This guide will give you an understanding of what to see, and do in off the beaten track Kalaw, Myanmar. Please note, this is not a "top ten" guide but my experience to show you how you can also enjoy Kalaw. You can watch Myanmar videos here. If you enjoyed it, follow me on my journey!
This pagoda was at the heart of Kalaw. It was just before dinner (more info below) when I went to see it and its shiny exterior made up of thousands of pieces of mirrored glass. Next day, I saw it again but thought it looked better at night.
How extra is that exterior of the monastery? love it! It was also right in town beside the market. (couldn't check out the market as it was shut when I arrived, think after 5 pm). PS: be patience when google maps need few tries to find this spot.
While travelling I like to check out a different range of hotels and this was definitely one of the best in Kalaw. I'm not surprised why this heritage hotel has become a landmark in Kalaw. They also offer wineries tour, cultural sites, market tour, birds safari and hikes.
Now, this is the place to check out if you like to get down and dirty and have a lot of fun. You can experience guided community walks, exploring community homes, milk a cow, feed the chickens and goats, hikes and treks. You can get personal and up close to the local life without comprising on the comfort and luxury. You can read the full review here.
I believe walking is one of the best ways to get to know the new place. Walks around the local area in Kalaw was lovely and quite different than any other Burmese town that I visited. The streets were very clean and there were flowers and vegetables growing in abundance in people's gardens and walkways. I walked all around town, passed the church, monastery, mosque and to the historic train station. Love the look of pine trees scene too.
I was surprised to find the British sport was very much alive in Kalaw. There is 6 famous golf course in Myanmar, out of which 4 are located in Yangon, 1 is in Bagan and last one, 18 hole golf course about an hour and a half drive away from Kalaw. Near Taunggyi, the capital of Shan state. You can hire cubs and balls. Great way to spend a novelty afternoon in Kalaw surrounded by stunning mountains and valleys.
After all the walking around, spa and wellness centre is what I was after. There are a handful of choices in Kalaw but I chose the spa and wellness centre in the hotel- Kalaw hill lodge. They offer Swedish massage, oil, Ayurvedic massage, Burmese massage, body and foot scrubs, facials, manicures and pedicures. The prices were reasonable and I couldn't be happier getting pampered in the middle of the mountain setting.
If you know me, you know I love some MOMO which is Nepali dumpling dish. But was slightly disappointed to know it had to be pre-order 24 hours in advance. So, I ordered the rice with mutton curry. To my surprise, it came with all the side dishes and they would refill it without extra charge. Happy to report the food was amazing and the staffs were polite and friendly.
I believe all paths lead to food. Travelling to remote places isn't always easy but when you find the best organic breakfast in 3 days, am all smiles. I also love the idea of this bakery. They are helping the community by training the local Kalaw youth and giving them jobs. Perhaps you would be able to check out their recent addition to the cafe and bakery – eco shop and yoga classes. I hope this blog post gave you an idea of what to see and do in Kalaw, Myanmar.

The massage and spa looks right up my street. It looks like you had such a great time exploring all this place has to offer!
Wow I love the gorgeous buildings. I think I would definitely check out the food though, trying something new in a new country is always a good idea!
My goodness! I never realized that Myanmar is so beautiful! Now, I am including it in my bucket list. At last, it's near to my country, the Philippines.
Myanmar is beautiful my friends say. I would love to be there.. I right now don't have plans to be there or visit there because there's already too much on my plate (perks of being workaholic) but may be someday.. I loved the pics hun must say they are wow.
This place is the perfect balance of picturesque and busy. I love it. Your shots are amazing! I love the mirrored glass at night. Although the colour stands out better diring the day.
you are so humble ! it is a really good guide… and the photos are wonderful!
This is a very good guide to Kalaw in Myanmar. We have been to the country, for a brief visit when we were backpacking North East India. That was a visa-free entry as one of the most popular places of a visit from and for Mizoram is Rih Dil lake which is in current day Myanmar as in the past the geographical lines were not like today. We fell in love with food, drinks, surroundings and people and all these have been so beautifully reflected in your pictures! We have to go back slow travelling there. Added Kalaw on the list!
OK! So before I stated reading your post, I was totally lost in your pictures! Beautiful photography and you have captured the essence of this place so beautifully. That Aung Chan Tha Zedi architecture is just breathtaking!
The Kalaw Heritage Hotel is beautiful. The accommodations look relaxing and the scenery is breathtaking. Your photos do a great job of really capturing the essence of Myanmar.
Amazing scenery and you had some really beautiful shots capturing Myanmar.
Myanmar looks amazing! I have never been but you have added a place on my bucket list! The myoma monastery looks exquisite! The architecture is breathtaking and your photography brings to life the rich and extraordinary culture on offer!
Thank you very much.. for taking me along with you! It's like i've seen it with my own two eyes! Your visuals are awesome!!! And the way you described everything is very detailed. Now i am doubly excited to see it in person.
I miss the spas of South East Asia. When I was in Myanmar a few years ago I had a number of memorable spa treatments when I was in Rangoon. I didn't make it to Kalaw, but if I ever visit again it will be on my list.
I haven't been to Myanmar, but it looks a lot like Thailand from what I see in your post. Jealous of the food you're eating!
Love all of the pictures, the buildings are amazing. We just added Myanmar to our bucket list.
Your pictorial post, a guide to off the beaten track in Kalaw Myanmar, is indeed useful for any traveller planning for that part to visit.
I have never been in this Myanmar but it looks like a nice place to visit and it is a great experience exploring their beautiful view and spots. I will definitely add this into my bucket list and once I go here I will try to taste their local foods.
I have never heard of Myanmar before but it looks like a really nice place to visit. The pictures are lovely and the food looks good.
I only rarely hear or read about Myanmar and that's such a pity because it is a fabulous country! Your pictures are so good, really beautiful and your food pictures made me hungry!

Funko Releases Their Pop! Short for Upcoming The Rise of Skywalker
The world of Funko Pop is definitely getting bigger now that it's been noticed as an emerging favorite of so many people. Having many Funko's on my desk I can at least say that it is something of pleasing idea that has managed to gain a lot of traction, but seeing it appear much as Lego has been doing in the recent past is kind of surprising. As a part of the Star Wars franchise though it's not too surprising since there are a great many characters that can be used and as a result there was a good chance that it would inspire a Rise of Skywalker short that would involve someone from the movie. Ethan Anderton of SlashFilm might agree with this but he also has more input on the upcoming movie. But putting Lando Calrissian in there is something of a throwback that hopefully many fans enjoy since the aging gambler is someone that a lot of people are no doubt looking to enjoy seeing on the big screen again. Whether people are really looking forward to the movie is hard to say since The Last Jedi is still leaving a bad taste in a lot of peoples' mouths considering how it turned out. It'd be nice to see the old crew, Han, Lando, Chewie, Luke, and Leia get together and take on the First Order like back in the old days, but of course that's not possible now since all but Lando and Chewie are gone, Leia because Carrie Fisher passed away and Han and Luke because, well….Disney.
