Very Excited for The Last of us 2. Loved the first one.
I’m excited for Pokémon sword and shield for the switch!
Days gone I love it
Borderlands. Never got into the series but it’s looking quite good!
I’m most excited about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, being released by Respawn and EA. Playing through more of the Star Wars universe between episodes 3 and 4 should be very interesting, and give a needed reboot to the Star Wars gaming community (if done well). Looking forward to it!
looking forward to call of duty modern warfare, really hoping it’s a stage up from the recent titles.
Looking forward to Dying Light 2 (game) by Techland. It’ll be nice to see where they are going to take the story and how it develops as you progress like how is the choices in the game decide how the story goes, and how streamline the open world is going to be compared to the first one.
Toss up between Jedi Fallen Order and the new DBZ Project Z RPG (yay letters!). I have high hopes for both! I’m also very curious about how Cyberpunk 2077 is coming along – that game has huge potential and we all know CDPR can build amazing worlds.
Most excited for Pokémon Sword and Shield
Announced by Nintendo/The Pokémon company
Reason. First Gen of Pokémon where my sons are old enough to read and understand dialogue. Excited to explore as a family the new region and experience the new raids together!
I am lookinG forward to borderlands 3
by Gearbox Software.
Can’t wait for it
Íve played them all on PS3
Played some twice , with the PS4 release
Borderlands 3 by Gearbox Software. I’ve been waiting so long to play this game. My friend and I played the previous ones separately and this will be the one we play together and we are pumped!
My favourite announcement so far this year was Death Strandings many interesting trailers. The mystery only makes me want to play the game more and it looks beautiful. After Silent Hills fell through and I heard Kojima was partnering with Sony to put out something else I was beyond excited.
Really hyped by the squareenix Avengers project ans FF7 remake. I am looking forward for pokémon Sword & Shield and Fire Emblem Three houses
I am most excited for the Avengers video game! After finishing phase one of a decade long of movies this game can potentially tie me down until the new phase of movies comes out! Almost a sense a closure especially with Spider-man 2 coming out in July!
Thanks for this opportunity
The game I’m most anticipated for is the Gearbox reveal of Borderlands 3. I’ve played all borderlands and they just keep getting better and better, can’t wait!

There are many good games coming up this year on E3 but the ones I am most excited about are Pokemon Sword and Shield by Nintendo (I’m fan of the pokemon universe since little, played it a lot over my game boy color) Lord of the Rings: Gollum by Daedalic and Middle-earth (love JRR Tolkien universe, I remember playing Lord of The Rings on my PS2 and it was a lot of fun, also Silmarillion is my fav book so far) and Fable 4 by Microsoft (really like the Fable franchise, played from Fable 1 to 3 and enjoyed very much all them).
I am super exited for last of us 2 in PlayStation. The title speaks for itself. The story on the first one was amazing and cannot wait to continue my adventure.

Im excited about the nintendo prize pack #1.I grew up playing nintendo and mario was my favourite game.It brings back nostalgia and is fun and easy to play.I like playing alone or with friends.Hope I win!
Personally, the biggest announcement of the year for me was AMD Ryzen 3. The reason for this is that until Ryzen 3 Intel has ruled the roost for gaming PC’s for far too long, and that resulted in some serious stagnation with respect to technological advances (4 core 8 thread processors for years…). Competition is what we as consumers need and clearly Ryzen 3 will bring some much needed competition for the full range of CPU categories, beyond just value for the dollar, but now right up to high end gaming rigs. Intel will be forced to respond and it looks like they have in a way with the announcement of the I9 9900KS, but most importantly consumers will now have a very competitive range of options and that should drive better prices. The other big thing is we have a bit of insight into what the next gen of consoles will be leveraging as their tech will most likely be based off of the same Zen 2 architecture with maybe the odd enhancement thrown in.
Next up Navi and more details at E3, and hopefully some pressure on Nvidia. I’m looking forward to that, and of course the Xbox show, can’t wait to see if there’s any new IP revealed.
Pokémon Sword and Shield!!! Gotta catch them all and the starters are looking fabulous!!! Can’t wait!!!
The Most excited game I’m waiting for: The Avenger game. It was announced by Square Enix.
I’m waiting this game so much, I followed the news about it seens a long time. And I like superhero gamr by incarnate a superhero character in a huge world. Who announcement must be the one that everyone are waiting!
I am excited about the new Navi architecture of GPUs by AMD. It’ll finally bring more competition and choice to a market where Nvidia has mostly dominated.
Really excited for xbox to give more information on a new Halo game because Halo is a personal favorite.
Im excited by the Ubisoft new splinter cell annoncement
Really excited about last of us 2. Huge Naughty Dog fan, and the first one was just amazing.
