The tweet links through to a blog post on Bethesda.net that at least confirms fans will get a closer look at Doom Eternal . The release reads, "We want to 'Be Together' with all of you this year and with that in mind we are planning to invite more of you, our biggest fans, to join us on our biggest night of the year." It definitely sounds like things will be bigger and better for Bethesda at E3 2
Bethesda’s 2018 E3 showing was one for the ages; Doom Eternal, Rage 2, Starfield , Fallout 76 , and The Elder Scrolls VI were all shown in some capacity, and, when it came to topping last year’s efforts, Bethesda certainly had their work cut out for them. Were we destined to get a look at the Maryland-based developer’s new, mysterious science fiction IP? No, of course
That made the potential Starfield screenshot leak this fall even more exciting, as it represented the first look at an otherwise mysterious project from one of the biggest game developers around. While their validity was called into question at the time, it now seems more likely that they were legitimate. That’s thanks to Bethesda managing director Ashley Cheng, who recently appeared in a montage from Develop:Brighton, where Todd Howard was accepting a Develop:Star Award. As spotted by Reddit user Rynderend , Cheng is seen wearing a Starfield shirt with a logo on the sleeve identical to the one shown on the character’s spacesuit in the leaked Starfield Gameplay|https://starfieldgalaxy.com/ screenshot. The matching logos lend credence to the screenshot being real, as it would be quite the coincidence if Bethesda just happened to pick the same design for its Starfield merchand
The longer we go without hearing from those directly working on Starfield , the more it will begin to feel like vaporware. Sure, the game will almost certainly release at some point in the future, but could there be more internal strife at Bethesda than we know? Could this end up being something like The Last Guardian or Duke Nukem Forever —games that were hinted at many years before they actually released? It’s hard to say for sure, but, if Bethesda continues to keep Starfield under wraps at next year’s E3, we may be in for some trou
Fans, though slightly disappointed by Bethesda’s presentation as a whole, don’t seem to be quite as upset about the lack of TES 6 , instead showing more concern for Starfield . While we have yet to see any concrete gameplay, we all have a general idea of what the new Elder Scrolls title will be about. That isn’t the case for Starfield ; aside from a very vague space-faring sci-fi concept, we know virtually nothing about this g
In a surprising social media post, Bethesda revealed that it has donated a bundle to the Make-A-Wish Foundation's auction. The highest bidder for the company’s package will have the opportunity to make a character for Starfield . In addition, the auction winner will walk away with an Xbox Series X, recalling that Bethesda recently announced that it would be acquired by the console’s creators , and sixteen titles from the studio. Several of the games seem to come from some of Bethesda’s most popular franchises including The Elder Scrolls, Wolfenstein , and Doom . At the time of writing, the ongoing bidding for the Bethesda bundle is just north of $2,000. Interestingly, the auction’s website goes into slightly more detail about what the winner can expect than the studio's post. It states that the highest bidder can look forward to working with the team behind the game, naming Todd Howard specifically, and that the winner should expect to " schedule time to create the character within 3 months of 2/28/202
So, what exactly did they do to grab the attention of attendees and stream followers alike? Well, aside from an adorable Japanese game dev and an overly zealous yelling man in the audience who may or may not have been Eric Andre, not a whole lot. Proceedings initiated with Todd Howard pretending to tuck his tail between his legs and apologize/poke fun at the notoriously awful launch of Fallout 76 . Bethesda then incited many an incredulous eyebrow raise as it was announced that their divisive entry into the Fallout franchise would, at long last, be receiving human NPCs—a long-awaited community request which was subtly joked about in the update’s trailer—alongside a new battle royale mode for which none of the game’s twelve remaining players as
However intriguing this auction prize may be, it still does not give fans much more concrete details about the game itself. There may be some news on the horizon, though. Jeff Grubb, noted industry insider, hinted on his podcast last week that Microsoft may currently be planning an event in which the company will discuss its intentions for Bethesda. There has been no official word about this from either company, howe
The inclusion of #BE3 twinkling in stars is the biggest nod that there'll be more information on the highly anticipated Starfield . As it stands, little is known about the ambitious single-player game set in the depths of space , other than the fact Starfield has been in the works since 2008 . With Starfield already said to be about next-gen hardware and next-gen gaming , it's no surprise that there'll be a bit of a wait before it finally hits consoles even if this year's E3 turns out to be the home of Xbox's next-gen hardware announceme