That sounds a little petulant but there's a good reason for it and it's because Disney saw the need to do things their own way, which is easy to understand, but forgot to realize that Star Wars has had a huge, dedicated fan base that was hoping for lightning in a bottle once again and instead got a sparkler in a plastic sleeve by comparison. That's a weird analogy but it made better sense in my head. Anyway, using Funko Pop as another way to drum up interest in the movie was likely a smart move since a lot of people are into these bobblehead toys and tend to have a lot of them stashed away in their home somewhere if such is the case. Mine tend to rest on my desk and shelves, outside of the box as not being a collector but more of a person that enjoys having them around I can't see the joy in keeping them in the box. One day they might all be collector's items, in fact some of them already are, but it still feels wrong to leave something boxed that should be taken out and allowed to grace the space they're in with their bobbling presence.
This short does bring up a funny and very telling subject though when it comes to the Millennium Falcon since if anyone that's watched the original trilogy and the movies since that knows, the Falcon has always been a somewhat temperamental ship that seems to break down in one way or another and require repairs more often than any other vessel in the franchise. The great part of that has always been that Han and Chewie were technically able to repair just about anything since as long as they had the parts and the tools they could keep the old bird flying until they found enough credits to upgrade or replace whatever needed replacing. But there was always something being said about the Falcon anyway since she looked pretty rough and wasn't always the most reliable transport. Even with Lando being the first owner there was plenty about the ship that didn't really pass muster since it started its life as a cargo hauler and was never really meant to be anything other than this. Once Lando got a hold of it however the Falcon's adventures started to multiply as she became not only a potential cargo hauler, but also a smuggling ship that could hold a great deal of contraband and passengers, or both, and be used in a number of illicit activities.
There was actually a book that was written specifically about the Falcon and showed how many owners it had gone through since being assembled on the line. It if even stated in the book that the Falcon almost seemed eager to get up and running as a series of malfunctions on the line made it clear that this ship was not like the others that came from the same line. If you can believe it, Lando wasn't the first owner of the ship any more than Han was, but it'd be a miracle it seems if that book was allowed into the current canon by Disney since they've scrapped just about everything else and made it clear that they're doing things their own way. Some days it seems that Lucas should have kept a tight hold on his creation.

Construction and design[edit]
HMS Tartar was ordered from the Southampton shipbuilder John I. Thornycroft & Company under the 1905–06 shipbuilding programme for the Royal Navy, one of five Tribal-class destroyers ordered under that programme.[1] The Tribals derived from a requirement by the First Sea Lord "Jackie" Fisher, for a steam turbine powered, oil-fueled destroyer capable of at least 33 knots (61 km/h; 38 mph). Armament was specified as three 12-pounder (3 in, 76 mm) 12 cwt guns[a] and two 18-inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes.[2][3] While the Admiralty laid down the basic requirements, the details of the design of individual ships was left to the builders, although the builder's designs did need to be approved by the Director of Naval Construction before orders were placed. This meant that individual ships of the class differed significantly from each other.[2][3]
Tartar was 274 feet 3 inches (83.59 m) long overall and 270 feet 0 inches (82.30 m) between perpendiculars, with a beam of 26 feet 0 inches (7.92 m) and a draught of 8 feet 4 inches (2.54 m). Displacement was 870 long tons (880 t) normal and 960 long tons (980 t) deep load.[4] Tartar had a turtleback forecastle, but with a raised bow compared with Mohawk (also fitted with a turtleback forecastle), thus avoiding the seakeeping problems that forced Mohawk to be rebuilt with a raised forecastle.[5] Six Thornycroft boilers (in three boiler rooms) fed steam to turbines driving three propeller shafts. The main high-pressure turbine drove the centre shaft, with the outer shafts being fitted with low-pressure turbines, together with cruise and astern turbines. Four funnels were fitted.[1][6] The ship's machinery was rated at 14,500 shaft horsepower (10,800 kW). The ship had a complement of 74 officers and ratings.[4]
Tartar was laid down at Thornycroft's Woolston shipyard on 13 November 1905 and launched on 25 June 1907.[7] Tartar made 36.3 knots (67.2 km/h; 41.8 mph) during sea trials,[1] with one run during final trials on 16 December reaching a speed of 37.037 knots (68.593 km/h; 42.621 mph), a speed record.[8][b] She was completed in April 1908.[7] It had been realised during construction that the armament of the Tribals was too light, so it was decided to strengthen the armament of the first five ships of the class by adding another two 12-pounder guns. The two guns were added to Tartar following acceptance by the Royal Navy.[10]
Service[edit]
Tartar formed part of the 1st Destroyer Flotilla of the Home Fleet when it was formed in 1909 and remained part of this formation until 1913, when she joined the 4th Destroyer Flotilla based at Portsmouth.[11][12] In October that year, the Tribals were officially designated the F class, and as such the letter "F" was painted on the bows of the class.[13][14] In February 1914, the Tribals (including Tartar), as their range was too short for effective open sea operations, were sent to Dover, forming the 6th Destroyer Flotilla.[11][13] On 8 September 1915, the destroyer Leven was involved in a collision with a transport in the English Channel, suffering a badly damaged bow. She was towed stern first back to Dover, assisted by Tartar, Viking and the tug Lady Crundall.[15]
On the night of 26/27 October 1916, German torpedo boats of their Flanders Flotilla carried out a large scale raid into the English Channel, hoping to attack the drifters watching the anti-submarine nets of the Dover Barrage, and to sink Allied shipping in the Channel. Six Tribal-class destroyers (Tartar, Mohawk, Viking, Nubian, Amazon and Cossack) were being held at readiness at Dover as a fast response force, at readiness in Dover harbour, and when the German 5th Half Flotilla attacked the drifters and sank the old supporting destroyer HMS Flirt, they were ordered to intervene. The destroyers split up as they left Dover harbour, with Viking leading Mohawk and Tartar from the Western entrance to the port, while the other three destroyers left by the Eastern entrance and failed to join up with Viking's group. Nubian and Amazon separately ran into the German 17th Half Flotilla, on its way home after sinking the merchant ship Queen, with Nubian first being badly damaged by a torpedo and Amazon then heavily hit by German shells. Viking's group then encountered a third German formation, the 18th Half Flotilla. Mohawk, second in line of the three British destroyers, was hit by German shells which caused her steering to jam, and turn out of line. Tartar followed Mohawk's turn, while Viking's attempts to pursue the German torpedo boats were thwarted when her course was blocked by Mohawk. All the German torpedo boats that took part in the nights operations escaped successfully.[16]
Tartar struck a German mine on 24 June 1917, killing 43 of her crew, including her newly appointed Captain, G. K. Twiss, but was towed to safety.[11][17][18] By November 1917, Tartar had joined the 11th Destroyer Flotilla, based at Blyth, Northumberland.[19][20] On 18 February 1918, Tartar collided with the merchant ship Ardgantock off West Hartlepool, sinking the merchant ship.[15] Tartar still served with the 11th Submarine Flotilla on 11 November 1918, when the Armistice ended fighting between the Allies and Germany.[21]
Disposal[edit]
Tartar was sold for scrap on 9 May 1919 to Thos. W. Ward of Hayle.[22]

2How long will it be ere you make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
3Why are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
4He tears himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for you? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
5Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks on a snare.
12His strength shall be extremely hungry, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
15It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered on his habitation.
20They that come after him shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.


Northern Lights in Greenland can be observed from end of August to beginning of April, but especially deep in the winter. If you are travelling to Greenland during that time you have great chances of seeing these multicoloured lights dancing through an arctic night.
