Rumor: Square to reveal three new games before E3

Gameplayer is claiming that Japanese publishing giant Square Enix will be announcing three new titles prior to E3 early next month, two of which will be released for multiple consoles.

Why unveil the games before rather than at the show, you ask? Simple – Square will not be holding a press conference at the Los Angeles-based event, presumably as a result of the company’s decision to limit its attendance at the show as a result of the outbreak of Swine Flu.

Details on the mystery titles are understandably sketchy right now, though whatever the company has up its sleeve is surely to be worth the wait. Stay tuned for more info as it breaks.

    no one going for the 1st? I let this artical sit here for a few mins... nevermind.

    So then on with the news, 3 titles on the way, woo!

    My guesses:

    1. Japanese-developed title aimed at western audience that doesn't want westernised Japanese games. Demoralised team, probably not a good game.
    2. Western-developed title aimed at western audience, 50/50 chance of being decent.
    3. Japanese-developed title aimed at Japanese audience with natural appeal to western audience that might actually be decent.

    too many projects, maybe if they complete game by game or at least less than like 7 at a time so it doesnt take 5years to make...

    idk

    1 for the 360 .1 for the DS. 1for the Wii.

    They already confirmed months ago that they were working on a new action game for the 360. Their new studio in Cali. were recruiting ppl with experience working on the 360.

    Maybe the exclusive one is the MMO SE announced back then exclusivly for the X360. Although i don't think that M$ is that much interested in an MMO but more into something to counter the exclusive FFVS13. Oh well, guess we have to wait to find out.

    I don't want anymore new titles from SE atm, I'd rather they just concentrate on what they are already working on and give us a ton of new media on them..

    Square is a joke, Sony and Playstation makes them who they are and then they just take a huge crap on them. F U Square

    Who cares, it is squre-enix the worst japanese developer. They have not made a AAA title for a few years now.

    Kingdom Hearts 3....

    ....I hope

    Well yeah the new MMO will be shown they have already said at E3 theyd be showing it off so thatll be one since no longer doin the conference thing.  As for the other games I am willing to say one will be Kingdom Hearts 3 which should be the one thats not multi but thats easily changed now a days.  As for last game, it could be a new game or a remake or an older series cause theyve redone FF: Tactics and upgraded some of the older FF games at past E3s so it could go that route again and it could wind up being the exclusive title to the DS like the last couple have been.  But we shall find out soon enough.

    so? SE will announce three new titles that won't come out for another three years.

  29. TheTruth97

    • 2:22pm EDT - May 25th, 2009

    hope fully KH3

  30. Majin187

    • 2:52pm EDT - May 25th, 2009

    if 2 of the 3 are multiplatform then i bet the last one is a 360 exclusive

    • 3:02pm EDT - May 25th, 2009

    Swine Flu... Please, give me a break. That can't be their excuse. Lack of viewable content, budget restraints... that's a more realistic reason.

    As long it's a JRPG for the PS3, I don't really care. btw What happened to Last Remnant?

  33. NDGO

    • 7:37pm EDT - May 25th, 2009

    360, 360, and multiplat

    Hmph ! Square haven't been that great after merging with Enix so it's no surprise that the quality of these games are worsening. For no good reason why focus building on the western market again the quality worsens why?

  35. chomperbull

    • 9:15pm EDT - May 25th, 2009

    hopefully they'll announce parasite eve3 as a ps3 exclusive!!!

  36. CSZ002

    • 1:33am EDT - May 26th, 2009

    one was already announced i think, i read from n4g.com, one is a hack-and-slash game. Really weird of Square Enix to go into, but lets see if the previews are good.

  37. jello_snake

    • 2:09am EDT - May 26th, 2009

    probably another ds/wii crossover game.
