Bethesda at E3 2019
It’s the fifth annual Bethesda E3 Showcase but the chills still feel brand new every time our developers take the stage to show the world what they’ve been working on.
2019’s Showcase expanded the worlds you love, from Appalachia’s newest residents in Fallout 76’s Wastelanders update to the embattled savannahs of The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr and a twisted alternate history Paris in Wolfenstein: Youngblood. We introduced brand-new worlds for the very first time with a uniquely Tango Gameworks version of modern-day Japan in Ghostwire: Tokyo, and the mysterious island of Blackreef in Deathloop. We even saw the return of a familiar face with the rebirth of a cult classic, Commander Keen.
And that wasn’t all – we unveiled exciting updates to several of our released titles, with new content announced for RAGE 2, The Elder Scrolls: Blades and The Elder Scrolls: Legends. Our community also got a glimpse into the future of gaming itself with Orion’s bleeding-edge streaming technology.
Read on for more details, features, trailers and more from everything shown on stage at this year’s Bethesda E3 Showcase!