Northern Lights, also known as aurora borealis, can be seen very well in the area of Kangerlussuaq due to its stable micro climate. But of course northern lights in Greenland can also be seen in many other places, like Disko Bay, East Greenland and Nuuk. Remember, the more time you spent in the great outdoors, the higher your chances of seeing them are.

Plucked from the relatively obscure confines of the French second division last summer, Guendouzi has quickly become one of the most valuable young players around. The frizzy-haired midfielder made a fine start to his debut campaign at the Emirates Stadium, and although he flitted in and out of the team as the season wore on, Arsenal have high hopes for the 20-year-old.
According to reports, the Gunners don't have the biggest transfer budget to work with this summer. Finding more gems like Guendouzi, who cost just £7m in July 2018, would serve them well.
21= Lucas Paqueta, Milan (£31.5m+)
Milan's failure to finish in top four last term means they are facing yet another season outside of the Champions League. The seven-time European champions have now been absent from Europe's premier competition since 2014, and they are now set to build a team around a core of young players in an attempt to re-join the top table.
Paqueta is perhaps their most promising outfielder, having turned in some impressive performances since moving to San Siro in January. The attacking midfielder is valued at around £31.5m by Transfermarkt – a similar figure to that which Milan paid Flamengo at the start of the year.
21= Callum Hudson-Odoi, Chelsea (£31.5m+)
Maurizio Sarri and Chelsea were not a natural fit, with the club's supporters failing to warm to the man who was appointed Juventus manager earlier this week. One of their chief gripes concerned Sarri's unwillingness to hand Hudson-Odoi meaningful first-team minutes for much of the season.
The winger eventually made his first Premier League start in April, and by the end of the campaign had become a regular fixture in Sarri's side. Bayern Munich are still sniffing around a player who is out of contract in a year's time.
21= Ryan Sessegnon, Fulham (£31.5m+)
As things stand, Sessegnon is set to embark on another season in the Championship in 2019/20. Tottenham and Juventus have both been linked with the 19-year-old, who will be a free agent upon the expiration of his Fulham deal next summer.
Sessegnon struggled to assert himself in the Premier League at times last term, but he still ended the campaign with two goals and six assists for a dysfunctional club that employed three different managers in a disastrous return to the top tier.
21= Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Crystal Palace (£31.5m+)
Wan-Bissaka is still a Crystal Palace player at the time of writing, but he's reportedly on the verge of signing for Manchester United in a £50m deal. According to Transfermarkt, the Red Devils are overpaying for the young right-back, who's made fewer than 50 senior appearances since turning professional.
United will hope that his value steadily rises in the coming years, and there's no doubt that Wan-Bissaka is a player of tremendous potential. Superb in one-versus-one defensive duels, it's rare to see an opposition winger get the better of him.
17= Rodrygo, Real Madrid (£36m+)
Eden Hazard isn't the only wide attacker Real Madrid have snared this summer. Their deal to sign Rodrygo from Santos was actually agreed 12 months ago, but the Brazilian will only join up with his new team-mates next month after crossing the Atlantic for a £35.7m fee.
The forward scored 17 goals in 80 first-team appearances for Santos, the club he joined as a 10-year-old in 2011. He will now be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Vinicius Junior, who made a promising start to his career at Madrid after swapping the Brasileirao for La Liga a year ago.
17= Nicolo Zaniolo, Roma (£36m+)
It's been a turbulent few weeks for Roma, who have appointed a new manager, waved goodbye to long-serving midfielder Daniele de Rossi and, most recently, been forced to watch Francesco Totti walk away from his position as a director.
The departures of De Rossi and Totti represent a break from the past, and Roma's attention is now very much focused on the future. Zaniolo could be a big part of that, having enjoyed a fantastic first season in the capital following his switch from Inter.
17= Leon Bailey, Bayer Leverkusen (£36m+)
Having repeatedly rejected Jamaica's overtures in recent years, Bailey finally accepted a call-up from the country of his birth for this summer's Gold Cup. Having finished as runners-up in the last two editions, the Reggae Boyz will hope that the presence in their side of one of the world's highest valued youngsters will get them over the line.
Bailey stagnated a little in 2018/19 after bursting onto the scene the previous season, when he scored 12 goals in 34 games for Leverkusen. He's still an incredibly talented forward who could be a transfer target for Europe's biggest clubs this time next year.
17= Moise Kean, Juventus (£36m+)
When they acquired Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid last summer, Juventus committed to a win-now strategy; signing the Champions League's record goalscorer boosted the club's chances of claiming a third European Cup, and they had to focus their efforts on realising that ambition rather than building for the future.
Kean may be at the start of his career, but the teenage forward has also shown that he is ready to contribute here and now: he scored seven times in 17 outings for Juve last term.
14= Houssem Aouar, Lyon (£40.5m+)
Lyon are no strangers to producing gifted young players, with their excellent academy having blooded the likes of Karim Benzema, Alexandre Lacazette and Samuel Umtiti in recent times. Aouar is one of the latest to emerge from the club's ranks, with the inventive midfielder having enjoyed a superb season in 2018/19.
Manchester City and Liverpool have both reportedly been keeping tabs on the 20-year-old, who has formed a terrific partnership with Tanguy Ndombele in the centre of the park at Lyon. Les Gones will be desperate to keep hold of him this summer.
14= Declan Rice, West Ham (£40.5m+)
Having primarily been deployed as part of a back three by David Moyes in 2017/18, Rice spent last term as a holding midfielder in Manuel Pellegrini's side. The West Ham academy product enjoyed a fantastic season in that role, earning a nomination for the PFA Young Player of the Year award and his first England call-up.
The £25m Marseille paid for Dimitri Payet in January 2017 is West Ham's record sale. Any suitors of Rice may have to pay close to double that fee to capture the former Republic of Ireland international.
14= Ibrahima Konate, RB Leipzig (£40.5m+)
Bayern Munich won another Bundesliga title in 2018/19, but it was RB Leipzig who ended the season with the division's best defensive record. That was in large part down to the wonderful centre-back partnership between Dayot Upamecano and Konate, who will surely be rewarded with a maiden France call-up early next term.
The 20-year-old had only made 12 Ligue 2 appearances for Sochaux when he was snapped up by Leipzig in summer 2017. Arsenal are among the clubs keeping a close eye on Konate, who is worth upwards of £40m according to Transfermarkt.
13. Eder Militao, Real Madrid (£45m+)
Real Madrid have wasted little time in embarking on their latest spending spree, with Militao one of five new recruits secured by the middle of June. The Spanish giants parted with around £44.5m to bring the defender to the Santiago Bernabeu, despite the fact that he has only plied his trade in Europe for a single season.
The Brazilian excelled at Porto in 2018/19, playing 43 times and chipping in with five goals as Sergio Conceicao's charges finished second in all three domestic competitions.
12. Gianluigi Donnarumma, Milan (£49m+)
You have to be a pretty special goalkeeping talent to make your league debut as a 16-year-old, particularly for a club of Milan's stature. Yet Donnarumma immediately proved that he fitted the above description after making his first Serie A appearance in October 2015, before establishing himself as the Rossoneri's No.1 under Sinisa Mihajlovic.
Last season was his fourth campaign as a regular starter at San Siro, but the heir to Gianluigi Buffon is still only 20 years old. It would probably take a bid of at least £50m for Milan to even consider selling the 6ft 5in shot-stopper.
