After the astounding number of games showcased at Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference, Bethesda stepped in to finish the second day with a bevy of game announcements. The company's press conference finally discussed the hotly anticipated Fallout 76, which emphasizes online play--though it can also be played single-player. In addition, it discussed the open-world first-person shooter, Rage 2.
Bethesda also revealed new details and DLC updates for games, like Prey and The Elder Scrolls Legends. Though, one of the show's most fascinating reveals came in the form of The Elder Scrolls: Blades, a free-to-play mobile game designed to emulate the experience of playing an Elder Scrolls game on consoles. It includes PvP elements, as well as town-building mechanics where you can build up your town and unlock more quests and NPCs.
But Bethesda didn't stop there. We also got new information for other big games, like Doom Eternal, Wolfenstein Youngbloods, a new IP called Starfield, and even the highly-requested The Elder Scrolls VI. Suffice it to say, there were plenty of exciting games to go around. If you want to catch up on everything, then check out our Bethesda E3 news roundup.
Bethesda's E3 presentation contained a plethora of intriguing new games, so be sure to check out the rest of this feature for an even closer look at what it had to offer. In the meantime, which games from the press conference are you most excited about? Let us know in the comments below.
Doom Eternal
Doom Eternal is the upcoming sequel to the critically-acclaimed Doom reboot from 2016. The game takes everything that the previous game did and pushes it forward: the Doomslayer is more powerful than before, the number of enemies have doubled, and it takes place on Earth.
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA
The Elder Scrolls Blades
The Elder Scrolls Blades is a first-person, melee experience that focuses on the type of combat seen in other Elder Scrolls games. Players adventure through dungeons, but can also engage in PvP duels and city-building mechanics.
Platforms: iOS, Android, PC | Release Date: Fall 2018
The Elder Scrolls: Legends
The Elder Scrolls: Legends, the collectable card game, is finally releasing on consoles. This free-to-play game features a single-player campaign, a competitive Versus mode, and an arena mode where players take on NPC enemies.
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch (Already available on mobile and PC) | Release Date: TBA 2018
The Elder Scrolls VI
Bethesda finally announced the next game in the Elder Scrolls series: The Elder Scrolls VI. No other details about it were provided outside of a short teaser. It shows a mountainous region and some fog accompanied by a version of the iconic Dovahkiin music. A setting wasn't specified, although fans are sure to do some sleuthing to narrow down the list of possibilities. Hopefully, we'll get more details sooner rather than later.
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA
Fallout 76
Fallout 76 is the latest entry in the tenured post-apocalyptic RPG franchise. It's the earliest game in the Fallout timeline, and it features major online components. From its recent trailers alone, the game has already captured the attention of the series' most ravenous fans. We're already imagining what sort of fights and awkward encounters we'll get into with others during our post-apocalyptic jaunt through the American wasteland.
Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One | Release Date: November 14
Fallout Shelter
Fallout Shelter is making its way to PS4 and the Nintendo Switch. Originally released on iOS, Android, and later on Xbox One, the game is a free-to-play survival simulator where you manage a Fallout vault.
Platforms: PS4, Nintendo Switch | Release Date: Available Now
Quake Champions
Quake Champions is the follow-up to 2005’s Quake 4. This class-based first-person shooter will feature dozens of unique characters who each play differently and have their own separate skillsets.
Platforms: PC | Release Date: Available Now (Early Access)
Rage 2
Rage 2 is perhaps the most unlikely sequel to come out of E3 this year, but with id Software bringing Avalanche Studios along for the ride there's plenty of reason to be excited about its potential. Avalanche has years of experience crafting large and chaotic worlds in games like Mad Max and Just Cause, with vehicle combat and special effects chief among their notable talents. Id, of course, is the studio that pioneered first-person shooting and continues to deliver hard-hitting games like 2016's Doom. It could be a match made in heaven, but we won't know until it ships sometime in 2019.
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC | Release Date: Spring 2019
Starfield
For the first time in 25 years, Bethesda is creating a new IP. We don’t know much about Starfield. However, based on the game’s title and brief teaser trailer, it’s probably safe to say that this RPG will take place in space. Or a field. But probably space.
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA
Wolfenstein Youngblood
Wolfenstein Youngblood is set in an alternate 1980s Paris and follows the events of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. It stars series protagonist BJ Blazkowicz's twin daughters, who are working together to continue the fight against the Nazis. The game can be played solo or co-op.
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA 2019
