Will we get any news or gameplay at e3 this year?
Nothing to see at E3 2018 according to this article.
According to this post (it's in Spanish, but the screenshot which is refering to in the article is in English): somosxbox.com/ace-combat-7-skies-unknown-podria-haberse-retrasado-otra-vez/783705
AC7 might have been delayed to February 2019. What is weird is that I've checked Amazon myself. On the US store, the release date that appears is December 31th, 2018, both for XBone and PS4, but on the Spanish store, it's November 30th.
I suppose that it's because no official fixed date has been announced, but...
Anyhow, I guess we just can wait until the end of E3, maybe it is announced by Sony or Microsoft at some point (which would be weird, but who knows...)
Well, XBox had their conference on Sunday, and Sony had theirs 9pm EST, no mention at all. Which means that it would be up to Bandai Namco to do something on their own, which is highly unlikely. So, no AC7 at E3 this year it seems. As for a release date, it seems inevitable that an announcement will show up sometime soon saying it's been pushed back to 2019. Not having anything to show for E3 tells me they're either in some sort of production delay, or they're just that swamped with things to do - neither is a particularly encouraging sign for a game that was supposed to be nearly done at this point based on their own projections of a release. That said, they very well could still release this year. It's entirely possible. But the odds of that aren't looking too great, given the complete radio silence for months now, and pulling a complete no-show at the gaming event of the year, where they showed off the game last year.
As for the supposed Spanish site info, take it with a grain of salt. I believe a similar site originally "scooped" the fact the game was being made, but had it coming out two years ago. I'm also relatively certain another site, also in Spanish, said it was coming out last holiday season. Every year there seems to be a site alleging the game will be out for the holiday season or early in the new year. Assuming the game is ever released, they'll eventually be right.
Here's the news we've all been waiting for...
