price of entry has likely turned a lot of lapsed players away from returning to the game. Bungie has tried to mitigate that fact over the last year, offering the Destiny 2 base game for free for a short time on PC and through PlayStation Plus. New Light and standalone expansions look to be a further development on the idea of making it easy for players to return to the game even if they miss some content along the way.Bungie also announced that Destiny 2 will support cross-saves on all platforms beginning with Shadowkeep--Xbox One, PS4, PC, and Google's Stadia. What's not completely clear at this point is how you'll access paid content on multiple platforms, and whether you'll need to buy those things more than once.It also marks the end of exclusive Destiny 2 content for certain platforms. Up until now, PlayStation 4 players have enjoyed additional weapons, missions, and multiplayer maps that haven't been available to other players, but Shadowkeep puts a stop to that. Bungie's press release said that all these changes are part of its initiative to make it possible to play Destiny 2 "anytime, anywhere."Info from Gamespot.com
