The action-adventure genre is very popular and while we didn’t get a ton of new announcements at E3 this year, the ones we did get were pretty special. Here are four action-adventure titles that were announced during this year’s E3.

No More Heroes 3

No More Heroes 3 is something that I’ve personally been waiting for, for a very long time.

Suda 51 told fans via an interview with GameXplain, that the game is currently early in development and in a prototype-like phase.

The game will be more in line with a “single A” or “triple-B” experience versus a full-on “triple-A” game, as the team working on it is roughly only around 100 people.

However, Suda 51 reassures fans in letting them know that the classic gameplay of the numbered series of games will return and it will definitely be more a true sequel that fans were hoping for.

If you happened to miss the reveal and teaser trailer for the game, please feel free to check out our coverage of it here.

Also, you can check out the newly released “F*ckhead” version of the trailer released for more mature audiences and also new information on how Travis will be fighting “Thanos-Level dudes” in his next grand adventure.

Watch Dogs: Legion

Watch Dogs: Legion is the next entry in the hacker-friendly series, where you’ll be able to play as any NPC (via permadeath mechanics) in a post-Brexit London.

The tone between both Watch Dogs 1 and 2 was somewhat different. Both put you in the role of just one person, but the sequel had a bit more of a light-hearted approach as you played a more outgoing type of hipster-like character.

During the E3 reveal, we see the player jumping from character to character in order to get various tasks done and fight off the opposition.

The game seems to take the hacking to the next level and we also see a pretty exciting car chase sequence during the gameplay reveal that really impressed us.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sequel

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be getting a sequel and it looks to retain the feel and vibe of the first game.

While we currently don’t have many details about it at the moment, it looks to be using the same engine and graphical style as the original Breath of the Wild, but I’m sure we can expect to see the team pushing the Switch to new technical heights with this title.

In the short teaser trailer, we see Link and Zelda in some kind of cave with some magical aura surrounding the area as we get a silhouette of an evil looking creature with the main castle looking like it was beginning to crumble into the ground.

The title was revealed at the end of Nintendo’s E3 Direct presentation and the excitement for a new Breath of the Wild sequel is high.

All of us here at Twinfinite can’t wait to see more about it in the future, but like most reveal trailers, we know that this one is still quite a ways off.

Gods and Monsters

Gods and Monsters, Every New Game Revealed at Ubisoft's E3 2019 Press Conference

Coming from the creators of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Gods and Monsters is Ubisoft Quebec’s new project which they revealed during Ubisoft’s E3 conference.

In this new IP, the developers plan on making Greek mythology accessible to younger audiences as well.

In the trailer, we first get a taste of some of the lush and colorful worlds players can expect to explore. With soothing music playing in the background, we also get a glimpse of a new hero named Phoenix who must rise and stand up against various creatures in order to aid the almighty Olympians and save a place called the Island of the Blessed.

Gods & Monsters is set to release on February 25, 2020 for Xbox One, PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Stadia.

If you want to know more and see the world premiere cinematic trailer for the game, we got you covered.
