E3 2019: Bleeding Edge Announced, Hellblade Dev's New Melee-Focused Game

During Microsoft's Xbox E3 2019 press conference--one of the several many E3 streams held by the major publishers and developers that precede the actual show--the company revealed Ninja Theory is working on a new game called Bleeding Edge. The game got a trailer during the show too.

The trailer shown during the show was previously leaked. It showcases some of the combatants in the game, each of which has a very unique set of abilities. The trailer can be watched above. The game looks like it's structured like a team-based shooter, like Team Fortress 2 or Overwatch, but every character is melee-focused instead.

Prior to E3, Microsoft said it was "going big," covering 14 first-party Xbox One titles and several third-party games. There are rumors that this is the E3 where the next-gen Xbox console will be announced.
