With E3 right around the corner, Xbox fans are more excited than ever to see what Microsoft has in store for this year's event, especially as the company's recent acquisition of Bethesda suggests it has plenty to show. Earlier today, the console manufacturer announced exactly when players will get to see both publishers' shows, with the pair set to debut a collaborative broadcast on June 13.
Dubbed the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, the event will take place live at 10:00 AM PT on YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, and Facebook. Although there are no announcements regarding what Bethesda and Microsoft are going to show, Xbox's official Twitter account claims that the event will center on games, world premieres, and new titles slated to make their way to Game Pass.
It already sounds like a huge event, especially considering both Bethesda and Xbox are developing an array of exciting projects that fans can't wait to see more of. Regarding Microsoft, the console manufacturer has several major games that could turn up during the showcase.
It's wise to imagine Halo Infinite will get a huge showing, with the game sitting front and center on the showcase's teaser image. However, the company also has Forza, Avowed, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, State of Decay 3, Perfect Dark, STALKER 2, and the new Fable waiting in the wings.
Meanwhile, Bethesda has more than its fair share of exciting games to show, whether that's the recently announced Indiana Jones adaptation or Starfield, which has been the source of plenty of recent rumors and speculation. The publisher's two biggest games slated for this year are Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo, although both titles will be launching as console exclusives for the PlayStation 5. It'll be interesting to see whether they make an appearance during the show considering Bethesda will be sharing its time with Microsoft.
The event is sure to be one to watch for Xbox and Bethesda fans, with this being their first E3 under the same roof. The annual convention is already shaping up to be a very different convention this year, going all-digital for the first time. It will be hosted through an online portal, with fans able to visit virtual booths, chat in online forums, hang out in lounges, and even compete through integrated leaderboards. Although the lineup isn't as stacked as most years, there's still plenty of big names attending the event, including Nintendo, Square Enix, Capcom, Bandai Namco, Sega, and more. E3 is set to take place between June 12 and June 15.
