Android Authority’s favorite announcements from E3 2019
July 01, 2025
E3 2019 finally came to a close on Thursday. Although there weren’t any new gaming consoles on display this year, there were a lot of exciting announcements.
While Android Authority primarily focuses on Android, we obviously have a number of gamers here atAndroid Authority. WIth that in mind, we thought we’d do a special post about our favorite announcements at this year’s biggest gaming conference. We’ve compiled our favorite moments (spoiler alert: none of them are mobile), and listed them below.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel
Without a doubt, the game we are most excited for here at Android Authority is the Breath of the Wild sequel. The trailer above doesn’t give much away, but it appears that Ganondorf, the King of Thieves, is set to make his return.
There’s a lot to be excited about here. We now know that the game will take place in the same world as the original, and there’s a real possibility that Zelda herself will finally be a playable character.
Here’s what the team had to say about the Breath of the Wild announcement:
Cyberpunk 2077
Next on our list is CD Projekt’s Cyberpunk 2077. An already hyped game was taken even further by the surprising (and breath-taking) appearance of Keanu Reeves on stage.
The game wasfirst teased way back in January 2013(that’s before the announcement of the PS4, for reference), but we finally have a release date. It’s scheduled for release on August 22, 2025, which is a full 57 years ahead of schedule for those keeping score.
Here’s what we had to say about Cyberpunk 2077:
Xbox Project Scarlett
Microsoft might not have had a console on display, but they did tease their upcoming hardware under the code name Project Scarlett. It’s four times as powerful as current-gen consoles, and promises to all but eliminate load times in games. Plus, it supports ray tracing at 8K 120 FPS.
The new console is coming in late 2020, but this October Microsoft will begin testing its cloud streaming service,Project xCloud. Not only will it allow you to stream games from the cloud, you’ll also be able to stream from your own console. Time will tell how it stacks up againstGoogle Stadiain the upcoming stream wars.

Here’s what we had to say about Microsoft’s E3 2019 announcements:
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
E3 2019 featured yet another Star Wars title, this time taking place between the two trilogies. in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order you play as Cal Kestis, who is on the run from the Empire after escaping the fallout of Order 66.
Respawn’s title features all the cool lightsaber and force tricks you’d expect from a Star Wars game. The gameplay trailer even showed a KX-series droid (made famous by the sassy K-2SO in Star Wars: Rogue One).
Resident Star Wars fanatic Jimmy Westenberg was most excited for this one.
Ghostwire: Tokyo
There wasn’t a lot of big news out of Bethesda’s E3 event, but one game that got our attention is Ghostwire: Tokyo. It’s the latest spooky thriller from Tango Gameworks, which was founded by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami after leaving Capcom.
Not much is known about its gameplay, but Ghostwire: Tokyo is centered around the mysterious disappearance of thousands (if not millions) of people, leaving behind piles of empty clothing in the streets of Tokyo. Unlike Resident Evil and The Evil Within, this game is less about survival and more about action. The trailer finishes with tagline “Don’t fear the unknown. Attack it”.
But what really captured the hearts of the millions of internet denizens wasIkumi Nakamura’s bubbly demeanor. Ollie Cragg says it best:
Honorable mentions