9= Christian Pulisic, Chelsea (£54m+)
With Eden Hazard almost certain to leave for Real Madrid – a deal that was finalised earlier this month – Chelsea moved to acquire a replacement in January, acquiring Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund for £58m.
The United States international slipped down the pecking order at Signal Iduna Park last term, largely due to the emergence of Jadon Sancho. The forward remains a tremendous prospect, though, and he will immediately become a key player at Stamford Bridge in 2019/20 following Hazard's exit.
9= Federico Chiesa, Fiorentina (£54m+)
Older readers may think 'Enrico' when they hear the name 'Chiesa', but the former Italy international has been thrust into the shadows by the exploits of his son. Young Federico is the new name on everyone's lips in Serie A, with Juventus having begun to flutter their eyelashes in the direction of the Fiorentina forward.
New Viola owner Rocco Commisso immediately endeard himself to the club's fanbase by declaring that he wouldn't even sell Chiesa – who is valued at around £54m by Transfermarket – for €100m.
9= Luka Jovic, Real Madrid (£54m+)
After hitting 25 goals for Eintracht Frankfurt last term, Jovic was always likely to be on the move this summer. Real Madrid ultimately won the race for the ex-Benfica frontman, paying £53.5m to beat off reported competition from Manchester United, Chelsea and Barcelona.
Jovic's value could increase further if he makes a positive impact at the Santiago Bernabeu next term, with Real Madrid looking to get back on track following their disappointment of 2018/19.
7= Vinicius Junior, Real Madrid (£63m+)
Vinicius was by no means the first name on Real Madrid's team sheet last season, but in making 18 La Liga appearances and four more in the Champions League, he was more involved than many expected following a move from Flamengo last summer.
Madrid spent to secure the teenager's signature, and that could prove to be a bargain if Vinicius fulfils his extraordinary potential in the coming years. The Brazilian forward is already worth around £63m after just one season in the European game.
7= Joao Felix, Benfica (£63m+)
Portugal showed in the Nations League Finals that they will be a force to be reckoned with at next summer's European Championship, with Felix one of several young talents available to Fernando Santos.
The forward scored 20 goals in 43 games for Benfica last term, a return which has seen Atletico Madrid line him up as a replacement for Barcelona-bound Antoine Griezmann. Transfermarkt value him at around £63m, but Atleti have reportedly submitted an offer of £113m, almost double that amount.
6. Matthijs de Ligt, Ajax (£67m+)
The most in-demand player in world football, De Ligt's future remains unresolved over a month on from the end of Ajax's season. Barcelona initially appeared to be in pole position, but their apparent reluctance to match the Dutchman's wage demands has allowed PSG, Liverpool and Manchester United into the race.
The bulky centre-back has a bright future ahead of him wherever he ends up, but he must still think carefully about his next move. Whatever happens, Ajax can expect to receive a hefty fee for the 19-year-old.
4= Marcus Rashford, Manchester United (£72m+)
Rashford was criticised at times last season for his perceived failure to kick on and take his game to the next level, but such sentiments merely serve to show how much the Manchester United man raised expectations with his thrilling early performances at senior level.
The forward did shine during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's honeymoon period at Old Trafford, so much so that Barcelona were reported to be sniffing around. United are set to trigger a one-year extension in Rashford's contract and won't sell him this summer, although they could expect to recoup over £72m if they changed their minds.
4= Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool (£72m+)
Liverpool enjoyed a brilliant season last time out, winning the club's sixth Champions League and finishing in second place in the Premier League with a record points haul for a runner-up. Theirs was undoubtedly a success for the collective, but few contributed more to the cause than Alexander-Arnold.
The 20-year-old set a new Premier League record for the most assists by a defender, setting up 12 of his team-mates' goals, and made 40 appearances in all competitions. There's no chance of Liverpool selling the youngster, who would cost upwards of £72m according to Transfermarkt.
3. Kai Havertz, Bayer Leverkusen (£81m+)
Not content with simply becoming Bayer Leverkusen's youngest ever Bundesliga debutant in 2016, Havertz later took the mantle of the club's youngest ever goalscorer and, in 2018, became the youngster player to reach 50 appearances in the division.
Given that he's been around for a while, it's easy to forget that the midfielder, who has been likened to German great Michael Ballack, doesn't turn 21 until next summer. Havertz is unlikely to be at the BayArena forever, and any suggestion that he is looking to seek pastures new would likely spark a significant bidding war.
2. Jadon Sancho, Borussia Dortmund (£90m+)
Frustrated by a lack of first-team opportunities at Manchester City, Sancho quit the Premier League for the Bundesliga in 2017. The risk has paid off handsomely for the teenage winger, whose 12 goals and 14 assists helped Borussia Dortmund launch a sustained title tilt for the first time in years.
Manchester United have been linked with a move for the England international, but his immediate future is at Signal Iduna Park. It would take a huge fee to convince Dortmund to sell one of their prized assets.
1. Kylian Mbappe, PSG (£180m+)
Mbappe is already one of the best players in the world, so it's frightening to think just how good he could be by the time he reaches his peak. The 20-year-old followed up a successful World Cup campaign by being Ligue 1's standout performer in 2018/19, scoring 33 goals in 29 appearances as PSG won the title at a canter.
The capital club's failure in both domestic cup competitions and the Champions League meant it was a disappointing season overall, however, and Mbappe ended it by hinting that his future may lie elsewhere. It would surely take a world-record fee to prise such a precocious talent away from the Parc des Princes.
Lists, Borussia Dortmund, West Ham United, PSG, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Benfica, Real Madrid, Fulham, Milan, Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus, AS Roma, RB Leipzig, Olympique Lyon, Ajax, Liverpool, Fiorentina, Leon Bailey, Kylian Mbappe, Christian Pulisic, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Manchester United, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Matthijs de Ligt, Vinicius Junior, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Declan Rice, Houssem Aouar, Moise Kean, Ryan Sessegnon, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Matteo Guendouzi, Callum Hudson-Odoi

Roan Mountain is not one mountain, but a five-mile ridgetop that ranges in elevation from a lofty 6,286 ft. at Roan High Knob to a low of 5,500 ft. at Carver's Gap, near Bakersville. The Appalachian Trail crosses the grassy summits and affords wonderful panoramic mountain views during the ridgetop hike. It's famous for the massive native Catawba Rhododendron display of blooms each June. The unique terrain also creates a rare and beautiful ecosystem.
There are two distinct sections to explore Roan. For the best hiking, park at Carver's Gap near the North Carolina / Tennessee state line and hike east (across the road) atop the grassy summits of Round Bald, Jane Bald and Grassy Ridge - five miles round-trip. Or drive two miles from Carver's Gap into the Roan Mountain Recreation Area ($3/car, open summer months), part of Pisgah National Forest, for a picnic area, restrooms, paved half-mile trail through rhododendron gardens and a hike to Roan High Bluff overlook.
This is definitely one of our favorite hikes in western North Carolina, and it's one of most spectacular sections of the Appalachian Trail! You can hike as little or as much as you like, and then turn around. It's only 3/4 mile to the first bald with spectacular vistas. Go all the way to Grassy Ridge Bald for an unforgettable five-mile trek (with a total of about 1,200 ft. in elevation gain as you ascend and descend the balds). Read more below!
