This year marks the ten year anniversary of EGX and there's going to be a boatload of titles on the show floor. Raiders of the Broken Planet, a 4v1 multiplayer shooter, will be playable at Rezzed, along with Silent Streets, an augmented reality detective game.
Joining them will be 8 games from the National Film and Television School's MA course in Games Design and Development:

Update 1.8 Resistance is set to be the biggest free update so far for The Division. The update will release simultaneously across all platforms sometime this autumn, adding two new game modes and introducing the West Side Pier area. Resistance is a PvE mode that sees up to four players try to survive for as long as they can against waves of various enemy factions, while Skirmish features PvP action with two teams of four pit against each other in a timed deathmatch.
A new social hub area, Camp Clinton, also arrives in the update, and will allow players to find other agents to team up with and tweak their gear before heading into West Side Pier. The update will also introduce some improvements to the Underground DLC, including “a revamp of the rogue mechanics” and an optimised gear system that allows players to improve the stats of their favourite equipment. You can learn more by tuning in to the State of the Game livestream, which takes place tomorrow on Twitch at 4pm UK time. Share your thoughts on the Resistance update below or in the forums. Fatshark have announced plans for a sequel to their rodent-slaying Warhammer title, Vermintide, which has shipped more than a million copies since its initial release two years ago.

Wildcard, the developer of Ark, claim it would "not take more than a few days" to set it up, but Sony aren't behind the idea.
"Look, it's a thing that everybody asks for and everybody wants to do, and we can't really say anything other than what it is. It's easy for us to do technically and it's just policy issues, and until that gets worked out we're not different than any other game, even the big games that want to do it. It's not really something we can solve on our own.
"If all those Ark players want to be satisfied and play together, these cross-network play policy things really need to get sorted out - and then we'll do it. We're really excited about it." "Technically it's doable," added Stieglitz. "There's nothing preventing it. And yes, we have it running internally. We think it's cool and we would like to make it happen, so if the policies change we'd like to be first in line to turn it on. It honestly would not take us more than a few days to enable it." Xbox One and PC owners can't currently play together as the Steam version is incompatible, due to it being a different build, but that will soon change. The feature is being rolled out when the Windows 10 version of the game releases in September. For now the ball is in Sony's court. Would you like to see cross play between Xbox and PS4 come to Ark? Let us know below or over in the forums. Update: It appears that the news was a hoax. According to Forbes, the official statement from a Target spokesman is: “This is not a real product – we’re sorry for any confusion.” Original story follows. A possible leak suggests that the Fallout 4 developer could be working on an adaptation of the popular series.
It would seem to be in Bethesda's wheelhouse if the game is, as most are speculating, an RPG. It's hard to imagine it being anything else.
They were offered the chance previously but were working on Skyrim at the time. It's known that Bethesda have a couple of unannounced titles in development and season 7 of the show has came to a close so, if this turns out to be true, we may get an announcement soon.
