By David Yee June 14, 2015

Bethesda_Softworks_Logo Tonight Bethesda Softworks is going to take to the spotlight with its very first E3 presentation this year, a move that was met with wild speculation when first announced. You’re probably expecting to see more Fallout 4, but we’ve become aware of a leak that strongly suggests that there are more surprises planned. The show will be streamed live on Twitch.tv and YouTube from the Dolby Theater in Hollywood at 6:45 PM PST.

Fallout 4

The hype for Fallout 4 has been huge ever since the trailer was released on June 3rd. This game will be the sequel to Bethesda Game Studio’s Fallout 3 released in October 2008 and Obsidian Entertainment’s Fallout: New Vegas released in October 2010 and will be Bethesda Game Studio’s first game release since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in November 2011. Fallout 4 details are sparse at this time. All that is known about the game is based on the official trailer released last week. The game is set in an alternate future version of Boston, where nuclear war has ravaged civilization and the few human survivors make their living amidst limited resources and hostile mutants.

The Elder Scrolls Online

Information regarding a new Elder Scrolls title is unlikely, though Bethesda is likely to address ZeniMax Online Studios’ The Elder Scrolls Online Tamriel Unlimited. The massive multiplayer game was originally released as The Elder Scrolls Online in July 2014 and was supported by a monthly subscription fee. However, declining numbers of players prompted a new funding model. Earlier this year in March, the monthly subscription was eliminated the game was relaunched as The Elder Scrolls Online Tamriel Unlimited and new users are only required to purchase the base game to play.

This will be the game’s second E3 appearance following the release of a teaser trailer during E3 2014. This will be the fourth game in the Doom series however it has not been confirmed if this new game will be a sequel to Doom 3 or a Doom reboot. doom_4_logo_e3_2015

BATTLECRY

BATTLECRY is an upcoming free-to-play cooperative-competitive multiplayer shooter from Battlecry Studios not too much unlike Valve’s Team Fortress 2 and Blizzard Entertainment’s upcoming Overwatch. Set in an alternate 1900s where gunpowder is banned, teams of players engage in combat while completing objectives using a variety of melee weapons and high-tech gadgets. Beta testing is expected to begin later this year. BATTLECRY twitterbg

Unannounced Dishonored Sequel

Bethesda accidently spilled the beans on what could be Arkane Studios’ Dishonored 2 during yesterday’s Twitch broadcast test. Mirrored copies of the footage feature what could be Rafael Colantonio and Harvey Smith, the co-creators of Dishonored, who could appear during Bethesda’s E3 presentation. Dishonored is a stealth action-adventure video game released in October 2012. dishonored_splash

We’ll be tuning in to Bethesda’s E3 presentation to see what we can expect later in the week when we’ll be at the E3 2015 show floor where we’ll hopefully get to see these games in person.
