Which press conference are you particularly looking forward to? The information on games Dragon Age: Inquisition and Diablo III will surely be exciting. But what surprises hide behind the “Unannounced title”? What will Bethesda and co. present?
At EA, the focus will likely be on Battlefield: Hardline, although the big surprise has unfortunately already been leaked – the game will revolve around the battle of the police against criminals. Besides that, Dragon Age: Inquisition will definitely be a topic. Many fans are hoping for Mass Effect – let’s see if something will actually follow.
Blizzard will, of course, report on classics like World of Warcraft, Diablo, Starcraft II, and Hearthstone. Will the long-awaited release date of the expansion Naxxramas or Mobile Apps be revealed? Exciting news about the hack and slash MMO shooter Destiny is also expected, for which the beta should start this summer.
What date are you particularly looking forward to?
In the MMO area, I personally let myself be completely surprised. As a passionate Sims gamer, I am of course eagerly waiting for news about The Sims 4 – but FIFA will surely be quite interesting. Hmm, and I can’t wait for the mobile app of Hearthstone either – Ah, it will be great days!
