Its the calm before the storm, E3 is next week, and the press conferences start this weekend. I will not ask for whom the bell tolls. Here’s the new.
- Hitman 2 Confirmed
- Just Cause 4 Leaked
- Crackdown 3 Delayed
Hitman 2
IO Interactive and WB Games flubbed themselves recently when they attempted to tease a new Hitman game. They only encouraged data scavengers to find out the secret ahead of time.
On Monday, WB games posted on twitter saying to expect an announcement on Thursday. At the same time, Hitman developers IO Interactive made a similar post. People put two and two together, and people guessed a new Hitman game. After combing through the WB servers, someone found an image for HITMAN 2. The image was quickly taken down after, but you cant delete information off the internet. Barbara Streisand and all. Thursday has come and gone, and sure enough, it was Hitman 2. More information on this can be found on the Hitman website.
Just Cause 4
If you’re a prevalent Steam user. You may have noticed that at some point last night, Just Cause 4 appeared in the News popup, claiming to preorder now. The game itself isn’t on Steam, so clicking it leads to nothing, and searches turn up blank as well.
We first saw Just Cause 4 in the Walmart Leak from a bit ago. While this isn’t a formal confirmation, it’s a pretty damning leak.
Crackdown 3 Delayed
Originally intended for a Spring 2018 launch, the super-police RPG shooter has been pushed back again, this time into 2019. Microsoft stated that they want to ensure the best experience for their players as possible, and the delay, while unfortunate, is a result of this desire.
That’s it for today! Special news for this weekend. At the end of each day, I’ll be doing a wrap-up news post about the many E3 press conferences. This will happen Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Consider these normal news posts in terms of format, but far fatter, due to the nature of E3. Otherwise, have a great weekend everyone!