From the NC Highway 261 entrance to Roan Mountain Recreation Area at Carver's Gap on the North Carolina / Tennessee state line, it's a fairly easy uphill hike (300-ft. elevation gain) to Round Bald (5,826 ft.) for great panoramic views. The small parking area with a toilet is across the road from your starting point. The first part of the hike is through a good-smelling evergreen spruce forest. It's only 3/4 mile to the top of Round Bald - take a picnic or bring a book here to get away from it all! You can then return to your car or keep hiking. Since you are walking along the state border, views to your right are in North Carolina while views on the left are in Tennessee.
To continue to the next summit, Jane Bald (elevation 5,807 ft.), hike another 3/4 mile downhill a little and then up. The entire section is across the grassy sections with quite a few rhododendrons and flame azaleas that both bloom in June. Again, it's a great spot for a picnic. You can turn around here for a 3-mile round-trip, or continue.
To reach our final destination, Grassy Ridge Bald (elevation 6,189 ft.), continue north on the Appalachian Trail downhill and then start another climb. In about In about 1/2 mile, the AT takes a left. A spur trail on the right takes you to the top of Grassy Ridge. It's a steep and somewhat rocky walk through a dense rhododendron tunnel. After you arrive back in the grasslands, look for the large rock at the summit.
Atop Grassy Ridge, read the plaque in memory of local Roan advocate Cornelious Rex Peake. From the summit, you can take a loop to enjoy views in every direction. Look north for a great profile view of Grandfather Mountain.
From Carver's Gap, go the other direction on the Appalachian Trail south 1.5 miles to Roan High Knob (more trees on this one) at the elevation of 6,285 ft. The Roan High Knob Shelter is the highest backcountry shelter on the entire AT. There are limited views on this section.
There are three hikes up the two-mile road into the Roan Mountain Recreation Area (turn at Carver's Gap). This area is open Memorial Day weekend through September. Admission is $3/vehicle. At the picnic area, an easy concrete trail starts at the information cabin and winds through rhododendrons to an overlook. You can choose between a short, 0.3-mile loop or continue on a longer, figure-eight loop.
The Cloudland Trail is a moderate, 1.2-mile hike through a gorgeous forest from the end of the Cloudland parking area to the dramatic Roan High Bluff Overlook. The 1000-ft. drop can make this spot the wettest and coldest on the mountain. You can drive out farther (to the end of the loop) and catch the trail for only a half-mile hike to the Bluff.
No one knows the origin of the mountain's name. Some claim the name refers to the roan or reddish color of the mountain when rhododendrons bloom in June or the mountain ash berries appear in September. Others say the name comes from Daniel Boone's roan horse because he and his horse were frequent visitors.
The Carver's Gap parking area is open year-round (receives a lot of snow each winter).You can walk or cross country ski into that area all winter. See photos of a spectacular winter hike on Roan.
The summits are always cooler (sometimes 15-20 degrees colder than 13 miles downhill in Bakersville), especially if covered in clouds. The winter is long with a lot of snow. Bring a jacket even on summer days. Beware! The weather can be much cooler here and change quickly. So be prepared. And this is not a good place to be during a thunderstorm! Clouds often cover the summits and high winds often blow across the balds.
(allow 1.5 hours) There are several ways to get to Roan Mountain. It's about 13 miles north of Bakersville, NC on Highway 261. Be ready for curvy, mountain roads.

Exodus and Eggs
During the Atumenate Epoch, it was said that Sihnsakisili, lord of the waves and the endless Thalassic Domain whereupon all the fishes and fowls and fuminophores reside, became envious of the land-dwellers and their superior knowledge.
While his children were more plentiful, the children of Gullikgirin, the Earth Maker, were more favored by the Gods and infinitely smarter, basking in the Great Glows and feeding on the Gods' wastes whenever they pleased. As they writhed and wriggled through the soupy union of Maririshal1 and Ilsiganuta2, warmed by the Gods' care, Sihnsakisili's cold creations had only the empty depths of the Ocean to wander in, wading and wagging their tails and fins to distract themselves from their loveless life.
For 500 000 CCE (Kamandoyuan constellatory-apex), the denizens of the Thalassic Domain wept and wallowed in the Water Around All Land, wishing to their creator for blessings like those given to the Gullikin. They wailed in deafening sadness for so long that imprints were forever left in the oromelodic resonances of Thalassian seawater: indeed, as one may hold a conch shell up against their ear, the gnawing, hollow sound of air within the conch will perfectly mimic the Sihnsakin's sorrow and despair.
The god of the sea, wearied of seeing his children being cast low and denied godly favor, abandoned his children to the care of Murga, the Great Steward, and emerged onto the Sea-Surface as a giant jellybeast. By then, there were still parts in the outskirts of Thalassia that were uninhabited, and Sihnsakisili was despondent as he floated toward land. To disguise himself from Atum and the other gods, he wrangled volcanic rock into his mouth-hole, reconstituting his body to appear as an island.
His journey lasted twelve years, and at that time the Gullikin had grown into larger and larger forms, while the Thalassians, ever-increasing in number, wailed even louder.
When dry soil was at last within the sea god's sight, Sihnsakisili was appalled to see the Gullikin completely cover the land in a slimy, steaming, meaty mass of their countless young and family, initially even mistaking the landmass as the viscera of a dead god. Because the Gods had been so coddling with the land creatures, they had lived in abundance without any deity's supervision for centuries, forming a mountain with their own bodies. As the Sea God floated nearer into view, he saw that the "mound" was in fact the corpse of the Earth-Maker himself, and that the Gullikin were indeed feeding off of it, absorbing their creator's essence in the process.
In a horrified rage, Sihnsakisili summoned Wulukquk3 and sent a massive tidal wave to drown the Gullikin. Barbed tentacles erupted from the deep and dragged clusters of Gullikin to a watery doom. The land-dwellers could not breathe underwater, and heaps of them sank to the bottom of the ocean. However, with the consumption of the Earth-Maker's power, many wise Gullikin adapted and learned to survive, growing thick carapaces and sharp claws. As the Thalassic God laid waste to land, the adapted land-dwellers, thenceforth refugees in the sea, began their new life in the most cavernous depths.
The loss of so much life was felt by the rest of the Gods, and many flocked to the Living-World to investigate. Malninagu, one of the Life-Spirits, was the first to speak against Sihnsakisili, but Sihnsakisili argued that the Gullikin, having killed their creator, were no longer children of Creation. Many of the Gullikin in the center of the continent remained untouched by the tidal waves, and continued to multiply as the Pantheon of Atum decided on their fate.
Meanwhile, in the Thalassic Domain, the myriad multitudes of sea creatures under Murga's watch had grown embittered with envy over their Gullikin cousins. They did not know what it was like to eat (consumption of "food' was originally a gift given exclusively to land-dwellers.) They could not breathe anything other than cold, black water. Driven furious by their sordid conditions, they started to go astray from the Great Steward's care. This marked the first time that children of Sihnsakisili swam against the currents created by the Mother Shark, the sheer difficulty of the task alone killing scores of Thalassians. Yet, in turn, this left the strongest to breed among themselves.
