I simply adore the weeks leading up to E3. As we get closer to the big show, everyone blessed enough to have an exclusive reveal is getting it prepped and sometimes, if we're lucky, mistakes happen. Today's comes in the form of a Gametrailers splash page (captured by a Joystiq reader) with two previously unannounced titles.
Star Wars 1313 and Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2, both found on Gametrailers earlier this evening, are set to be unveiled on GTTV later tonight. Castlevania is an obvious one. The first Lords of Shadow carried its weight and few would argue that it's deserving of a sequel. The Star Wars title, however, is a bit of a mystery. My de facto response when it comes to Star Wars is "It's not Battlefront 3," but almost any entry to the universe is welcome. Joystiq suggested that 1313 refers to Boba Fett and, with no logical alternative, I'm inclined to agree. It may not be Battlefront, but damn.. I love Boba Fett.
GTTV goes live at 1:00am eastern.
