The 23rd annual E3 expo wrapped up on Thursday and saw a flurry of announcements that left fans gasping with excitement as they exited the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Today we take a look at the top five announcements coming out of Los Angeles.

1. Beyond Good & Evil Prequel

In an announcement that came as a surprise to virtually everyone, not just in Los Angeles but around the world, Ubisoft took to the stage at E3 to officially announce a new Beyond Good & Evil title is coming, serving as a prequel to the 2003 original.

Having earned a cult-following over the years, despite it’s somewhat lukewarm financial performance, Beyond Good & Evil 2 was finally confirmed as in production following several years of rumour and speculation. No release date or window was announced, nor any plot details, but several main characters were profiled shortly after the announcement.

Social media was abuzz following the announcement,...

Ah, another E3 season is upon us, breathe it in. Just like the last 2 years, Cinelinx once again has boots on the ground and it’s time for another of my Recaps, but this time I’m not alone! Please welcome the newest member of the Cinelinx E3 Team, Aaron, as we discuss our impressions from Day 1 of the E3 2017 weekend!

Matt’s Takes:

Lines and Lines and Lines of EA Play: Just like last year, Electronic Arts kicked off the E3 season with their brand-new presentation format, EA Play. Unlike last year, they invited way more people than they could actually fit. Hundreds of people from around the world flocked to the Hollywood Palladium, creating a line that made circles around the entire event area. Despite many tickets registered and press access received, many members of the gaming community were turned away after waiting in line for countless hours.

For those who are not entirely into the whole sports gaming thing, the EA Play roster from yesterday was a mixed bag. It's not like those games aren't fun but unless you're particularly fascinated with all the largely unneeded updates they've done for the gameplay - which is deserving respect and admiration up to a point - there isn't much imagination to glean from the games, let alone trailers for those games. Expectations are high for Anthem and Battlefront 2 (and I guess some people were very interested in A Way Out) but otherwise, sights were set …...

During their EA Play event at E3, EA – in partnership with Hazelight – announced A Way Out, a new EA Originals game coming from the creative minds behind the critically-acclaimed indie title, Brothers – A Tale of Two Sons. Coming early 2018, A Way Out is a co-op only game uniquely tailored for two players to work together no matter the situation.

Through a compelling narrative, Leo and Vincent will embark on an emotional adventure, where they will live some memorable action moments that they will face together including car chases, stealth passages, melee fights, shootouts and many more. The story of A Way Out begins in prison with two separate inmates, Leo and Vincent, who don’t know each other. While their individual stories progress, players will have to build a relationship based on trust as they break both men out of prison into the world beyond. This co-op only experience is...

A new co-op adventure game from the makers of the BAFTA award-winning Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons was officially unveiled yesterday.

Unveiled during EA’s E3 press conference, the title, A Way Out, is set for release in early 2018 and will be a uniquely tailored co-op only game for two players.

It follows the lives of two prison inmates, Leo and Vincent, strangers to one-another. Both players have to build a relationship between the two inmates and successfully break both men out of prison.

“Josef and his team at Hazelight represent everything that EA Originals stands for,” said Patrick Soderlund, Executive Vice President of EA Worldwide Studios.

“They are a small and very talented group with a vision and passion for a game that is truly unique in the video game industry. A Way Out is going to surprise people with its innovative co-op gameplay and the way it...

A Way Out is a new indie co-op game that is played entirely in split screen either online, or in couch co-op.

The game comes from the same studio that brought us Brothers – A Tale of Two Sons. The game is played entirely in co-op meaning you always have someone working alongside you, and you get to see their screen. This leads to a lot of unique situations allowing you to accomplish different areas of the game in ways you decide. Each character has unique "perks" about them that allow certain situations to unravel differently based on the players actions.

“This game is going to bring a co-op experience unlike anything you have ever seen before,” said Josef Fares, Writer and Director at Hazelight. “The idea for A Way Out came when me and a friend tried to find a story driven co-op game that wasn’t a drop-in/drop-out experience.

EA kicked off this year’s E3 with their EA Play press conference showing off some of their upcoming games. Anticipation was high considering some of the high profile franchises expected to be demonstrated such as Star Wars: Battlefront 2, FIFA 18 and Need for Speed: Payback.

Alongside these we were given a first glimpse of some new IPs including A Way Out from the makers of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and Bioware’s Anthem. Gameplay demos of a very Fast & Furious-esque Need for Speed: Payback and Star Wars: Battlefront 2 gave us a clearer indication of what gamers were in for over the coming months.
