Tamagotchi Game from Bandai Namco

UP2Play had an interesting list on its website back in March. This list stated that many games like Bloodborne 2 and a new Tamagotchi game for Switch would likely appear at E3. There was a lack of sources or validation (and some games on that list have been confirmed as not appearing at the Expo this year). And even if the Tamagotchi game seems…weird, it’s not impossible. Apparently, the original Tamagotchi has made a comeback in Japan. With the Switch reaching incredible heights in popularity since launch, it wouldn’t be the weirdest idea to have Tamagotchi on there, especially if it wants to cater to the mainstream population. Then again, it still sounds ridiculous so we’re going to wait for E3 to be extra, extra sure.

343 Industries has been busy with Halo Wars 2, which released in February for Xbox One and Windows 10, and while Halo 6 won’t be at E3 2017, it has teased a “little something.” Coupled with rumours of Halo 3 heading to Steam and Halo 3: Anniversary potentially being announced expectations have gone a little nutty.

Community manager Brian Jarrard has confirmed several times already that Halo 3 isn’t heading to Steam and Halo 3: Anniversary won’t be showcased at E3 2017. No big deal – how about a beta for Halo 6 announced at Gamescom to free up space at E3? Unfortunately, Jarrard shut down this sentiment as well, simply replying “Definitely not” on Reddit.

At this point, 343 Industries is going to extreme lengths to keep either Halo 3: Anniversary or Halo 6 a secret. Then again, the most likely conclusion is that neither actually exists or they’re simply not going to be revealed anytime soon.

What could that “little something” at E3 2017 be then? Stay tuned for more information – Microsoft’s E3 presser is on June 11th at 2 AM PST.

This year marks the 10th anniversary for Bungie’s Halo 3. With 343 Industries confirming that it’s showcasing “a little something” at E3 2017 that’s not related to the series’ next mainline entry, many have assumed that Halo 3: Anniversary will be announced.

Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Halo community manager Brian Jarrard already said that Halo 3 wasn’t coming to Steam nor was Halo 3: Anniversary being developed. He took to Reddit again and outright said, “OMG stop. There is no Halo 3 Anniversary.”

While people certainly reserve the right to dream – and who knows what this “little something” could be if not Halo 3: Anniversary? – it seems like it’s not happening. Never say never but the odds aren’t all that great. At least the studio is still hard at work on Halo Wars 2 DLC.
