Welcome to the LA Hangar for Bethesda E3. The fans are here, the press are here, the developers are here. We are ready to go but, what will Bethesda show us this year?
Last year was huge when we Bethesda did the very first E3 showcase. Fallout 4 will be a tough act to follow from a hype perspective anyway.
The live stream has started with a re-cap of everything that happened last year. We have seen Fallout 4 and also of the expansion content that has kept us busy. There has also been some showcasing of Fallout 4 mods.
We have seen some gameplay from Elders Scrolls: Legends and a replay of last years’ Dishonoured trailer which is launching November 11th.
Quake Champions
Quake is back! A competitive arena shooter and, it will be called Quake: Champions. More information on Quake will be given in August at Quakecon.
It’s 20 years since Quake was launched. The fast, skill-based arena-style competition that turned the original Quake games into multiplayer legends is making a triumphant return with Quake Champions. Running at an impressive 120hz with unlocked framerates, id Software’s new multiplayer shooter is getting ready to take PC gaming by storm once more.

Prey
Arkane Studios, the team behind the critically acclaimed Dishonored series, is bringing their unique vision to Prey, a first-person sci-fi action game that reimagines the franchise from the ground up… with an added psychological twist.
You are Morgan Yu, the subject of morally dubious experiments designed to improve the human race. You awaken aboard the Talos 1 in the year 2032 and must uncover the secrets hiding in the depths of the space station while being hunted by the mysterious alien force that has taken over. You’ll have to rely on the tools you find on the station – along with your wits, weapons and mind-bending abilities – to combat the growing threat and, hopefully, survive. Get your first look at Prey in the cinematic reveal trailer.
Prey will be available on PS4, Xbox One and PC in 2017.
