While the original The Division launched as a bit of a mess, Ubisoft did not abandon it. Instead, they continued to support it to this very day, with the end result being a much different and much more enjoyable version of The Division. With that in mind, I am happy to announce that The Division 2 has now been officially revealed alongside a lengthy gameplay preview.
So if you're interested in what The Division 2 has to offer and where exactly it differs from the original, you'll find two of the recent trailers down below. The first one is a brief story trailer setting up Washington D.C. and the new threat, while the second one is an overly choreographed but still enjoyable gameplay preview. Have a look:

After being delayed time and time again, Crackdown 3 appears to have finally been pinned down to a February 2019 release date for both PC and Xbox One. Once it arrives you can expect to see a futuristic and truly massive open-world, a whole host of unique and interesting weapons, and apparently Terry Crews himself using said weapons to unleash a torrent of destruction!
If you think I'm making some sort of joke that's going over your head, rest assured that I am 100% serious. As it turns out, in Crackdown 3 we will be playing as Terry Crews whose playing as Commander Jaxon! Since I'm sure some of you are still think I'm yanking your chain, allow me to show you the recently posted E3 trailer. It's quite something!

[Update #2]: Halo Infinite's open-world singleplayer campaign has now arrived for PC and Xbox, and so far it's looking remarkably good.
[Update]: Instead of launching in the 2020 holiday season, Halo Infinite has been pushed back to 2021.
In an announcement that should come as no surprise given that it's Microsoft's big-hitter, Halo Infinite (or rather Halo 6) has now been unveiled for both PC and Xbox One. There are very few gameplay details currently available, but what I can tell you is that the campaign will focus on the Master Chief and continue on with his storyline after the events of Halo 5.
What might also be of interest is that Halo Infinite will be going back to the series' iconic art style and tone, as you'll see in the in-engine trailer below. Again, there is unfortunately no gameplay on display, but the visuals sure do look lovely! Have a peek:
Metro Exodus now has a rather intriguing and highly atmospheric new gameplay trailer

As you might guess from the name alone, Metro Exodus will be trading the shattered ruins of Moscow for a more visually interesting and continent-spanning journey. Along the way you can expect to see a variety of human factions, some of which appear to be straight up insane, as well as numerous new weapons, monsters to use said weapons against, and naturally, a whole ton of atmosphere-focused horror to stew in.
You can get a good glimpse at what all of this looks like in-game through the recently posted E3 trailer. Have a gander, it's quite an interesting video, even though it does start off a bit slow and brooding:
Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is an upcoming spiritual successor to the 1989 action-platformer Dragon's Trap

If you're up for a bit of a blast from the past, look no further than the newly revealed Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. It is an upcoming action-platformer developed by Game Atelier, and heavily inspired by Monster Boy 3: The Dragon's Trap, which hails from the ancient times of 1989.
Much like Dragon's Trap, you will be able to transform into six different animals in order to solve environmental puzzles, beat up enemies, and naturally, hunt down numerous secrets. There will also be a variety of weapons and items to obtain, either throughout the levels or purchased in shops, which should go a long way towards making the gameplay fresh and interesting for many hours to come. After all, if you get bored of one playstyle you can just transform into something else entirely!
Forza Horizon 4 is set to arrive on both PC and Xbox One this October 2nd

In an announcement that should come as absolutely no surprise to any of you, Forza Horizon 4 has now been fully revealed at E3. What might just come as a bit of a surprise, however, is that Forza Horizon 4 will be coming to PC and Xbox One in the fairly near future, on October 2nd!
Besides being able to collect an absolute ton of cars, Forza Horizon 4 will allow you to create your very own routes across the open world. The world itself will change based on the seasons, unlocking new events and impacting driving conditions based on the weather. As such, in order to succeed you will need to master driving in wet, dry, muddy, snowy, and even icy conditions as lakes will freeze over during winter, thus giving you access to impromptu new routes! You will also be able to use all of this to design and share your very own custom races, which I can already imagine being a whole load of fun.
Stormlands is Insomniac's newly announced and rather beautiful VR action-adventure

[Update]: Insomniac has now released a new trailer highlighting the story and visuals!
While VR has some impressive games, very few of them are truly visually stunning given the already immense hardware requirements. With that in mind, I am very pleased to announce that Insomnic Games' upcoming VR adventure Stormlands belongs to that rather exclusive group.
Besides simply ogling the world, Stormlands will allow you quite a bit of freedom when it comes to actually exploring it. You can choose to run from location to location, fly through slipstreams, bounce of ramps, scale sheer cliffs, and even glide through the air despite being a somewhat rusty robot! If you're wondering what all of this craziness might look like in-game, here's the recently posted E3 trailer. Have a gander:
