Microsoft has released the official E3 2018 gameplay trailer for Crackdown 3, showing homing rocket launchers, vortex cannons and transforming vehicles.

We Happy Few out in August, Microsoft acquires developer Compulsion Games
https://www.pcgamer.com/we-happy-few-out-in-august-microsoft-acquires-developer-compulsion-games/
We Happy Few, first released on Steam in Early Access in July 2016, is out on August 10, Microsoft showed at its E3 2018 press conference. It's actually been awhile since We Happy Few was available for purchase on Early Access, as the developers removed it from sale after increasing the scope and price from $30 to $60.
Perhaps the bigger news is that Microsoft has acquired developer Compulsion Games. It's too early to say what that means for their next game, other than that it's most likely arriving for Xbox and PC.

Revealed during Microsoft's E3 press event, the new game will feature 4K hand-drawn graphics, three-player couch co-op, and "body morphing genre mash-ups."

New Gundam Breaker delayed on PC
https://www.pcgamer.com/new-gundam-breaker-delayed-on-pc/
A listing on the Brazil Advisory Rating Board that appeared in February pointed to the release of New Gundam Breaker on PC. That was confirmed in March when Bandai Namco announced a launch date of June 22 for PS4 and, "for the first time for a Gundam game," PC.
Alas, that plan has hit a snag. The PS4 version will still launch on schedule, but the PC version has been pushed back to the summer. "In order to deliver the highest quality experience for the players, Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe have decided that New Gundam Breaker on PC needed further enhancements," it said in a statement. The nature of those required enhancements were not specified.

 

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition coming to PC this winter
https://www.pcgamer.com/tales-of-vesperia-definitive-edition-coming-to-pc-this-winter/
Tales of Vesperia was a notable JRPG back in 2008: it was released exclusively on the Xbox 360 and was a lavish, big budget production at the time, something the Tales series hasn't really had since. A PS3 version released exclusively in Japan a year later had some extra content that never made its way to the west. Until now, anyway: a trailer shown at Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference announced Vesperia is coming back this winter, with that PS3 content included. And this time, it'll be available on PC as well.
