E3 2018 Leak Archive

This E3 is leaking worse than a broken pipe. Possibly the most leaked E3 ever. But maybe we can gain something out of all this. I'm a fan of the fantastic Switch Rumor Archive thread, and I think it's worth it to do something similar with all these E3 leaks.

I want us to collaborate in finding out which games were leaked, which source(s) leaked them, and then checking whether or not they were confirmed before or during E3. I think it's a good idea to consider only rumors with a minimum amount of credibility - so let's ignore the classic "Nintendo Direct schedule internal use only".

I'll start with a few I remember from the top of my head, and I'll edit this post with people's suggestions. I also accept suggestions on how to organize this list.

What about games like Death Stranding that Kojima has teased trailers for on his Twitter account (possibly more to it but I haven't been keeping up with news). Do we have any other information whether that is making an appearance at E3?

Dragon Quest 2 is likely Builders 2
Edit; I'm stupid, it's XB/PS4, probably Dragon Quest XI that went through a series of mislabels. XI-> eleven -> 11 -> II -> 2!

Assuming everything in the Walmart leak is real, I wonder what the hell Dragon Quest 2 is, and what that means for FF7R.

Announcing a new Dragon Quest isn't out of the question, since they started XI development by recreating a part of DQ3 in the engine. It could also be a Monsters sequel or something... Did they already have preorders for Builders 2 up? Could also be that :(

For some weird reason, looking at the title, I thought the entire E3 conference games were leaked.

Builders 2. Just like Horizon 5 is Horizon 4.

Also, I would laugh so fucking hard if it's Forza Horizons, which is why they made that error. Way less likely than hitting 5 instead of 4, but also way more entertaining :P

EDIT: Yeah, they don't have a pre-order page up for Builders 2. It's definitely that.

Great thread idea!

Wasn't Metroid Prime 4 part of the Walmart Leak as well? Sort of like FFVIIR, could indicate it's at E3.

Pokemon isn't really an E3 leak, it was never planned to be revealed at E3 and the rumors started months ago.

I don't think it makes sense to group titles together under the "Switch Logo Leak" or "Walmart Leak", especially when some games (Assassin's Creed, Just Cause) are already mentioned above. Just list every game individually, and then add "Switch Logo Leak" or "Walmart Leak" under the "Sources" for each title

Did Gow4 do well enough to get another entry? really sucks that the studio is stuck making Gow for the foreseeable future. As it looked like they had some interesting ideas.

Sure. I guess Dragon Quest (Builders) 2 is also in that camp.

What's up with the Diablo III Eternal edition? You can pre-order it everywhere. So isn't that enough of a confirmation?

Hadn't noticed, thanks.

Thank you OP for all the heads up but Assassin's Creed Odyssey is confirmed and will be shown.

You can also add RE2 Remake: https://www.resetera.com/threads/ru...ar-camera-info-re2-re4-devs-contracted.44823/

I feel that's a bit too 4chan-y still.

Yeah, wanted to point out that Comet is the name they give to their big DLC expansions. The one for Destiny 2 was just confirmed as being the Forsaken DLC.

Oh, I hadn't even thought of "Destiny Comet" as an expansion of Destiny hahaha.

Note that Killer Queen Black has another thing pointing to it being true. Last I saw, their social media accounts like FB have turned black in early May. Must be a tease.
