Elden Ring \u2013 rumours suggest it won\u2019t be at E3 (pic: Bandai Namco)Readers reveal the games and announcements they\u2019re most looking forward to from E3 2021, including Gotham Knights and Far Cry 6.
\nBy this time next week E3 2021 will have begun and while it\u2019s online only it should still be the biggest preview event of the year. The pandemic has made it difficult to predict what might be revealed by the various publishers but we wanted to know what you were looking forward to the most.
\nAs you\u2019d imagine, the Switch Pro, Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2, and Elden Ring were the most popular choices but there was also lots of interest in seeing Microsoft cut lose, no matter what they might actually show.
\nLord of the ringI know it\u2019s probably not going to be there, but I would love for Elden Ring to be featured. I love FromSoftware and Soulsborne games in general and this one sounds like it\u2019s going to be much higher budget than before, which sounds amazing. There\u2019s so little information but we know it\u2019s got an open world, horseback riding\/battles, and\u2026 I think that\u2019s about it for certain.
\nI have no idea how something as difficult as Dark Souls is going to work with an open world, but I sure can\u2019t wait to find out. People talk about companies they trust implicitly, without needing to see reviews or anything else and From definitely fit into that category for me. Everything they have done since Demon\u2019s Souls has been amazing and I\u2019m certain the same will be true for Elden Ring.
\nWhy they\u2019re not showing it yet I couldn\u2019t say, but apparently Japanese developers have more problems than most coping with the pandemic so hopefully it\u2019s just that. Although they probably jinxed themselves when they had George R. R. Martin help out with the story.Gifford
\nQuarantine revelationI know some people are going to say it\u2019s just another open world Ubisoft game but I\u2019m looking forward to seeing Far Cry 6 at E3. I though the last one was the best so far, which is a good trajectory to be on and they seem to be putting more effort into the story this time \u2013 although who knows how that will actually turn out.
\nUbisoft usually put on a good show in general, although they\u2019ll have to if they\u2019re going to convince me that this is Rainbow Six Quarantine game is any good. I do like the idea of a realistic space marine game (although I would\u2019ve had no aliens) but from what I understand this is just some multiplayer only thing, spun off from a mode of Rainbow Six Siege. I hope not, I wanted it to be an alternative to Siege that focused more on single-player.
\nThere\u2019s an actual Space Force now so why not try and be the first game to feature it? I would\u2019ve thought that\u2019d be more interesting than some hackneyed zombies-but-they\u2019re-actually-aliens game.Larkin64
\nMore WarsI really hope we get to see some new Star Wars games at E3 but with EA not there I think the chances are low. Ubisoft have a game but it\u2019s a long way off, so we probably won\u2019t see any of that. I don\u2019t think there are any others, beyond a few VR titles, but there could always be some surprises, which is what I\u2019m hoping for.
\nThat XCOM meets Marvel game from Firaxis was a surprise nobody knew about till now so I\u2019m hoping the same might be true of Star Wars. I\u2019d love to see a strategy game (by Firaxis, now I think of it) or a Republic Commando sequel, or something with bounty hunters\u2026 there\u2019s so much that could be done and it\u2019s taking so long for it to be released!DNA3

\nE3 CrisisI\u2019m hoping to see more of Gotham Knights, which I\u2019m really looking forward to.
\nAlso, a proper look at Instinction which is meant to be a spiritual sequel to the Dino Crisis games! It\u2019s being made by a New Zealand company Hashbane and I\u2019ve been following its progress. There\u2019s only been small clips so far, but they are meant to be showing an actual trailer around E3 time.
\nUntil Capcom get around to remaking or rebooting Dino Crisis I\u2019m hoping this will be an excellent alternative!LastYearsModel
\nGC: We have never heard of this game till now. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
\nE3 FantasyI\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s even worth imagining what Nintendo will do as you\u2019ll never get it right, although I\u2019d love a new Advance Wars \u2013 even though I can\u2019t see it happening.
\nI\u2019m actually really intrigued by Square Enix\u2019s line-up this year as well. I feel they\u2019ve been a lot more on the ball in the last few years and if the rumours are true they\u2019ve got some good stuff coming up. A Dark Souls style Final Fantasy game from the makers of Nioh sounds like a great idea and I hope it\u2019s true and will be shown.
\nThere\u2019s not enough to go on from Final Fantasy 16 to know whether it\u2019ll be good or not but hopefully that\u2019s why they\u2019ll show off more. It\u2019s about time we saw something of the next chapter of Final Fantasy 7 Remake too.
\nI guess a Guardians of the Galaxy game could be good but it\u2019d need to be funny and that is going to be near impossible for how long the average game lasts. To be honest I\u2019d be much more interested in hearing about a brand new NieR. There\u2019s got to be one, given how even the remaster sold well (who knew the general public had such good taste!) so it should just be a matter of time now.LennoxPS
\nEmpty glassI think E3 has been declining in relevance for years. I\u2019m not excited for it in the slightest.
\nOf course, there is always the chance there will be some sort of PR disaster like the Xbox One had in 2013, that was very entertaining.Chris Hard

Best of BethesdaI\u2019m curious as to what MachineGames are up to, as I think they\u2019re by far the best of Bethesda\u2019s studios. I really wanted them to make Wolfenstein 3, and finish up the trilogy, but the second one not doing so well, and all those pointless spin-offs, seems to have made that less than certain. There are rumours of it though so I hope it\u2019s true.
\nI\u2019m curious to see what they\u2019d do with an Indiana Jones game, especially as it doesn\u2019t seem they\u2019re sort of thing. It\u2019s got to be third person, surely, with a lot of vehicles and platforming, which I don\u2019t think they have any experience with. They\u2019re a talented team though so I\u2019d like to see them stretch themselves a bit.
\nThe other good Bethesda studio is id Software and I\u2019d like to see something announced from them too. I think there\u2019s a good chance as Microsoft will want to show off all its purchases, even if nothing is out very soon. Again, hopefully there\u2019ll be a new Doom to round out the trilogy but something brand new would be good too. A Quake reboot would be nice but it\u2019s a long time since they\u2019ve made a new IP and I think that would be a much better idea than wasting their time with things like Rage 2.Yellow King
