With E3 and its myriad press conferences right around the corner, we prepare for one of the year’s biggest weeks in game news by recapping what turned out to be a pretty intense week of announcements and leaks in its own right, in which we learned the first details about Watch Dogs 2, were introduced to the next piece of Destiny with the unveiling of Rise of Iron, and most importantly, finally got a North American release date for Persona 5. We cover this and much more, before moving on to a round of speculation, going through each of the major entities sent to have a press conference at E3 – including Bethesda, Ubisoft, Microsoft, and Sony – and parsing out what we know, what we don’t know, and what we think might happen. How accurate will our predictions turn out to be? Tune in next week to find out.
