Splinter Cell, Borderlands 3, Rage 2, & More: Walmart Leaks Ahead Of E3
By TJ Denzer ·
A recent new set of placeholders for unannounced games on Wal-Mart's website has gamers wondering if we have a tentative list of what to expect at the Electronic Entertainment Expo.
As we get closer to E3, just about a month away at this point, the gaming community is combing every corner of the internet they can to get a sneak peak at what may be coming. Well, it would appear someone may have dropped the ball at Wal-Mart, or maybe they’re just getting prepped for whatever may come, as a page full of completely unannounced games made its way to the supermarket franchise’s online shop which may hint at what we may see during the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.
It’s quite a list to say the least, only lent credence by the fact that almost certain E3 possibilities like Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, Beyond Good And Evil 2, and Forza Horizon 5 appear on the list. Some other notable entries include Borderlands 3 and Rage 2 both of which have been little more than the wistful desires of players for years.
Though the list is interesting and could indicate some of what’s coming, there are also some notable curiosities on the page that make little to no sense for release anytime soon. The Final Fantasy VII remake appears, which has been in development turmoil and was not expected to come anytime soon. Likewise, 1987 JRPG classic Dragon Quest 2 is on the list for PS4 and Xbox One, which is just fantastic. Is it a remake? Is it Dragon Quest Builders 2, did someone forget a “1” meaning DQ12 is on the way? Who knows?
Regardless of whether the Final Fantasy VII Remake or Dragon Quest 2 are coming soon or not, it's worth noting that Square Enix does have a press conference set aside for its own big announcements at E3.
Also, there’s Switch game not noted on the above page simply called “YOSHI”, and while a new Yoshi-centered game would be neat, there’s no telling what that looks like yet or even if it might be in the works.
This leak can be taken with a grain of salt to say the least, but it should be noted that many of these titles still have active placeholders on Wal-Mart.com even as of this writing. If even a third of it is right (we’re crossing our fingers for Borderlands 3, Rage 2, and Forza Horizon 5), then we can probably look forward to a eventful set of reveals at E3.
