Here's the recap:
- Starting the conference with a "here are the people of Behesda" to showcase that yes, developers ARE real people. Crazy!
- Pete Hines is happy that his team won the Stanley Cup.
- Rage 2 is first up, with a friendly jab at WalMart Canada for accidentally listing the product early. And look! Andrew W. K. is up to give us a musical interlude. This is already funny and way more entertaining then the last 2 presentations. Hope the audience enjoys Bethesda's randomness.
Awkwardness ensues after the song. Rage 2 was produced by Avalanche Studios with Bethesda helping back it. The second game takes place in a post-apocalyptic future, of course. Mutants have taken over and it's your job as Walker, the last Ranger, to fight back. Missions litter the open landscape with various enemies. Loads of weapons and vehicles will aid your quest.The game is boasting a seamless open world and semi-destructible environments. Think 'Mad Max' with the environment and Mercenaries 2 game play.
- The Elder Scrolls: Legends - the Bethesda card game. I tried this out at PAX and it was okay. The game is expanding beyond PC to be on all major consoles. And the promo is focusing on how addictive the game is. Interesting choice...
- The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset. This latest chapter was released last week, so if you're already playing the game you know what's going on. The MMO is surprisingly doing well with 11 million registered users, with a 1 million growth from the past year (note: it's registered, not active users). Some of the other games are peeking in here and there to add more depth to the world. It's a trailer for Summerset if you're not in the game now, well, there you go.
- Doom Eternal. I think this is the sequel to the new Doom. The game will be demoed at Quakecon. That's it! Details, done! Next!
- Quake Champions. The latest in the franchise has had a shaky start. People can trial it for the free-to-play version today. Some new characters and weapons have been added with an update to maps. Having seen this demoed at Quakecon last year I'm a bit skeptical on where this will go. But hoping for the best. Quake was one of my earliest arena games.
- Prey fans, you are getting a free update tonight. It includes story mode and survival mode. There will also be DLC in the future. Also, best use of 80's music ever for a trailer. Later this summer another mode will be introduced as a 5v5 Prop Hunt.

- Wolfeinstein Youngblood will push the story forward, telling the tale of BJ's twin daughters in 1980's France. A co-op game! Coming in 2019. That's all for now. Interested to see where this goes. Wolfeinstein Cyberpilot also announced as a new VR game where you can take over a Nazi cybersuit to, and I'm quoting Pete Hines here, "f over Nazi's on every platform possible."
- Right now we're being trolled about Skyrim/Elder Scrolls by using an Alexa Amazon assistant.
- Okay. NOW it's Fallout: 76. Reiterating the content from XBox presentation's earlier today - this is a prequel to all previous Fallout games set in West Virginia. You're the first set of survivors that come out of the vault directly after the nuclear fallout. So far it's the same trailer shown.
Alright! We've got some starting game footage. It's reclamation day. You and the team have been underground for 25 years waiting for this day. The footage right now is showing you walking through to the opening of the vault and the open landscape. This leads to an open mountain landscape that doesn't look too bad from the fallout...at first. You'll be sent to 6 areas to handle quests the Overseer provides you and the others. There are some new creatures and baddies to face.
Fallout: 76 is entirely online. Obviously there are loads of questions about this.
Your progression goes with you. The open world is meant to be inhabited by the players. We'll be able to shape the world how we want. Some of your fellow Survivors will be helpful and friendly. some will not. All while dodging the mutants of the wasteland! You can still play solo or play with a team. Standard content from past games are there such as crafting, building your own homestead/shelter with friends. Oh, and there are nuke sites on the map that you can interact with...yeah. Yeah. There will be so much chaos.
There will be a beta, but more importantly a collector's edition? Somehow that's more important. Anyway, you get a glow in the dark map of the new region. Some figurines to place on said map. And a helmet! No details on the beta, but it's best to look to the Fallout site to sign up.
Fallout:76 for a November 14th release. This. Year.
- Other Fallout news. Shelter will be available on PS4 and Switch - still free! Shelter is a fun game so I'd recommend downloading it. They are coming out tonight.
- Another new mobile game - The Elder Scrolls Blades. A first person RPG. It looks surprisingly well for a mobile game. Tap and swipe to move and attack. You can use abilities and spells while you dungeon crawl. There is also arena mode, where you can battle with other players. The primary mode is "town" where you can run through a story and upgrade the city. You can even visit your friend's towns. Their dream is to allow for the game to be played on multiple devices and allow all users to interact with each other. It will be free and you can register tonight for pre-order.
- Bethesda is wrapping up their panel with the "future" with a new IP. Starfield. Something space related. We got a space station opening up as the sun sets behind a planet...and black out!
- But oh wait. There's more! Here comes another The Elder Scrolls. Not Skyrim #5928. Number 6. Teaser trailer and a standing ovation by the crowd.
And with that, we are done! While it was a lot more talking than the other presentations, there was content that helped flesh out the game details. Which was very much appreciated. So far Bethesda is winning on the presentations, even with the awkward presenters.