It was agreed that the land-dwellers, having abandoned their birthright with the death of Gullikgirin, were to be punished. However, there were stipulations made by Atum in adherence to his deitic laws: that the Gods could not eradicate the land-dwellers outright, must ensure that every life lost would serve another being, and that their capital punishment of the mortal land-dwellers must be done through other mortals.
All of the Gods and Spirits struggled on a solution, when a large fin, as tall as the mountain made from Gullikgirin's body, arose from the sea. Murga, being unable to fully surface, jabbed her snout at Sihnsakisili's leg. Sihnsakisili, aware that the Great Steward wished to commune with them, called to Kanuenon and asked him to mold a clay bowl big enough to hold her.
Atum, seeing the effort, told Kanuenon to stop, and took Murga from the sea, and with a rub of the Great Shark's topside, gave the Steward a nose-hole on the top of her head. As was ordained in the Covenant of Breathers, an air spirit was sanctified and entered Murga upon her first inhalation.
Murga then recounted to the Pantheon the tragic state of the Thalassic Domain and the plight of the Sihnsakin that swam without purpose. She then discovered the fate of Gullikgirin and cried in anguish, for it was the Earth Maker who forged her skin from hard metals to be stronger than any other fish.
As she cried, Sihnsakisili was said to have seen a sparkling teardrop fall from Murga's eye and hit a stray Gullikin afloat in the water, forcing the creature to sink down the ocean, at which point, he received an epiphany.
The Earth-Made, having lived in gluttonous squallor, were fat, plump and shell-less, and were no match to the blades and fins and innumerable teeth of the Sihnsakin. With the gods' blessings, they could be led to Gullikgirin's domain and exact slaughter, all the while roaming across the dirt and mud like they so wished. Sihnsakisili called upon the Pantheon and proposed his plan, which was agreed to by Atum.
And so, Sihnsakisili delivered Murga back to the Domain. The Great Steward moved her tail and fins with such force that all of the Thalassic dwellers were swept away by the currents, carrying them towards land. Atum, sitting atop the cliff formed from Gullikgirin's tall nose, then commanded the Younger Twin to exert a vast tidal influence upon the seas. The Younger Twin obeyed, and with her pull over the seas
trillions of Sihnsakin were brought onto the Ur-Continent at once.
The Gullikin were no match for the Sihnsakin, and were devoured whole, aside from the wise ones which burrowed into the soil and hide there to this day. As they hunted across the corpse of the Earth-Maker, the glowing gift of Atum allowed them to grow legs and feet to better traverse their new domain.
The Thalassians eventually cleaned up large areas of the land, exposing the earth god's rotting flesh. When they had eaten through the mass of Gullikin above Gullikgirin's head, the Sihnsakin and everyone else present fell silent at the sight of the Earth-Maker's grinning face. The reason behind this expression at the time of his death, or why the peninsula of Gul, Mt. Ilki, and Lake Quartal come together to resemble a smiling face of a (^>) being, remains unknown.
Once the Gullikin above land were completely eradicated, Atum created a great, bright glow from his chest that touched each Sihnsakin in its warmth, separating the Domain's destiny into two, depending on their true desires: those who explored and trekked the Surface to their heart's content, risking their lives leaping across cliffs, valleys, and canyons because they may not return to land again; and those who would miss the flow of cold water on their scales and fins, and Murga's currents and Sihnsakin's guidance.
Then Atum made the Younger Twin deliver the waveborn Sihnsakin back to their Domain. The two new races of Sihnsakisili's children then bade goodbye to each other as the tides crept gently over the continent.
Half a waveborn generation later, as the youngest Thalassian children were born in the seas, many of Sihnsakisili's estranged children on land became confused with a basic, yet integral ordeal in their new life: birth. Their children up until then were born in the water, and now they couldn't go back to their old domain.
To address this, Atum gave off another great glow that touched only the land-dwellers this time. He then told the Gul-Sakin to commence reproduction. As the first of the young finally emerged, the land-dwellers were surprised to see their children enclosed in tiny white coffins, and cried as they gave birth to more. Atum glowed with pleasure, shining his light upon the eggs, which hatched to reveal healthy young Gul-Sakin, and explained that if the land-dwellers could not go to water to bear young, the water shall come to the young instead.
The Gul-Sakin, relieved, thanked Atum immensely, and soon spread to all over the Ur-Continent in mutual abundance with their waveborn kin.
And that is how Sihnsakisili, lord of the waves, helped set the events in motion which led to the conception of the humble egg and the exodus of half of his own creations into new territory.

The Paghimud-os Negros (Citizens' Movement for Democracy and People Power) is challenging Negros' congressmen to conduct more comprehensive consultations and allow the people to participate in transparent discussions of the proposed changes to the 1987 Constitution and the shift to a federal structure, former Gov. Rafael Coscolluela said yesterday.
Paghimud-os, that is a coalition of more than 20 groups, is also calling on Congress to allow for a truly democratic and open process through a Constitutional Convention, if at all, and not a Constituent Assembly or ConAss, Coscolluela, a co-convenor of the group, said.
The coalition will be launched at the Bishop's House in Bacolod City this morning.
The members of Paghimud-os Negros are standing up to make the voice of the people heard, Coscolluela said.
Paghimud-os seeks to strengthen civil society through a broad coalition of concerned citizens and groups that will actively promote open discussion of issues that affect all Filipinos, he added.
The urgent issue of the day is Charter Change and with that, the proposed shift to Federalism, Coscolluela said.
The consensus among the members is that the people need to be fully informed about these issues, he added.
"We submit that there is no need to rush the process, and that it is possible to address our nation's problems in other ways that need not divide the people into factions and incompatible interest groups," Coscolluela said.
The coalition is urging everyone to be involved, and join discussions on issues that will affect the lives of the Filipino people now and in the future.
Paghimud-os will hold a series of public forums, initially on Charter Change and Federalism, at St. John Vianney Hall at the Bishop's House in Bacolod City from 1 to 5 p.m. Wednesday and Friday.
Forum speakers will include Negrense political commentator, lawyer Alex Lacson, who will tackle "Charter Change: The Process, Issues and Concerns " on Wednesday, and former Bayan Muna representative Neri Colmenares who will talk about "Charter Change: For Better or for Worst?" on Friday.


Director Andy Palmer a stopped in to to answer some questions classics films that influenced him and making his newest film, Badlands of Kain.
Kris (Katrina Norman) and Shannon (Rachelle Dimaria) decide to take a road trip to Arizona. While on the road their car "Lady Bug" takes a turn for the worse leaving the girls stranded on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. Rescued by a tow truck driving preacher named Terry (Paul Soter) from Kain, the girls soon find out that once you arrive you can never leave Kain.
Once again a homage to old classics like Twilight Zone, Hitchcock, and a bit of The Sixth Sense rolled into one. The plot is full of twists keeping you guessing how it will end. Paul Soter and the rest of the cast balanced the thriller genre and real world of making the story believable.
Director Andy Palmer wove the twists and turns of the story creating a much needed break from traditional horrors and thrillers. The powerful story will keep viewers on the edge of their seats for most of the film. So before you plant yourself in front of the screen and enjoy this soon to be classic film, see what the director had to say about his love of horror and putting together the film.
Mike: With your success over the years of being a part of VH1 reality television what made you decide to take a chance and directing movies?
