While Epic has not given any clues as to any new announcements that may be in its stream on the 11th, it recently made a statement to PC Gamer that we should expect to see more Epic Games Store exclusives. in the future.

“We have more exclusives coming over the next two years than we have released to date,” a company representative told PC Gamer, responding to a report that the multitude of exclusives window seemed to have calmed down lately.

Exclusives have also been a major revenue driver for the storefront in the past, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see some new announcements in this direction on the storefront next week. It’s also possible that we will see previews of exclusives already announced for the store that have not yet released – which could include games such as The Wolf Among Us 2, Jett: The Far Shore, Darkest Dungeon 2, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, or upcoming titles from Ubisoft (which usually also launch on the Ubisoft Store) or Remedy.
