As usual, next week's Electronic Entertainment Expo will be home to dozens of new game announcements from the industry's biggest publishers. This week, though, is when a lot of those announcements actually leak out publicly before their official, splashy reveals at the show. There's only one problem: amid the credible rumors about upcoming games are a bunch of completely wild guesses from a hyped-up gaming public.

How do you separate the reliable information from the uninformed conjecture? That's what we're here for! Below, we take a look at some of the most interesting E3 rumors floating around and analyze the available evidence to determine just how likely these murmurings are. (This list doesn't include the many games at the show that have already been announced or shown previously.) Take a look, and keep an eye out when we cover all the official announcements from the E3 show floor next week.

The Rumor: Watch Dogs 2

The Evidence: This actually isn't really a rumor anymore, since Ubisoft has confirmed the game will be part of its press conference. Even before that revelation, industry insiders reported getting Watch Dogs 2 promotional items in the mail, which was a pretty strong sign that the title was on the way.

More recently, though, Eurogamer managed to snag a screengrab of a leaked IGN ad for the game, which shows a November 15 release date and a San Francisco setting. We'll probably get confirmation on those details when Ubisoft posts a promised trailer on Wednesday evening.

The Chances: At this point, the existence of the game itself isn't a rumor, and even the release date and setting seem pretty solid. We're going with 100 percent.

The Rumor: Dead Rising 4

The Evidence: A purported poster and a few screenshots for the game were posted on ThisGenGaming. While not exactly a well-known or reliable source, true information has come from less likely places in the past. Kotaku claims to have seen "another shot of that same poster from a different source, which helps corroborate the leak." A NeoGAF poster with a reputation for reliable leaks also tweeted about the game as a remake of the original Dead Rising with four-player co-op.

The Chances: There's enough smoke here that there's probably some fire—95 percent.

The Rumor: Injustice 2

The Evidence A poster teasing a sequel for the 2013 superhero fighting game was apparently sent to GameStop managers and employees today, leading to tweeted pictures and confirmation of the essential information from both Eurogamer and Polygon. Injustice producer Ed Boon also posted a suggestive roman numeral "II" on his Twitter page recently, and a French website reported a planned May 2017 release date for the game a week ago.

The Chances: The 2013 original saw pretty good sales in the US, and the information seems solid—95 percent.

The Rumor: Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor sequel

The Evidence: The title appeared briefly on the online resume for stuntwoman Lauren Kim months ago before being removed (screengrab).

The Chances: The first game was decently popular and had a unique gameplay system that Warner Bros. would probably like to get more mileage out of. The resume leak suggests work is progressing at pace. We'll rate this pretty high at 80 percent.

The Rumor: Resident Evil 7

The Evidence: Japanese industry analyst Dr. Serkan Toto tweeted the game's existence and E3 plans last month and also suggested that Capcom has hired Kojima Productions' Jordan Amaro (MGS V, PT) to work on the new horror game.

The Chances: Toto is well sourced in the Japanese industry and generally reliable with this kind of information. The game could exist and still not yet be ready for E3, though. We'll put this at a somewhat conservative 70 percent.

The Game: God of War sequel

The Evidence: A cache of concept art showing a bearded Kratos showed up on the website of a former Sony Santa Monica artist and dribbled out via now-defunct site NerdLeaks (since removed). Polygon later confirmed that "the artwork is legitimate." And series Creative Director Cory Barlog said back in 2014 that work was being done on a new game in the series.

The chances: That Sony is planning to do something with one of its most popular franchises seems like a no-brainer. That it will be ready for E3 seems less certain. We'll rank it at 50 percent.

The Rumor: Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Remastered, The Evil Within 2, Wolfenstein: The New Order 2 and Prey 2

The Evidence: Eurogamer lays out all the whispering about a remastered Skyrim for current consoles, which comes via Japanese podcasts, German websites, and GAF postings from purported insiders. Eurogamer also says that it "understands this rumour to be true."

While Bethesda has already announced Dishonored 2, concrete info on its other purported sequels is hard to come by. Another Wolfenstein seems like a no-brainer after the success of the last one (and this suggestive leak from a voice actress), and The Evil Within sold pretty well for a survival horror game. While a Prey 2 project was officially cancelled in 2014, Bethesda might be interested in starting fresh and revamping the brand.

The Chances: The Skyrim remaster is well-sourced enough that it seems exceedingly likely to happen, 90 percent or so. Wolfenstein and The Evil Within seem relatively likely at 70 percent. Prey 2 is more of a long shot... 40 percent.

The Rumor: Red Dead Redemption sequel/remaster?

The Evidence: A random Redditor posted a single screenshot of a shiny-looking Red Dead setting that was purportedly discovered with some URL hacking on a badly coded section of the Rockstar website. Some think it's a shot of an old Red Dead Redemption locale remastered for a new engine. Others think it might be an early "work in progress" shot from the original game. Some think it's an entirely new game.

A few months ago, a supposed map of the new Red Dead's setting was briefly posted on NeoGAF. That map was then confirmed by "a source close to the development of the new Red Dead game" speaking to TechRadar, who also said the game will be a prequel. That's still pretty iffy, but it's more convincing than a single screenshot.

The Chances: The information that's out there is pretty thin at the moment, and there's not much indication the game is ready for E3 just yet, even if it does exist. It's not impossible that there will be an E3 surprise, but we'll only give it a 15 percent chance.
