E3 2021 is arriving virtually on June 12, 2021. After the event failed to take place in 2020 due to the COVID pandemic, fans excitedly await what developers have in store for them. Out of all the showcase events that will be happening, there is a lot of hype around Xbox and Bethesda’s joint event.
Halo Infinite and Starfield are already two titles that will headline Microsoft and Bethesda’s showcase. However, two games will not be enough to entice fans, especially from a studio like Xbox. Fortunately, the gaming giants do not plan to disappoint fans. In fact, according to leaks and rumors, Xbox is planning to launch as many as 5 AAA titles at E3 2021.

One of the most-awaited games that Microsoft plans to announce at E3 2021 is Forza Horizon 5. There have been countless rumors surrounding the latest edition of the popular automobile game—most of these point towards the game releasing later this year. Therefore, many believe that it has to be one out of the 5 AAA titles Xbox will display at the virtual event.
Next in line is something known as ‘Project Omen’. The title is being developed by Arkane Studios Austin, which has previously worked on Dishonored and Prey. Now, it is working on another AAA title that involves vampires and has a release date of late 2022. However, Xbox might have to push it to early 2023, considering Starfield is also going to release in Q4 2022. Regardless, players will at least see the first look at E3.
Jez Corden fuels rumors around the third possible title that Xbox might announce at E3. He previously teased a game with the typhoon emoji, and thus, ‘Project Typhoon’ is also something fans can expect.
