E3 2018 - Bethesda has announced during their E3 presentation that Prey will be receiving a brand new DLC, everyone prepare for a crash landing into the moon.

Mooncrash will be featuring four new modes, Story Mode, Survival Mode, New Game+ and a multiplayer. As you can imagine, Story Mode is for those players that wish to jump into the games story line, Survival Mode is for players that want to indulge in a hardcore survival experience that will include numerous difficulties such as oxygen levels and bleed status. New Game+ is also quite self explanatory, a much harder experience overall.

The DLC will be completely free and will also be featuring a new multiplayer mode as well. Players will be able to jump into "Typhon Hunter" and step into the shoes of minic's which can then take form as objects, much like a more polished and complicated prop hunt.

Back at E3 2015, Bethesda announced Fallout Shelter and once it was released it was quite the hit. Originally a fun project for Bethesda, fans took to the mobile edition the second it was released and now the app has been converted for Nintendo Switch users as well as PS4 players.

Todd Howard, Bethesda's game director announced that Fallout Shelter has been downloaded more than 120 million times, this number is actually higher than all of Bethesda's previous titles combined.

E3 2018 - One of the most exciting reveals from E3 2018 is Tom Clancy's The Division 2, which was shown off for the first time after it's early tease in March. We also have a release date, that I'm sure will be pushed back later this year - of March 15, 2019.

The Division 2 is also taking place in a new setting, moving from the cold weather of Manhattan to the hotter, swampy heat of Washington, D.C. which is set in the summer. The trailer above shows in-game footage of players accepting missions, cooperating to complete them, and a bunch of gameplay elements that have been tweaked from its predecessor.

The Division 2 will be released on March 15, 2019 for the Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

E3 2018 - Shadow of the Tomb Raider is another big game launching this year, with Microsoft debuting its new gameplay trailer during E3 2018. Check it out:

The new trailer teases a bunch of gameplay elements from the game, with more action, adventure and locations than ever before. Lara has a new ability in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, where she can swim underwater. This opens up new gameplay elements, where she gets washed under the water in a raging river and then gets to explore a sunken vehicle, fights enemies in a swamp, and other water-related areas.

The official description of Shadow of the Tomb Raider: "Experience Lara Croft's defining moment as she becomes the Tomb Raider. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Lara must master a deadly jungle, overcome terrifying tombs, and persevere through her darkest hour. As she races to save the world from a Maya apocalypse, Lara will ultimately be forged into the Tomb Raider she is destined to be".

E3 2018 - Battlegrounds had some E3 2018 love to share, with Microsoft's E3 2018 press release teasing that there are a few things coming to PUBG: Sanhok officially launches June 22, a ballistic shield is coming later this year, and a new snowy map should be launching in the winter.

There's a new trailer, above, that shows off some of this stuff, with the snowy map shown off right at the end. I've been wanting a snowy map for a while and funnily enough I was talking to my friends about this late last year, and here we are - PUBG's snowy map has been teased.

PUBG Corp said in their announcement: "This map is currently very early in development, and we're aiming to bring it to both PC and Xbox One this winter. Expect to see some new mechanics built around the snowy terrain".

E3 2018 - Battlefield V is going to be one of the biggest games of the year, with NVIDIA showing the game off and how it will play on the PC powered by their enthusiast level GeForce GTX 1080 Ti with the new Grand Operations game mode.

The new game mode was displayed on the Narvik map, which you can see in the above video. NVIDIA is powering Battlefield V with Game Ready drivers and Optimal Playable settings and I'm sure visuals that will blow our minds once it's on our PCs and powered by NVIDIA's new 4K 144Hz monitors and BFGDs... oh yes.

But what exactly is the new Grand Operations game mode? It sounds like one of the more exciting changes in Battlefield V, where Conquest, Rush and Operations game modes have evolved into Grand Operations.

E3 2018 - 4A Games hit their stride with the Metro games, with millions of gamers waiting for the third entry in the franchise with Metro Exodus, which had a gameplay trailer debut during E3 2018. Check it out:

Microsoft debuted the Metro Exodus gameplay trailer during their E3 2018 press conference, and it looks awesome. Some fans even cried over it:

Creative Director and co-founder of 4A Games, Andriy Prokhorov said: "We are so proud to finally be able to reveal our next Metro game to the world, and would like to thank all the Metro fans for their patience. Metro Exodus has been in development for three years between our Malta and Kyiv studios, and represents our most ambitious project yet".

Bethesda tonight confirmed that the long-rumored Starfield is real and will be its next major new game in its development slate.

E3 2018 has been crazy so far. Bethesda unveiled Fallout 76, confirming it's online-only with co-op and RPG mechanics set in an evolving world. Todd Howard also announced Starfield, a brand new IP that should utilize everything the company has learned throughout its entire 25 years of games development. Next to nothing is known about Starfield other than it's a "singleplayer space epic," it'll come after Fallout 76, and it's one of the studio's "big and crazy projects" Howard teased a while back.

The trailer shows what could be a tear in space or faster than light travel being triggered by sunlight, complete with some very 2001: A Space Odyssey colors and vibes.

Bethesda tonight formally announced The Elder Scrolls VI with a brief teaser clip.

We've known that Bethesda Game Studios has been working on The Elder Scrolls VI for a while now, and that it's one of the studios "big and crazy games" it currently has in development. BGS' Todd Howard didn't reveal any exact details about TES VI, nor did the trailer confirm an actual setting, but the game could take place in the Breton's homeland of High Rock, which is known for its mountain ranges.

Considering The Elder Scrolls VI is behind Bethesda's new IP Starfield, it may not release for quite some time...but it's definitely happening.

Fallout 76 is indeed an online-based game with RPG, survival, shooter and co-operative gameplay mechanics.

