TLOU2 is the only game I care for from this month up to september, hope it meets expectations.

Oh wow Battle for Bikini Bottom comes out in June? I'm pumped!

The game I am actually looking forward to the most would actually be the new brigandine game. Still don’t know too much about it, but it looks and plays pretty much the same as the original, which is a good thing!

The Last of Us Part II

I am more excited about gaming news without E3. Everyone across the industry gets to show their products on their own time, and we see things when they are ready, not to meet a meaningless marketing deadline.

E3 was fun for 2 days a year when Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo had their confernces. This year, gaming news will be fun all summer long. I hope that hardware, software, and services continue to get revealed this way after COVID-19 is behind us.

Shows like PSX, XO, PAX, and Gamescom should still be around for gamers to gather and celebrate, but big announcements should be made on their own time.

Nothing from that list. Maybe I'll consider Control DLC but it's unlikely.

As for bonus question: Not having E3 sucks. Don't like the new "Summer of Gaming" format

The Outer Worlds Switch

The Last Of Us 2. I went ahead and read all the spoilers, and as such, the story has been spoiled. I'm heading into it with an unbelievable bias towards the narrative direction, which will actually likely make things more interesting in it's own way. I've been proven wrong in the past about certain movies and games that I was sure would let me down in some capacity, and it's always nice when that happens. If that does end up being the case, it would certainly help to undo some of the damage done by reading so many major spoilers.

I will not miss E3. It's largely ceremonial, and I'm not much one for ceremony. Aside from Devolver Digital's ongoing story, which wasn't really part of the show, I've scarcely watched it over the past 20 years.

TLoU2, easy. Probably going to be one of the biggest games this gen.

The Last of Us Part II. I hope it lives up to the hype.

I'll also probably get Battle for Bikini Bottom, as I've never played it. But we'll have to see.

I‘ve been waiting for an underwater game like this since Endless Ocean 2 (Wii, 2010). Abzû was beautiful but not really comparable to EO 1 and 2.
