Bethesda: E3 2018 Conference Summary

532

The evening started strongly at 10pm with the Microsoft/Xbox conference. And after the adrenaline, the waiting. Indeed, due to jet lag, the Bethesda conference launched at 3:30 am French time. Infusion, tea and coffee are much more useful than a Curly! What did Bethesda have in store for us at E3 2018? The answer in information and trailers!

 

Rabies 2

Andrew W.K comes onto the stage and sends us big sound. But at this moment, a question nags us: are we on the official conference or on a hard rock concert? Rest assured! It's only to launch Rage 2 and introduce one of the musical themes of it! Rage 2 had leaked and now we at least have confirmation from the publisher. Rage 2 will be a single-player game with open world, vehicles, explosions and a Ruckus head for the collector's edition. It will be available in spring 2019.

 


 

Elder Scrolls Legends

The card game Elder Scrolls had changed developers at the beginning of June. Bethesda explains, however, that this change allows the game to be released on Xbox One, PC, PS4 and Switch and that it will bring some differences from the current version of the game.

 

Elder Scrolls Online : Summerset – Wolf Hunter – Mirkmire

Summerset, the expansion of the MMORPG that includes the homeland of the high elves and the Capital of Sunset is an extension already released in May on PC and early June on Xbox One and PS4. In addition to this small return on what we already knew, two other DLC are announced: Wolf Hunter with its dungeon and Mirkmire and its black swamps.

 


 

DOOM Eternal

The famous FPS returns and places the action on our land somewhat ravaged and occupied by demonic hordes.

 


 

Quake Champions

The FPS multi will be available for free all this week!

 


 

Prey Mooncrash

This standalone takes place in parallel with the events of Prey. Peter, a hacker, was monitoring TranStar's transmissions until there was suddenly nothing left. This disturbing silence pushes him to understand. The game will present itself as a Rogue like with different enemies, rather nervous with the idea of a simulation that starts again with each failure.

Mooncrash is available now for 19.99 euros !

Prey: Typhoon Hunter DLC (VR)

This DLC features a player-versus-player mode: one survivor must hide while five other players will do everything to find him.

 


 

Wolfenstein Youngblood

This standalone takes place in the Paris of the 80s, where the player will take control of the two Blaskowicz sisters who try to resist the Nazis. The little extra is that Youngblood is playable in co-op. It is scheduled for 2019.

Wolfenstein Cyberpilot (VR)

Additional content for Wolfenstein and VR of course!

 


Skyrim space troll

After 50 minutes of conference, Bethesda is self-deprecating by broadcasting a homemade video of "play Skyrim on all media". It's funny, but we don't really see the point.

 


Fallout 76

Very strange choice, Bethesda gives the same trailer broadcast during the Microsoft conference that took place shortly before.

Fortunately, Bethesda has a new video on the elbow. Phew, honor is safe!

Yes, Fallout 76 is indeed a multiplayer game. And for lovers of SF RPG, it will be necessary to crush your irresistible desire for solo! On the program, what we expect from an MMORPG: PvP, Pve, housing, survival, co-op… and even housing! The game will be released well this year, a beta phase will be available for those who pre-order. 

For those who would like a collector's edition, you will be served with the Power Armor Edition.

STARFIELD

Bethesda's new IP: we already knew the logo, but since nothing more under the sun. It's hard to know exactly what this very, very short teaser is all about. We can consider a science fiction game, but remains to define in what form, the lore … and the stakes!

 


Elder Scrolls VI

This is undoubtedly the game that fans have been looking forward to with great anticipation. And it is certain that this teaser alone must delight lovers of the license.

 

Bethesda never really found its rhythm, oscillating between long endless speeches and silent, even awkward moments. If the absolute fans of Elder Scrolls will be satisfied with this half teaser of end, the other players can feel a little bitter, especially the Europeans who lasted until 3:30 to follow a conference in whole tasteless.
