Bethesda literally took E3 by storm even before it could start, even as games like Fallout 4, Dishonored 2 and Doom made their appearances at the publisher’s conference. All these titles have received gameplay showcases as well moreover, providing fans with lots to be happy about.
The release date for Fallout 4 which we’ve seen a huge glimpse of has been disclosed to be November 10, 2015. It’s now always that a Bethesda game gets revealed and released in the same year, but whatever the case, the announcement is great news for players as they won’t have to wait too long to get their hands on the game.
This title’s story begins on the day the bombs fall in Fallout’s post-apocalyptic open world, and the gameplay actually starts 200 years later when the player character – male or female – awakens in the future. This fourth installment has been under developed from 2009 onwards using a modified version of Bethesda’s Creation Engine.
The company has crafted a real Pip-Boy accessory which will be granted to those who purchase Fallout 4’s Collector’s Edition. These players will be able to fit their smartphones into its chassis and run the special app which turns them into the electronic device which we’ve seen in the previous games from the series.
That’s not all; a new game named Fallout Shelter has already been released by the publisher for iOS through the App Store. Inspired by the likes of SimCity, it allows you to make your own vaults in the Fallout universe. This title is also slated to hit Android devices in the future.
Coming to Dishonored 2, this sequel to the hugely popular stealth-action offering from 2012 will be arriving for the PS4, the Xbox One and PC, just like Fallout 4. It will let you play as either Corvo or the Empress’ daughter Emily Kaldwin.
A full-blown trailer for it was also revealed at E3, and can be spotted in the space above. This game will be released sometime in 2016, but later this year fans will get to dive into its predecessor’s Definitive Edition that will ship with updated graphics for the PS4 and the Xbox One.
Doom is another big game to have come out of Bethesda’s keynote at this year’s E3. It’s slated to arrive for the PS4, the Xbox One and PC in spring 2016. It will feature single-player and multiplayer modes, and a special map creation tool that will work across all platforms.
With Bethesda having come out all guns blazing at this E3, let’s see what Sony, EA, Ubisoft and Microsoft have in store for us.
