The planned E3 2019 announcements by publisher Bandai Namco have been leaked before the annual entertainment event, revealing three unannounced games.

The three spoiled titles are the rumored collaboration between From Software and Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin, a new entry in the long-running Tales series, and a remastered version of Ni No Kuni.

The leaked information and screenshots were acquired from links on a publicly accessible URL, hosted on Bandai Namco’s servers, that listed the three games, according to Gematsu.

The first leaked game is Elden Ring, developed by From Software for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

The world of Elden Ring was created by Martin and Hidetaka Miyazaki, the man behind the Dark Souls series. Not much was revealed for the game beyond the title and its creepy logo, and that “danger and discovery lurk around every corner.”

The second game revealed is Tales of Arise, which will also be released PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Tales of Arise will be the latest entry in the Tales franchise, following 2017’s Tales of Berseria. It was described as a “dynamic action RPG” with an updated battle system that retains the classic gameplay from previous Tales games.

The third game is Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, which will be remastered for the PlayStation 4 and PC and re-released for the Nintendo Switch.

Ni No Kuni, which is set to launch this fall, will receive a resolution upscale and improved performance for the PlayStation 4 and PC, while the Nintendo Switch version will be the same game without the upgrades. It will feature visuals created by the infamous Studio Ghibli, as well as a battle system that combines real-time and turn-based tactical elements.

While these three games have been leaked, the Bandai Namco announcements for E3 2019 are still worth waiting for, as the publisher may have more up its sleeve.

Publishers with planned press conferences at E3 2019 include Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Square, Enix, Devolver Digital, and Nintendo, with Sony skipping the event for the first time ever. Meanwhile, our E3 2019 games roundup lists what we expect to be featured at the annual event.

How to hack in Fallout 4
A computer terminal in Fallout 4.

No matter what perks or skills your character has in Fallout 4, hacking will always come down to your ability as a player. There's no way to cheat the system here, and if you don't grasp what the game is asking you to do, you're mostly out of luck. Terminals will hide great loot behind their cryptic puzzles, as well as allow you to take over certain controls to turn your enemy's security against them. Some have very interesting logs about certain characters or events for all you lore junkies out there. Hacking has tons of uses, so let's brush up on your computer skills and give you a refresher on how to hack in Fallout 4.
How to hack in Fallout 4
When you first interact with a terminal to hack in Fallout 4, it will be a little overwhelming. As long as you have a high enough hacking skill to attempt a hack, you can go right into the minigame.

The basic idea of hacking is to find words hidden in that jumble of letters and symbols. Your goal is to find the correct word to crack the terminal before you run out of attempts. Once you find any word and select it, the terminal will tell you how close that word is to the correct one based on how many letters it has in the same space as the answer in the form of a likeness rating. The higher the rating, the more letters it has in common. It is somewhat similar to Wordle, only you don't type in the words yourself.

Best PS5 SSD deals: Add more storage to your PS5 from $120
A 2TB WD Black

When the PlayStation 5 was originally released, it had the option to expand its internal memory, which was quite small at the time at a little under 900GBs. Of course, the issue is that there weren't any SSDs that worked on the new standard the PS5 was using, so even if you wanted to upgrade, you couldn't. Luckily, since then, there have been a lot of great SSDs for the PS5 that have been released, and upgrading its storage is pretty easy and can be done by pretty much anybody, provided they have a screwdriver. So, whether you picked up a PS5 from one of the PS5 deals or already have a PS5 and want to upgrade, be sure to check out the SSDs that will work great for your PS5 below.
Our favorite PS5 SSD deal

It wasn't that long ago that you'd have to pay well over $100 to get an SSD for your PS5, and often, it'd be slower than the pricier alternatives. These days, you can buy a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB SSD with heatsink for just $120 from Best Buy, thereby saving $45 off the regular price of $165. The SSD offers speedy performance while also having its own nickel-coated high-end controller to help deliver effective thermal control. It means it won't overheat and performance won't be compromised. Being a PCIe Gen 4 SSD, you get twice the data transfer speed of PCIe Gen 3 which is useful. Offering maximum read speeds of 7,000 megabytes per second, it's a good upgrade to go alongside your existing hard drive with 1TB offering plenty of extra space at a shrewd price.
