The Microsoft E3 Conference 2019 starts today, June 9, and promises to include a lot exciting video game news.
Much of this will be centered around the Xbox One, but there will also third-party partners offering news on games coming to Xbox, PS4 and Switch.
And of course, there has been a lot of speculation surrounding Microsoft’s Project Anaconda.
For those that don’t know, Project Anaconda is rumoured to be one of two new consoles being released next year.
Project Anaconda will be the more powerful model, offering upgrades above the base Xbox Two machine being worked on by Microsoft.
The tech giant is probably aiming to release the most powerful console on the market again, however, they will face a lot of competition from Sony PlayStation.
Today’s E3 Conference should include news regarding the next Xbox console being released by Microsoft.
This will likely include specs and features, as well as whatever Microsoft has planned for their new streaming service, Project xCloud.
What we can’t predict is if Microsoft will announce a full release date or if they will just look to tease their new console.
And we also don’t know if we will learn the full names of the next Xbox gaming machines.
Project Anaconda is just a code name and will be replaced by the time the console hits the market.

The new Xbox E3 showcase is scheduled to begin at 1pm, PST, and will be broadcast across Mixer and YouTube.