The other thing I would like to see is triple A titles coming to either PSVR or Oculus Rift. If an immersive story like Last of Us or Days gone hits one of those systems, you better believe I will be lining up for it:)
I’m most excited for Pokemon Sword and Shield announced by Nintendo as its the first real Pokemon game on the switch and my son and I will be playing the separate versions also the added multiplayer raids looked amazing.
I would sure like to see some more Last of Us Part 2 game play. Can’t recall the last time I was so hyped for a game. Give me more!
Looking forward to hearing more about Watch Dogs Legion from Ubisoft. The idea of playing as Non Playable Characters seems impossible, but let’s see how they pull it off!
Final Fantasy 7 Remake finally getting news is the biggest thing for me so far in 2019! One of my favorite games and first RPGs I ever played in my childhood. Been waiting patiently for news since the reveal and it’s finally on it’s way! Hopefully Square Enix can make something old and new fans can love.
It is a common choice, but I am also looking forward to the game Borderlands 3 by Gearbox. I have very much enjoyed the humor and easy playablity of the previous games combined with good story telling. Looking forward to more exploring of Pandora.
I’m super excited for Borderlands 3 by Gearbox Software. I’ve played and beaten all the other borderlands games including the DLCs and they never fail to amuse. From the interesting weapons to the even more interesting characters and commentary Gearbox has truly hit these games out of park and I don’t doubt they’ll do it again!
Well of cause going to be Death Stranding! from the legendary creator Hideo Kojima. Cannot wait till November come and experience the roller coaster story and stunning visual that Kojima production will bring us! Mr Kojima lose everything and with just few years he have a game engine, a studio and bring us this going-to-be incredible game to us. he is such a inspiration to me.
Most excited about Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order that was announced by respawn entertainment, why im excited is because i love star wars and a decent star wars title hasnt been released since the knights of the old republic games and the jedi knight games
I’m the most excited for Square Enix’s Avengers game. Combining the Marvel universe with game styles like Destiny, Anthem, and/or Borderlands is too exciting to turn down. Love the idea of customizing my own hero and saving the world!
Borderlands 3 from Gearbox Software for sure because I have 300 hours on Borderlands 2 and its my favorite game
I’m most excited for EA’s Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, because it could be a huge turning point for SW games. As a huge fan of SW Battlefront 1 & 2 on the PS4, I’d love to dive into a fully realized, single-player adventure and see what tricks are hidden up the developers’ sleeves. I think this game has me so excited because it will be like we take on the role of a Jedi when they’re most vulnerable, which is a unique story unto itself!
Looking forward to hardware announcements.
Pokémon shield (because it’s the year of the shield screw swords)
From game freak coming out on switch this year. Pokémon was the first game I bought with my own money on the gameboy. I had Pokémon blue and would love to start a new adventure with my daughter. Open world Pokémon is something I think we’ve all wanted for years can’t wait to finally play it.
I’m so hyped about the Monster Hunter World Iceborne dlc on the PS4. I have been a long time Monster Hunter fan and both my girlfriend and I really enjoy the franchise. MHW was by far the best release from CAPCOM. This dlc will bring so many new things, and the very nostalgic nargacuga is coming back! Can’t wait to get my hand on it.
Most excited about the game: Marvels Avenger (or The Avenger Project)
Announced by: Square Enix
Reason: customizing superhero and playing in a huge world!! Come on how does one not get super excited!!!
Really excited about the new Star Wars game and I just got the new MLB game which is awesome!!!
The most exciting thing so far about E3 this year is Best Buy is doing an awesome giveaway 😀
I’m Really Excited for Halo Infinite by 343 Industries and Gears of War 5 by the Coalition. I can’t wait for these great games !!
Most excited for the release of Pokemon Sword and Shield by Gamefreak!
Anthem’s announcement in February’ 19 made me super excited, I loved the trailer and wanted to play it, but being in a new country it will take me long to buy a console. I heard about “Anthem” in CES 2019, the manufacturer of the game is BioWare. This is important because I am trying to save up on money to buy a new console and wanted to decide on what new games should I buy. And anthem was one of the games intrigued me a lot. It’s a game. Also, it’s available on Xbox one X which is one of the best gaming consoles in the world. But “Anthem” the game seems super interesting and I would love to play it once at least.
I would love to win the PS4 package, my PS4 recently broke down and I won’t be able to get one for another few weeks tops. Any chance I could win and settle this?
Excited for Super Mario Maker 2 this year from Nintendo! Brings back so many childhood memories!
Looking forward to borderlands 3 by Gearbox Software. Being a vault hunter and looting everything is too exciting! Can’t wait for it to join my collection of B2 and B:TPS!
