After a very lengthy pre-show, Bethesda began their conference, and unlike EA’s earlier today, a lot of information was revealed about their upcoming games.
In terms of major announcements, after puzzling the viewers by just showing last year’s trailer, we got an absolute ton of new information regarding Dishonored 2, the setting in which it will take place, and the new abilities our protagonists will use to sneak around and take down enemies. We have a full article on the subject here. It’ll be coming out this November 11th.
Additionally, a new Quake title, Quake Champions was revealed, but info is sparse, outside of confirmation that it will be keeping the fast, competitive gameplay that made the older entries so popular. We have the info covered here, but Id Software has promised to show off more at Quake Con.
Finally, a new survival horror title in the Prey series was revealed. Easily the most mysterious of the announced games, the new entry, simply titled Prey, is a psychological thriller set on an alien infested space station.
