New Xbox hardware could be at E3 2016

E3 2016 kicks off on Sunday and we're going to be seeing plenty from the biggest publishers and games titles for the rest of the year and beyond.

That's not all though, with the latest rumour suggesting that there could be some hardware secrets ready to be revealed. The new report suggests that Microsoft might have something to unveil, and it will probably have the name 'Xbox' on it.

However it's not as simple as expecting the updated Xbox One (or its sequel) as its still very early in the console generation for that. Instead there's a good chance that we could be seeing a new Xbox One slim which would ship later in 2016.

That's no bad thing, especially as the current console is a huge hunk of plastic and noisy to boot. Bringing out a smaller version would be a great move for the company, and the package deal could represent a saving, especially as the company has done away with the ridiculous need for a Kinect sensor as well.

Microsoft hasn't confirmed anything for E3 just yet but we could see some new adventures for Lara Croft confirmed, as it has been 20 years since the franchise was born.

E3 kicks off with EA on the 12th of June, 2016.
