E3 2019: Tokyo RPG Factory’s Next Game’s Release Date Confirmed
Tokyo RPG Factory’s next game Oninaki finally has a confirmed release date. Announced earlier this year, the game is set to launch on August 22, 2019.
Oninaki is the latest game from Tokyo RPG Factory, a Square Enix studio committed to creating classic-style RPGs. Unlike the studio’s previous work on games like I am Setsuna and Lost Sphear–which utilized the active time battle system made famous by classic Square Enix RPGs–Oninaki is an action-RPG.
The game’s combat revolves around exploring an ethereal realm and saving lost souls, which each grants you unique attacks and abilities in turn. As protagonist Kagachi, you explore the realms of life and death to accomplish this philanthropic goal. All the while, you’re exposed to an even more profound mystery within the realms you explore.
Oninaki will release on PS4, Switch, and PC. For the latest news, previews, and gameplay from E3 2019, be sure to check our E3 hub. If you’re interested in the other press conference, be sure to check out our full E3 2019 press conference schedule.

E3 2019: Marvel’s Avengers Finally Gets A Trailer, And It’s Still Unclear What The Game Is
During E3 2019, Square Enix finally released a trailer for the long-awaited Marvel’s Avengers. The trailer did have some gameplay, but it’s still not very clear what the game is.
There are definitely moments of action in the trailer. We see Iron Man dodge missiles and fire his repulsers at tanks, Hulk smash those same tanks, and then Thor calling down the lightning. Captain America and Black Widow then took out the surviving grunts. But the action seems restricted to a single forward plane. The characters aren’t moving around a massive space and seem confined to tackling enemies and obstacles in a very specific order. It was difficult to tell.
The story was a bit more clear at least. The trailer showcases Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Black Widow become ostracized from society after failing in a mission that costs the lives of hundreds of innocents. However, the world still needs avenging and so the group decides to unite one more time.

E3 2019: Outriders Revealed, New Co-Op Action-Shooter From Bulletstorm Devs
During the Square-Enix E3 2019 press conference, the publisher unveiled the debut trailer for Outriders, the next game from Bulletstorm developers People Can Fly. This isn’t the first time we have heard of the game, as Square-Enix offered up some teases of the game in the weeks leading up E3. On Twitter, the publisher posted a mysterious video of a character awakening from Cryostasis. There wasn’t much to make from the short tease then, but we now know what it’s about.
At the press conference, studio head of People Can Fly, Sebastian Wojciechowski took to the stage to talk about what the game us all about. Outriders is a co-op action shooter set in a hard sci-fi universe. Taking place on the planet Enoch, a ragtag crew of fighters work together to battle hordes of enemies. While you can play solo, the game also features drop-in, drop-out co-op play–letting up to 3 players take part in the various missions and events on the planet.
According to the developers, it’s a game that they wanted to make for a long time, which pulls upon their years of experience making shooters. In a press release for Outriders, the CEO of People Can Fly, described the game as being a fairly ambitious project, which totally seems to be in the developer’s wheelhouse.
“Outriders is the game that we have been wanting to make for years,” said Wojciechowski. “We’re very happy to be working with Square Enix on this project, it’s a big undertaking for us and the team has grown considerably to work on the Outriders project. We now have over 200 developers at four international studios working on this project to make it our most ambitious shooter to date. We’re very excited to finally unveil Outriders to the world, and we can’t wait to show you more of the game.”
There’s much more to see from E3 2019. For more on Outriders and other games that we saw from the Square Enix press conference, please check back with GameSpot on our hub page.
