New Xbox One Game Announcements At E3 2019: Destroy All Humans, Watch Dogs Legion, And More

Microsoft is hitting E3 2019 big this year with a roster of 14 first-party games during its upcoming Xbox press conference, which comes as great news given the company's lackluster history of exclusives in the past few years. We've yet to get a full confirmed list of the games it'll be showing, but there are dozens of other new Xbox One games worth getting excited about that were announced at the show.

Microsoft's briefing is the highlight of today's E3 schedule, along with Bethesda's press conference later in the day. Both are sure to have a lot of new games for Xbox One and other platforms, and we might even get a next-gen Xbox. Leaks suggest that Xbox's conference will also bring From Software's new game, Elden Ring, which is a collaboration with Game of Thrones creator George RR Martin.

Several third-party publishers and developers have already confirmed some of their biggest upcoming releases ahead of E3. Activision unveiled its next Call of Duty, which is called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and is a reboot of the original that made the series the big household name it is today. On the other hand, Ubisoft confirmed and teased Watch Dogs Legion after it leaked.

There's plenty more than those games, and you can find all the ones announced so far in the feature below. There's bound to be more, so be sure to check this feature often as we'll be updating it with more games as they get announced.

E3 has begun, and we'll be covering it all week long. For the latest news, previews, trailers, and gameplay, check out our E3 hub. If you're keen to be around as the biggest announcements are being made, then tune in during the event's big press conferences.

Which new Xbox One games are you super excited to hear more about? Let us know in the comments.

Activision and Infinity Ward released all kinds of information about this year's Call of Duty ahead of E3. We know it's Modern Warfare, but it's not a remake of the 2007 classic--it's a reimagining of that game, geared at being more "relevant" to the current world we live in. While we haven't seen much in the way of multiplayer, we know about two big developments on that front already: First, Modern Warfare will support cross-play between Xbox One, PS4, and PC, so you can play with anyone regardless of their platform. Second, Call of Duty is doing away with the season pass format of selling post-release content, and all multiplayer maps released after the game's launch on October 25 will be free to all players.

On the campaign side (yes, single-player campaigns are back in Call of Duty), Infinity Ward has said it's looking to make a game that asks players how far they're willing to go in a modern war that doesn't have defined battlefields or easily identifiable combatants. It's looking to explore the moral gray area of conflicts, and while you'll fight alongside at least one returning character--Captain Price--you'll also join rebel fighters in a fictional Middle Eastern coverage. You can read everything we've learned about Modern Warfare so far, and you might also check out our interview with studio narrative director Taylor Kurosaki about what Infinity Ward is trying to achieve with the game's story.

Release Date: October 25, 2019

Darksiders fans probably might be thrown off guard by Darksiders Genesis. A series spin-off, the upcoming Diablo-style action-RPG is a prequel story to the entire franchise. It allows you to play as all four of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, meaning for the first time in the series' history you'll get to play as the gunslinging Horsemen, Strife.

The most exciting news about Darksiders Genesis, however, is it's made by Airship Syndicate, a studio founded and lead by former series artist Joe Madureira, who is responsible for the well-received Battlechasers: Nightwar.

Release Date: TBA

Another unexpected remake was announced at E3 2019. This time it's for the sixth-generation alien action game Destroy All Humans. The self-aware open-world action game is set in the 1950s and puts you in control Crypto-137, an invader tasked with taking of Earth. As in the original, you'll pilot a flying saucer, pose as humans, and utilize a wacky arsenal of powers and weapons, such as psychokinesis and...an anal probe gun.

Release Date: TBA 2020

EA's FIFA 20 is looking to introduce new changes that elevate its faithful recreation of association football. This time around, there's a larger emphasis and incentive on manual defending, as opposed to allowing an AI to dictate the defense for you. Shooting is also getting a slight revamp, with attackers given greater accuracy. EA says that lots of work is being done on making passing and shooting more realistic. Of course, this is only the beginning of the adjustments and surprises are in store in the latest FIFA, so stay tuned as the show goes on as we hear more.

Release Date: September 27, 2019

Outriders is an upcoming new game from Square Enix, which was teased via the company's social channels earlier this week. Not much is known about the game, but we're primed to hear more during the Square Enix's E3 2019 press conference. Currently, all we have to go by is a brief teaser simply showing a mysterious figure asleep in a cryo-chamber, with red alarms sounding in the background. The figure gasps awake and then stares ahead with not much more clue of the circumstances befallen them.

Release Date: TBA

Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated is an upcoming remake of the 2003 licensed platformer of the same name. Much like Activision's work on the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon remakes, Battle for Bikini Bottom will have completely redone visuals, textures, and character models. Also, it will feature a new multiplayer mode and new content cut from the original.

Release Date: TBA 2020

Watch Dogs Legion is the latest game in Ubisoft's hacker-centric open-world franchise. Following a retail leak, Ubisoft officially confirmed the game via Twitter. According to an early Amazon UK product description, Watch Dogs Legion takes place in a near-future, dystopian version of London, saying: "It's a post-Brexit world in which society, politics, and technology have changed and altered London's fortunes." However, one of the most interesting elements this time is the ability to play any NPC you encounter in the world. There's still more to learn about the game, but Ubisoft has confirmed that it will give us more information at its upcoming press conference.

Release Date: TBA
