<p>Just a month after the release of their last teaser trailer, EA draws us in some more with yet another--to be generous--"mystifying" showcase. So while it follows the theme of not-so revealing presentations, EA does at least tell us about their next-level destructible environments, movable artillery, and a possible Battle Royale mode. Their EA Play has also gotten some good feedback, with reviewers commenting on gameplay changes like aided health-regen and squadmate revival that encourage more team-based interactions. Starting on a good direction for the Battlefield franchise, it's set to release this October 19th.</p>

<h2>7. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/red-dead-redemption-2/">Red Dead Redemption 2</a></h2>

Upgrading their <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/fallout-4/">Fallout 4</a> mechanics and slightly leaning towards the Battle Royale trend, discover the post apocalyptic West Virginia along with your friends as you slay monsters and fellow survivors alike. The game also has a single-player option, for all you loners out there, but shoot-outs and basebuilding just seems like a "more the merrier" kinda thing. Four times bigger and coming out sooner than expected, it's set to release on November 14th, 2018.</p>

<h2>9. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/ace-combat-skies-unknown/">Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown</a></h2>

Leaked last March, Ubisoft's first look at the game brings us to the nation's post apocalyptic Capital.

So good that even Walmart Canada couldn't keep a secret, Bethesda's showcase gave a special look at what they call "the most insane open world shooter yet."

<p>Rising up to become one of Microsoft's top series, Gears 5 is slowly taking on the form of a full-blown franchise. Jebaited with a cutesy Funko Pop title and a turn-based strategy in the exclusive Gears Tactics, Microsoft ultimately rolled out the red carpet for their gorgeous grisly shooter. Boasting amped up visuals and, to the dismay of the Twitch and Youtube chat, a female protagonist, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/the-coalition/">The Coalition</a>'s Gears 5 is prepping you up for a badass new round of locust destruction. No word on new game modes or co-op though. Coming sometime in 2019.</p>
