What to expect when you’re expecting
Pre-E3 leaks are a part of the process. Every year, the rumor mill churns full steam ahead and we inevitably learn about a few top-secret projects that were supposed to be grand reveals at E3. However, a recent retailer blunder might’ve given us most of the big surprises all at once.
Twitter sleuthWario64noticed that Walmart Canada accidentally posted listings for a bunch of not-yet-announced games from some of the industry’s biggest publishers. They include:Borderlands 3,Gears of War 5,Just Cause 4,LEGO DC Villains,Rage 2, andSplinter Cell.

There’s more. Also listed is an unnamedAssassin’s Creedtitle, “Forza Horizons 5” (sic, and certainly the wrong installment number), andDragon Quest 2for PS4 and Xbox One.
Almost everything here seems perfectly plausible. Gearbox has talked aboutBorderlands 3for years now. We’re due for a newGearsreveal. Ubisoft has teasedSplinter Cellstuff via aGhost Recond Wildlandscrossover. Of course it’s time for a newForza Horizon— it’s an even-numbered year, after all.
Normally, it’s best to take rumors with a grain of salt. But, this one feels like you can probably take it (or at least most of it) at face value. ‘Tis the season.