Andy: I've always wanted to work in film, ever since I was a little kid. We didn't have cable, so I was a video store junkie. Our local store was called Rick's Video, and I would stay in there for hours talking to the owner Rick about movies, he was way nicer to me than he needed to be, always willing to talk about films with me. In college I focused on editing, and that's how I got into reality television was as an editor, but the end goal was always to direct. But I feel so fortunate to have started in and continuing to edit, it has made me a much faster and disciplined director.
Mike: Of your films Funhouse Massacre, and Badlands of Kain which would you say was your favorite filming?
Andy: Oh gosh, that's like asking who is my favorite kid. I loved making both for different reasons. Funhouse was much more in my comfort zone, because of the comedy element, that is where I feel most at home. But it was extremely challenging because of the scope of the film vs. our budget. We had to absolutely fly to get that film in the can. Kain was much more challenging for me as a director, as I struggle more with building drama and suspense. But I love that, I love showing up to set a bit scared to see if I can rise to the challenge everyday.
Mike:Both Films pay homage to classic television and movies, What made you decide to do theses types of Films?
Andy:I think that again goes back to my video store driven up bringing. First and foremost I am a fan of movies. I am just constantly lost in the magic of them, so I try to tell stories that pay tribute to those films.
Mike:Will we see more of homage type movies from you in the future?
Andy: I think so. I speak in movie quotes I relate most of my life to movies and tv, so I think I'll always in some way making homage's to my favorite films. But as I get older and more seasoned and the projects become more passion project oriented, I hope to really develop my own visual style. I just saw The Big Short, and I look at the passion and care that Adam McKay put into that film, and thought it was just brilliant.
Mike:What was your favorite slasher horror film?
Andy: In sixth grade our local theater played a 10 p.m. screening of the original Halloween on Halloween night and my parents let me go. I was enthralled with it, and the effect it had on the audience. So for me, there's no beating Michael Myers.
Mike: And your favorite Twilight Zone Episode?
Andy: It's a tie for me between "A Most Unusual Camera" where this group of crooks find a camera that takes pictures of the future and "Third from the Sun" which has this crazy twist at the end that I won't give away. That show just blows me away as every episode could be a stand alone film. It's amazing.
Mike: Before we let you go is there anything you wish to add?
Andy: I just want to say thank you so much to you and your fans, and that I hope they check out Badlands of Kain on VOD/DVD on April 5th and The Funhouse Massacre on June 7th.
Check out these great films you will not be disappointed. Thank you Andy for giving us a moment of your time.We look forward to more great films from you.

E3 2021 Preview & Predictions Spectacular
June 5, 2021 June 5, 2021 DomsPlaying
It's the holidays in June!
For gamers, that is.
After skipping last year due to obvious reasons, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) is back hosting gaming's biggest annual event. This time it's rebranded to the Electronic Entertainment Experience (E3) and presented in an all new digital format.
Admittedly everything is a bit scattershot especially since the ESA is leaning on companies to schedule their own times, plus there are events happening around it that aren't necessarily associated. (They like to stay close to capture that engaged audience, of course). It's really the general season that counts, giving everyone a reason to celebrate all the new reveals, trailers and inevitable surprises.
During this piece, I'll be covering previews and some (potentially bold) calls for various publishers that have formally announced their participation. Then will wrap up later with miscellaneous bets and random thoughts.
Here's a rough calendar of events, subject to change. Then it's time to get into the good stuff, and go on record with all my predictions!
Thursday, June 10th: Summer Games Fest.
Friday, June 11th: Netflix Geeked Week, Koch Primetime, IGN Expo.
Saturday, June 12th: Guerilla Collective, Wholesome Direct, Ubisoft Forward, Gearbox, Devolver Digital.
Sunday, June 13th: Xbox & Bethesda, Square Enix, PC Gaming Show, Future Games Show, Warner Bros.
Monday, June 14th: Take-Two, Capcom, Mythical Games, Freedom Games, Razer, Limited Run Games.
Tuesday, June 15th: Nintendo Direct & Treehouse Live. Bandai Namco. Yooreka Games, GameSpot, E3 Awards.
Koch Primetime (Friday, June 11th)
What We Know: Koch Media, a subsidiary of Embracer Group and overseer of Deep Silver, is hosting its first showcase actually before the start of E3 proper as part of Geoff Keighley's conveniently-timed Summer Games Fest. Making the lives of predictors everywhere easier, Deep Silver already announced there will be no news on its biggest franchises: Dead Island, Saints Row, Metro or TimeSplitters. And honestly, Koch has been stingy with any information about what will actually be shown. It's probably the publisher we know the least about when it comes to its streaming event. I mean, its tagline is actually "We Know Something You Don't Know." Okay then.
What I Predict: So, what the heck does that leave for the show? I expect something new from space shooter Chorus, currently slated for this year. Monster Energy Supercross 4 and MotoGP21 from Milestone are likely contenders. Iron Harvest and Phoenix Point with upcoming console releases are also a good bet. Here's the long shot: We know Koch recently signed a co-publishing deal with Starbreeze for Payday 3. While it's a long ways off, announced for 2023, let's say we'll get some sort of brief tease for that as well since it's an important opportunity for both companies.
Ubisoft Forward (Saturday, June 12th)
What We Know: French publisher Ubisoft's annual event really kicks off E3 weekend, and it's always well-produced and hosted by pros. Beginning with an hour-long pre-show showing updates for existing titles For Honor, Trackmania, The Crew 2, Brawlhalla and Watch Dogs: Legion plus more, the team will then shift focus to upcoming games Far Cry 6, recently slated for October, then undated titles Rainbow Six (Formerly Quarantine) and Riders Republic. Both Assassin's Creed Valhalla and the ever-present Rainbow Six Siege will have updates then Ubisoft Film & Television is scheduled to share more about its content.
What I Predict: Ubisoft claims there will be "a few additional surprises" during this Forward. What could they be? I'm thinking this is definitely where we learn more about the free-to-play Tom Clancy's The Division: Heartland. Beyond that, I'm not nearly as confident. There's a very slight chance that the recently-delayed Skull & Bones will make an appearance, it really needs some sort of showing to reassure folks that it's on track. There's infinitesimal odds of Beyond Good & Evil 2. And I don't think Prince of Persia: Sands of Time will be there. I am in fact anticipating a new project reveal, even if a tease or title card. Might even be a new virtual reality experience. Though I've got bad news in that it, in all likelihood, won't be a mainline Splinter Cell game.
Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase (Sunday, June 13th)
What We Know: Without Sony's participation this year, arguably the biggest event will be Xbox and Bethesda's joint presentation. Microsoft described the focus as being Xbox Game Studios, Bethesda plus third party collaborators. It technically hasn't confirmed any individual titles, though that doesn't mean there aren't those guaranteed, or close enough, to be present. Halo Infinite will have a blow-out. It legitimately can't have a poor showing, especially since it's the flagship title for Xbox's late year calendar. Forza Horizon 5 location reveal and trailer are nearly a lock. Psychonauts 2 from Double Fine is a shoe-in for both gameplay and formal launch date, which I expect to be very soon. July's The Ascent should be here. Then there's Starfield from Bethesda, which will almost certainly be displayed in some form even if no release window. Rounding it out will be a lot from Xbox Game Pass and the ID@Xbox indie program, naturally.
