Gaming News Starts Flowing Ahead of E3: World of Final Fantasy, Injustice 2, & More


Watch Dogs 2 REVEALED! - The Know

E3 2016 is literally around the cornerwell, not literally, unless you live around the corner from the L.A. Convention Center, but itsnext week, which is fairly soon. Anyway, while big news an announcements are still under wraps (including some upgraded consoles from Sony and (potentially) Microsoft, a new Zelda game, and more), there are quite a few new trailers and bits of information floating around that we can talk about today.

First up, theres World of Final Fantasy, which had a trailer (above) and release daterevealed yesterday. The game looks basically like what would happen if you took Disney out of Kingdom Hearts and shrunk all theFinal Fantasy characters down into walking Funko Pops. Add that to the awkwardness in the trailer dialogue, and youve got yourself one very distinctiveFinal Fantasy mashup game. Despite the weirdness, it all adds up to be kind of endearing to me, and youll get to explore the world of Grimoire for yourself on October 25th in North America, 27th in Japan, and 28th in Europe.

Elsewhere in official news,Banjo-Kazooie spiritual successor Yooka-Laylee also has a trailer, and it looks good enough to dull the impact of the games release date slipping to 2017. Meanwhile, other news has come by way of leaks, with details on bothWatchDogs 2 andInjustice 2 slipping out before they were planned. InWatch Dogs case, it was set to be revealed tomorrow anyway, butadsthat went live early show the games release date of November 15 and give away its San Francisco setting. Polygon also has a solid rundown of the teaser for tomorrows reveal.

As for theInjustice sequelthe DC Comics fighting game followup from the makers ofMortal KombatGameStop marketing marketing materials first popped up on Twitter, confirming previous rumors of the games existence. NetherRealms boss Ed Boon is none too happy about it, but what can you do?

(Injustice 2 now has an official trailer out featuring DCs heroes beating each other up a bunch if youre into that.)Thats all for now, but this is just the beginning as we draw ever closer to E3.
