Ni No Kuni’s E3 2012 trailer reveals January 22 release date
Gamers everywhere were pretty distraught when Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, the Namco Bandai-published PS3 collaboration between Level-5 and Studio Ghibli, was delayed from late 2012 to early 2013. Thankfully, the new year will only be three weeks old when we finally get a chance to play it. An E3 trailer for Ni No Kuni was released by Namco Bandai ahead of the big show and it confirms a January 22, 2013 release date for the game.
If you’re a fan of gorgeous animation, you owe it to yourself to watch the trailer above.

People Can Fly developing next Gears of War game
People Can Fly, the team behind last year’s underloved shooter Bulletstorm, have been named as the developer of the next Gears of War game.
Taking to Twitter, Mike Capps, President of Epic Games, had this to say about the game’s development:
RT “@stephentotilo: @adrianchm Do I detect People Can Fly involvement?” YES YES YES!
While it’s possible this is a fakeout, People Can Fly have been rumored to be involved with a “Gears of War prequel” for a while now. But we’ll find out for sure this Monday during Microsoft’s E3 2012 Press Conference.

Hitman: Absolution’s E3 2012 trailer is nun-tastic
Agent 47 is hurt and he’s holed up in some fleabag motel. A visit from a group of wandering nuns is probably just what he needs. But then the nuns drop their habits, revealing fetish gear and a small arsenal of guns and heavy ordinance. I guess it’s just another day at the office for ol’ barcodehead.
Hitman: Absolution will be on display at next week’s E3 Expo and will be released for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on November 20.
Criterion-developed Need For Speed: Most Wanted confirmed as next NFS game
EA has been teasing the next Need For Speed game over the last few weeks, and today they’ve confirmed that it’ll be titled Need For Speed: Most Wanted. This won’t be the first Need For Speed game to carry that title. Another “Most Wanted” game was released in 2005 for the GameCube, PC, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360.
This new version will be developed by Criterion (makers of the Burnout series and Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit) and will make its public debut at next week’s E3 Expo. To get you geared up for that reveal, EA has released a single screenshot of the game, which you can see on the right.
We’ll have more on Need For Speed: Most Wanted next week.

First Injustice trailer, screenshots released
A day after the announcement of their first non-Mortal Kombat game in a long time, NetherRealm Studios has released the first trailer and screenshots for Injustice: Gods Among Us. And what do you know, it looks just like Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, just minus the Mortal Kombat characters.
Not that that’s a bad thing of course.
Injustice: Gods Among Us will be released for the PS3, Wii U, and Xbox 360 sometime next year. You can check out the first screenshots after the break. (more…)
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 confirmed with teaser trailer
A massive army of armor-clad knights attempts to storm Castlevania as Dracula broods inside. Rather than wait for them, he floats onto the battlefield in a smoky fog and unleashes a whip attack made of vampiric energy to fell the knights. He even manages to defeat some kind of medieval Transformer. Just when he think he’s won, a “mysterious stranger” with flowing white hair and a huge sword enters the battlefield.
That’s how Konami announced Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. And the debut trailer for the Mercury Steam-developed game is even better if you view it yourself.

Star Wars 1313 will explore the seedy underbelly of Coruscant
Starkiller was a brutally efficient assassin in his quest to serve Darth Vader as an apprentice, but LucasArts’ next Star Wars project might go further into “mature themes” than the Sith Lord-in-training ever did. Star Wars 1313 is set to make its full debut during next week’s E3 Expo, but we do know it’ll star a bounter hunter and delve into Coruscant’s criminal underground:
Named for Level 1313, a ruthless criminal underground deep below the surface of the planet of Coruscant, the game puts players in control of a deadly bounty hunter as he uses an arsenal of exotic weaponry to hunt down his marks and uncover the truth surrounding a criminal conspiracy. Star Wars 1313 emphasizes epic set pieces and fast-paced combat with a hero who uses human skills and gadgets, rather than supernatural Force powers, to make his way through this dangerous world.
I wonder if the “Death Stick Dealer” from Episode II will make an appearance.

Lara Croft raids her first tomb on March 5, 2013
“I hate tombs.”
It sounds like Lara Croft’s “female Indiana Jones” schtick hasn’t yet become her day job in this E3 2012 trailer for the rebooted Tomb Raider. The PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 game is now set for a March 5, 2013 and it looks to pack a punch. Lara’s “first adventure” is all about surviving this tomb raid and some of the action setpieces look like they would make Nathan Drake have a panic attack.
