With regard to what we can expect to see during Microsoft's E3 press conference, most of that information comes from rumors and leaks. The only official statement on the matter was tweeted by Microsoft Executive VP of Gaming, Phil Spencer, at the end of May. "We have 14 Xbox Game Studios games in the show this year, more first-party games than we've ever had in the show," he said, suggesting we'll be hearing a lot from Microsoft-owned developers like Ninja Theory, 343 Industries, the Coalition, the Initiative and more.
Leaks, on the other hand, arrived about one week before Spencer's tweet courtesy of NeoGAF user, Braldryr. According to the source, here's a sneak peek at what the hardware maker plans to show.
