The Best Games (and Trailers) From E3

A high octane story trailer showed Master Chief reuniting with Cortana to kick some ass, while a deep dive into the game’s multiplayer looks to draw on the best of previous titles. As the developers admit, they haven’t finished any gameplay, nor anything really “except the title.” A sequel will be a great chance to fulfill the first game’s massive potential: basically, to polish and extend its lively universe.Metroid Dread came with an apology; Nintendo is sorry you’ve had to wait so long for Metroid Prime 4, and sorry it can’t show you any of the game yet. The November 2022 release date means that fans of The Elder Scrolls will plausibly have grandkids by the time the next game in the series comes out.A stunning-looking game that isn’t a sequel or another entry in a long running franchise? It has changed tack for the new game, saying it is political “as all games about revolution must be.” It seems unlikely Far Cry 6 will provide a nuanced take on armed class struggle: The trailer promises players they will, in true Far Cry spirit, still be able to “blow shit up.” Most strikingly, the game will feature the fantastic Giancarlo Esposito from Breaking Bad, with full voice work and motion capture.Avatar occupies a slightly strange place in popular culture. That could change in 2022 with the release of Frontiers of Pandora, a game set in the Avatar universe being developed by Ubisoft and Massive, which worked on the likes of Far Cry 3 and The Division; and timed to coincide with the release of Avatar 2 in December next year.
