Here’s Everything We Know Bethesda Will Show at E3 2018

Fallout 76

Bethesda had everyone in a tizzy last week with its surprise Fallout stream. After making fans wait for almost an entire day, they finally revealed a short teaser for a new game called Fallout 76. This is a clear reference to Vault 76, which was referenced several times in Fallout 3. According to the series’ wiki, Vault 76 was a control vault that was meant to be used as a baseline for the rest of the experimental vaults in the world.

Not much else is known about the game just yet, and we’ll learn more about it when Bethesda gives it a proper showcase. However, a report from Kotaku suggests that this will be an online survival RPG that is heavily inspired by games like DayZ and Rust. If true, this will be quite the departure from the regular Fallout mainline games, which may or may not alienate longtime series fans. Still, we’ll only know if these rumors are true during Bethesda’s conference.

Rage 2

Rage 2 was officially unveiled in a teaser trailer just last month. Bethesda showed off various factions and locations in the game, and it was also revealed that the game was being developed by both id Software and Avalanche Studios, who developed the latest Mad Max game.

As far as story details go, Bethesda has also revealed that players will take control of Walker, a Ranger in the wasteland who’s been robbed by agents of The Authority. The game features a large open world, tons of weapons for you to play with, and lots of first-person shooting action. The game is slated for a 2019 release, so we’re expecting to get a more specific release window during Bethesda’s conference, along with even more gameplay footage for the action game.

Potential Surprises

Outside of Fallout 76 and Rage 2, the company hasn’t confirmed that they’ll be showing any other games at E3 2018. However, we can always speculate. It’s likely we’ll see something related to Elder Scrolls Legends and potentially ESO as well. We’re definitely expecting to see some Switch footage of Wolfenstein II, since the port will be released later this month. In addition to that, now could also be a good time to unveil potential expansions and DLC for both Dishonored 2 and Wolfenstein II. Other possibilities include a follow-up to Fallout Shelter, or even a port of that game to the Switch.

If you want to be really optimistic, it’s also possible that Bethesda could reveal the sixth entry in the Elder Scrolls series. It’s been seven years since Skyrim’s (original) release, and it’s basically been ported to every other console that’s launched since then, in every way imaginable. Look, Bethesda. It’s time to put Skyrim to rest and finally give us a look at our next adventure in Tamriel.

Bethesda’s E3 2018 conference will begin on June 10, at 9.30 p.m Eastern time.
