On top of the list above, was an extremely brief, unnamed game trailer by Software that IGN.com guesses might be Bloodborne 2.
An extremely long cinematic of “Death Stranding” was also seen. Although it was certainly interesting to watch, it, unfortunately, was void of any gameplay or details.
Lastly, in a segment advertising the upcoming Jumanji movie, Jack Black teased that he was involved in Psychonauts 2 and whispered that it would be “coming soon.”
2017 has been a phenomenal year for games. In fact, it’s been so good, I was a little concerned about how next year would compare. However, after Monday night’s announcements, it appears my concerns were unwarranted.
Which game(s) are you most excited about? Let us know in the comments below.
