Square-Enix also showed and announced many other games:

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

The third game in a reboot that began with 2013's Tomb Raider is slated for release on September 14. The game is titled Shadow of the Tomb Raider. In it, Lara must grappled with the consequences of accidentally inciting the Mayan apocalypse while battling a paramilitary organization.

During its livestream today, Square-Enix emphasized that the combat in the game is more brutal than in any previous game and showed an extended stealth and combat sequence in a dark jungle.

The game will be released on Xbox One, PS4, and Steam.

Just Cause 4

Square-Enix showed a detailed trailer of the Just Cause 4 during its E3 stream today. Set in a fictional South American country with Mayan ruins, wildlife, and large towns, the game promises an overhauled grappling hook that's easier for newcomers to pick up but that allows for more advanced strategies for experienced players.

Players will also be able to use attachable jets and parachutes to transport vehicles, and there are more types of vehicles, too-the trailer showed protagonist Rico smashing a hostile base with a crane, for example.

The game will arrive on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on December 4, 2018.

There were several other announcements, too. We got glimpses at the following:

• Dragon Quest XI is coming on September 4.

• Final Fantasy XIV is getting a new content patch titled Under the Moonlight. It appears to take players to Ivalice, the setting from Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy XII. Square-Enix also presented a Monster Hunter World tie-in with the MMO but didn't get into specifics.

• The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit will be available for free on June 26 on all supported platforms.
• Nier: Automata's DLC-equipped Become as Gods Edition is headed to Xbox One on June 26.
• Throwback Switch RPG Octopath Traveler got some airtime, and it's coming July 13.
