The highly expected E3 2019 already started, but the most significant announcements are just about to come. This year, E3 is going to be quite a different show than fans are used to. But we know one thing for sure, namely Xbox fans will have quite a lot to look forward to. Huge titles such as Gears 5, Halo Infinite, Borderlands 3, and many others are most probably going to be unveiled.
To know what to anticipate, we put together a few of the biggest Xbox games confirmed to be unveiled at the E3 2019.
Most expected games confirmed to show up at E3 2019
Apex Legends
Apex Legend invaded the battle royale scene back in February when it made an incredible impression, shortly being in the center of attention, with even Fortnite taking a step back. However, after the enormous impact, Apex slowed down some dull first three-month content season and a few technical problems its developer, Respawn, is still working on solving.
Apex’s second content season will start with E3, and fans see another chance for the title. Players can expect at least an additional character, and a brand new gun, with rumors and leaks implying that numerous other changes will be implemented with this new season.
Borderlands 3
Borderlands 3 is among the most waited, also long-waited edition that many fans have been expected. The new Borderlands is a continued tradition of the series, allowing you to to use peculiar guns to collect even more weapons. As of today, there were only two of four new characters unveiled: Amarah the Siren and Zane the Operative. E3 1029 is a perfect moment to reveal the rest of the Vault Hunters and the various changes and details of the game.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019
Activision and Infinity Ward unveiled all sorts of details about the upcoming Call of Duty before E3. This year’s title is going to be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and it will support cross-play between Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. Also, Call of Duty is going to be giving for free all multiplayer maps released after the game’s rollout on October the 25th.
More details of the game will most likely be presented at E3 2019.
Control
Control was one of the dazzling reveals at E3 2018. The game is impressive, with its complicated world, resembling fragments and pieces of Remedy’s earlier supernatural-tinged titles. The lead character, Jesse, has some kind of superhero-like powers, for instance, the ability to slide in the air and manipulate the world around with her mind.
Control looks bizarre, abundant of unusual sights and unexpected bombshells. Its launch is a few months away, and it’s sure to be announced for the last time at E3 before its release.
Doom Eternal
When Bethesda announced a successor to the 2016 Doom, people weren’t too surprised. Doom Eternal is at them moment being worked on for almost all the modern platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, PC, and Stadia.

Halo: Infinite
Since its unveiling at E3 2018, there weren’t many details surfaced on the web regarding the game.
