At least there were separate press conferences from Bethesda and Square Enix, so there were also updates regarding their major MMORPGs The Elder Scrolls Online and Final Fantasy XIV:
- The MMORPG from Square Enix presented the launch trailer that left hardcore fans of Final Fantasy XIV puzzled and announced a plot twist.
- During The Elder Scrolls Online, the last two DLCs for 2019 were presented – the one at the end of 2019 even includes a new zone.

These are the extraordinary news: However, there were also three surprising news updates regarding online role-playing games.
- Black Desert is finally coming to the PS4, which is supposed to happen in 2019. After years of silence, this is something special.
- Additionally, Ubisoft is working on a comedy series about the largest MMORPG in the world, which will be fictional.

- The real kicker, however, is that “Phantasy Star Online 2” is finally coming to PC and Xbox One after 7 years in Japan – at least to North America. This was even prominently featured at the conference, in the mainstream. An unusual spotlight for an MMORPG that has now been living a niche existence.
When the first users complained on reddit about MMORPGs: Phantasy Star Online 2 is now way too old, someone replied: “Aren’t you all excited about WoW Classic at the same time” – that’s almost 10 years older. That person became the hero of the hour.
This is how E3 was for us: From an MMORPG perspective, this was a good E3 – we expected nothing and received more than we thought.
Now we should wait for the rest of the year to see if perhaps something from Asia regarding “Lost Ark” or “Project TL” will still be heard.
Project TL is supposedly guaranteed to be released in 2019 – but nothing is heard from NCSoft.
Lost Ark, Project TL, and perhaps Ashes of Creation and Lost Ark are currently the most interesting new MMORPGs to anticipate – and they will probably just come to us, without a big CGI trailer at E3 and without Keanu Reeves.
Without much fanfare, just as we MMORPG fans have now come to expect.

From the perspective of MMORPG fans, E3 has been sparse for years. Fans often hope for an announcement, only to be disappointed. This time, online role-players actually expected nothing and received three surprises and two regular news updates. A good E3 for the content MMORPG fans, says our author Schuhmann.
This is how E3 is for MMORPG fans: Not so great. In recent years, hardly any new MMORPGs have been presented and the MMORPGs that came are indie games that do not make it to the fair.
Before the E3 2018, we identified a whole series of “possible announcements” that practically all fizzled out, except for the rock-solid:
- At E3 2018, there was nothing from Asia – no Project TL or Lost Ark. There were no updates on the console port of Blade and Soul or the new airship MMO A:IR.
- Anyone who hoped that one of the indie MMORPGs like Crowfall or Ashes of Creation would have a big appearance was also disappointed. Not even Amazon made the effort with their New World.
Since E3 2018, nothing exciting has really happened with any of these games for 12 months. We now know that New World is not an MMORPG but a type of survival MMO.
Therefore, we decided to completely skip the “E3 2019 Preview for MMORPGs” at MeinMMO this time and were then surprised.

These were the usual things: There were two E3 news updates that were clearly expected.
Without much fanfare, just as we MMORPG fans have now come to expect.
