After Sony’s State of Play and Kickoff Live, it’s now up to Xbox and Bethesda to take center stage with their conference this weekend. The two publishers will jointly host a crazy evening of announcements, slightly Xbox and PC oriented.
We told you a little earlier, the summer video game season is in full swing in the middle of June. Publishers and developers come together for several events, the biggest of which is undoubtedly the Summer Game Fest. Geoff Keighley’s festival is taking advantage of the absence of E3 to grab all the exclusives and announcements of the moment, and can boast of including the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase alongside it. This massive conference will take place this weekend and promises us many surprises and novelties, trailers and gameplay sequences of all kinds, for some of the most anticipated games of the coming months.
Where and when to see the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase?
To cut to the chase, the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase will take place this Sunday June 12 at 7 p.m. (French time). If you want to watch the announcements and trailers live, you can go to the official youtube channel from Xbox. A well-supported conference since it will take place on the same day as the PC Gaming Show which will start at 9:30 p.m. It will be dedicated to future releases from the now joint universe of Microsoft and Bethesda, and will offer us to discover the next Xbox exclusives and the future of the Xbox Game Pass. Sony fans do not panic, it is quite possible to find PS5 and PS4 games on the program.
What games will be at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase?
A question not obvious since the speculations are numerous. The biggest star (and it is the case to say it) of the evening will undoubtedly be Starfield. The upcoming open-world RPG ranks as one of Bethesda’s biggest projects to date, and most importantly, it’s not an Elder Scrolls or a Fallout. Because if the recent iterations of these two franchises have been able to disappoint despite all the good (it is false) faith of Todd Howard, we still know the pedigree of Bethesda in terms of original creations and RPGs in the open world. Especially since Starfield has been giving everyone great vibes since its announcement a year ago now. We can also mention Avowed, the medieval-fantasy FPS, and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, the exploration and horror game from Ninja Theory.
What games won’t be at the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase?
Unfortunately for many Xbox console veterans, Fable won’t normally be on the evening’s menu this weekend. The new iteration of the legendary franchise could take a little longer to show itself according to Jeff Grubb, journalist and influencer. This will undoubtedly be the case for Perfect Dark and STALKER 2. For the second, difficult to expect much at the conference this weekend, GSC Game World being a studio initially based in kyiv, although its employees have recently affirmed that its development continued. In any case, we wish their entire team a quick return to normal.