What I Predict: Within that hour and a half, there's a lot of room for unknowns. I'm thinking this would be a good time to see Halo Infinite multiplayer. And, yes, a battle royale mode which I believe absolutely has to be there right away to compete with modern F2P counterparts like Apex Legends and Call of Duty: Warzone. There will be a major Xbox Game Pass partnership. I'm calling Electronic Arts' new Battlefield launching into the service. Betting that Rare shares how its new IP Everwild is shaping up, then maybe a quick technical showpiece from Senua's Sacrifice Hellblade 2. Avowed from Obsidian is a good call. I'm not sure Perfect Dark reboot or State of Decay 3 will be present, same with Fable. Then, what's new from internal teams? I bet we learn what Compulsion Games is up to recently since We Happy Few is already three years old by now. The big one will be (another) Wolfenstein 3 from MachineGames. Yes, I know the team is working on an Indiana Jones project. Wolfenstein is just too significant a part of the portfolio to be overlooked if it's in any stage of progress to be shared publicly.
Square Enix Presents (Sunday, June 13th)
What We Know: Japanese publisher Square Enix will present Square Enix Presents and, as you can see above, we already know the highlights of what it's presenting. Headliner is a "world premiere" from Eidos Montreal. More from Babylon's Fall is guaranteed, September's Life is Strange: True Colors will be there and, yes, Crystal Dynamics will keep on supporting Marvel's Avengers with its upcoming Black Panther content.
What I Predict: With the show hitting a runtime of 40-minutes, Square Enix is teasing the old "and more" to keep us guessing. First off, leaks indicate that Eidos Montreal is building a Guardians of the Galaxy action-adventure game. Easy prediction there. More footage from Life is Strange: Remastered is highly likely. Forspoken is the new project from Luminous Productions, I think there will be a small section on that. Project Triangle Strategy should get an actual title that's probably just Project Triangle. I'd imagine there will be at least one mobile title featured. Something Dragon Quest, after its recent event. The big question comes down to Final Fantasy (doesn't it always with Square Enix)? Last we saw PlayStation 5 timed exclusive Final Fantasy XVI was around December. But I really think the company would lead with that as the headline if it was ready to take center stage, so I'm not sure it will be there in a major capacity. Or Final Fantasy VI Remake Part 2, for that matter.
Take-Two Interactive (Monday, June 14th)
What We Know: Not much at all other than Take-Two Interactive, owner of Rockstar Games and 2K Games, will be a part of the schedule for a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Panel Discussion.
What I Predict: To me, this 100% means Take-Two Interactive isn't sharing anything new at E3. Rumors point to Firaxis working on a strategy game in the Marvel universe while third party partner Gearbox Entertainment is cooking up a spin-off Borderlands entry called Wonderlands. While I'd absolutely flip out if the word BioShock was even uttered next week, don't get hopes up. This sounds like a quick appearance.
Capcom (Monday, June 14th)
What We Know: Capcom is another one of these parties simply listed on the ESA's website as having a "presentation" with no details whatsoever. The company hasn't posted any specifics or teases, its investor relations website was merely updated with a new event called E3 2021 that links back to the same ESA page.
What I Predict: Knowing this, I expect another quick block with limited potential for new reveals. Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is launching a month from now on Nintendo Switch and PC, so I bet it's the feature here. Resident Evil Village released in May as its flagship title in the series this year, while March's Monster Hunter Rise has already seen a couple updates to flesh out its endgame content. I'd say we see more from at least one of these. Going forward, I don't expect much in the way of new or remade Resident Evil reveals or something from series like Mega Man or, God forbid, Dead Rising. And I'll probably have to keep on waiting for my new Capcom fighting game prediction to come true. One day!
Nintendo Direct & Treehouse Live (Tuesday, June 15th)
What We Know: On the final day of E3 2021, Nintendo will step into the limelight and look to steal the show with its 40-minute Direct then three hours on gameplay details for select Switch titles. Though the company hasn't said exactly which games will be there, there are certain titles that are almost guarantees. Mario Golf: Super Rush launches weeks after the event, so lock that in during both portions. Game Builder Garage will already be out by then, however I think Nintendo reminds everyone of that here. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD hits in July, I'd be shocked if we don't see gameplay. A bit further out is Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl scheduled for November, which should be at least highlighted during the Direct. Plus there will be indies and ports galore, a staple of Switch ever since publishers recognize how well it's selling.
What I Predict: Note how I haven't mentioned the elephant in the room: The New Nintendo Switch Advance Pro Plus XL, or whatever the upgraded hardware iteration is going to be called. That's because I don't believe Nintendo will announce hardware during E3, and it's almost too late to reveal it beforehand now. It will instead reserve that for a future, separate Nintendo Direct digital event. Which also means that a lot from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel is up-in-the-air. My guess is a cinematic trailer with hints of gameplay footage during the Direct, though no hands-on time and a generic release window of Early 2022. In terms of other franchises, I'm skeptical of Metroid Prime 4 or Bayonetta 3 showing up in any meaningful capacity. Splatoon 3 looks far enough along that I could see even hands-on campaign play shown off. Pokémon Legends: Arceus now has a date of January 28, 2022, earlier than expected. So let's say there's a trailer for that here. Then there's Nintendo's classic "one more thing" moment. Mario Kart 9? Unlikely. Donkey Kong? Solid maybe. My inclination is a strong Super Mario Odyssey 2 tease, ending with a release window in 2022.
Miscellaneous Previews & Predictions (June 10th to June 15th)
What We Know: Well, there's certainly going to be a lot more shown during E3 and its surrounding showcases and panels that I can't possibly cover everything here. Warner Bros. will be there, focused on Back 4 Blood. Bandai Namco is assuredly bringing Scarlet Nexus. 24 Entertainment will show off its impressive Naraka: Bladepoint. A slew of third party and independent games via things like PC Gaming Show and Future Games Show plus enthusiast media coverage including IGN Expo and GameSpot's Play For All Showcase. There are too many titles to name that we know should be there, especially with more of a focus on indie teams. Personally, I hope indies like 12 Minutes, Oxenfree II: Lost Signals and She Dreams Elsewhere will be somewhere. One indie title we know won't be is Hollow Knight: Silksong. Unfortunately.
What I Predict: Here's where I swing for the fences and have a bit of fun. You've probably been waiting for me to say this: What about Elden Ring! Bandai Namco has a slot late on the final day, and I'm calling it for real: This is where the legendary FromSoftware will finally bless the gaming world with its secretive soulslike, role-playing collaboration with George R.R. Martin. And it will be glorious. Now, what else? Will Hideo Kojima make a surprise showing during Summer Games Fest with his upcoming title? I actually think there's a small yet not insignificant chance, given his bromance with Keighley. Will Microsoft acquire another studio? I wouldn't count on it. Finally, in my wildest prediction yet, I bet that gamers will get along and not be disappointed by anything all week!
All in all, even as spread out as this year's digital events will be, I'm just looking forward to having a few days dedicated to celebrating the industry and the hard-working people that grind it out every day. This is a special moment for them, those covering it like yours truly and everyone in the audience.
What about you? Which games are you most excited about over the next week or so? Are you willing to go on record with your most massively bold predictions? Feel free to share here or Twitter, especially as the big show approaches.
Good luck to all the teams showing off their games during this season. It's an exciting time. Enjoy your E3 everyone, and be safe.