Fallout 76 is "entirely online," Bethesda's Todd Howard tonight confirmed. The game is a dynamic, evolving experience that's being built with new rendering and lighting effects that allow for 16 times the detail and visibility of far-away weather distance.

The game is an always-online experience, but it's not an MMO. It will have 100% dedicated servers and is designed to last for years, meaning it should have service game elements. You can play solo if you like, but things will be easier if you team up with friends or random players. "You'll be in a world with dozens of other players, not hundreds or thousands. You'll be able to join with your friends or anyone you want, whenever you want, and all of your progression goes with you," Howard said.

E3 2018 - The mega success of PUBG and Fortnite has seen DICE obsessed with the Battle Royale game mode, with the team announcing 'Royale' for Battlefield V during E3.

The official Battlefield Twitter account teases that Royale for Battlefield V is "reimagined with the core pillars of destruction, team play, and vehicles. It will be unlike anything you've played before, and we'll have more to talk about later this year". Sounds exciting to me, especially since we're not that far away from the release of Battlefield V.

If you thought this was EA shoving Royale down DICE's throats, you're wrong. It was actually DICE developers that had been playing Fortnite and PUBG and falling in love with Battle Royale that they developed Royale for Battlefield V. Normally it's the big bad studio that makes the developers throw in something that they otherwise didn't want to, just because it was popular (money maker), but to hear it was DICE's love of Battle Royale makes my heart warm.

Not only did CD Projekt RED "hack" Microsoft's E3 2018 stream, but they threw in a neat little secret message to fans in the latest Cyberpunk 2077 trailer.

It's been a bit since the new Cyberpunk 2077 trailer hit, but I'm still kind of reeling from its promises of exotic, gritty techno-punk action in a city overrun with flying cars. Cyberpunk 2077 is the biggest game the Polish devs have ever worked on and the new footage shows that quite clearly. Apart from the obvious hype-building visuals, the trailer actually contains a nice little nod from the devs at CDPR.

The message, stylized as a hack overlay, reinforces some info we already know about the game. Cyberpunk 2077 won't have microtransactions, CDPR confirms (but it could still have online elements to help buffer the enormous resources required for its huge living, breathing cities), but the studio still has no clue just when it'll launch. The company's recent fiscal reports say Cyberpunk 2077 should launch in 2021 alongside a new AAA RPG, however.

Cyberpunk 2077 finally gets a new trailer that shows off CD Projekt RED's incredibly ambitious vision.

We've been covering Cyberpunk 2077's developments for a while now, and we've been able to piece together some interesting tidbits over the years. Despite having an idea of what to expect--flying cars, living breathing cities, advanced AI--nothing really prepared me for what CD Projekt RED today dropped at Microsoft's E3 2018 presser: literally one of the best video game trailers I've ever seen.

Cyberpunk 2077 is an exotic world that's dripping with high-tech, neon-lit flavor. In many ways it seems like a fantasy world (or an AI's fever dream) whose technology is too accelerated for its own good. Citizens run amok wielding advanced guns, glowing outfits, and generally wreaking havoc wherever and however they can. While the trailer wasn't actually gameplay footage and instead used in-engine visuals, it still is something to marvel at and gives fans more than an idea of what to expect from CDPR's massive new game.

343 Industries is busily working on the next Halo game, which is codenamed "Infinite".

Halo didn't steal Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference like I had hoped. Instead of a triumphant demo that caused explosive yells from the audience, 343i showed off an engine tech teaser for its newest Slipspace Engine, which is powering the latest Halo project. Halo Infinite will continue Master Chief's journey past Halo 5 and should round out the Reclaimer Trilogy.

"In Halo Infinite we will join Master Chief on his most epic journey to save humanity," said Xbox division head Phil Spencer.

Bethesda's new Fallout 76 game will be absolutely massive, but no new details on its reported online mode were revealed.

Fallout 76 received a nice presence at Microsoft's E3 2018 showcase, including some new gameplay footage and a few meaty tidbits from Bethesda's Todd Howard. The exec confirmed a detail we already knew--the new Fallout is a prequel set 25 years after the Great War and before the original games--but we still have no clue if it's actually an experimental online survival RPG or not. But we do know it'll be absolutely huge.

"Fallout 76 is a prequel to all the other games. And it's our biggest one yet. Fallout 76 is four times the size of Fallout 4. Set in the hills of West Virginia, you are one of the first to emerge into an untamed and very different wasteland," Howard said on stage.

A batch of Assassin's Creed: Odyssey screenshots has been accidentally leaked ahead of E3 2018.

Ubisoft has confirmed its new Assassin's Creed game is called Odyssey and that it'll take place in ancient Greece, likely during the region's tumultuous battle with the Persian Empire. But aside from tidbits gleaned from a brief teaser and some images, no actual information has been unveiled by the publisher--it's of course waiting for its big E3 stage event.

In recent tradition, key details about the game have been leaked ahead of schedule. New Assassin's Creed: Odyssey screenshots were discovered by Gematsu on a German website's server, and assuming authenticity, they show quite a bit of info. Odyssey looks a lot like last year's excellent Hellenistic Egypt-based Origins insofar as visuals and overall mechanics--combat, UI, skill trees, inventory menus and environments all look close to Origins.

After many delays and setbacks, Kingdom Hearts III is finally coming early next year.

Kingdom Hearts III will release on January 29, 2019, the game's official Twitter account today announced. Originally due out in 2018, the massively anticipated RPG was hit with yet another delay to ensure optimum polish and performance as is so often the case in the games industry.

Originally confirmed at E3 2013, Kingdom Hearts III's development cycle has been tumultuous. The internal team at Square Enix made the decision to shift the game over to the Unreal Engine 4 which caused more delays. Tetsuya Nomura also confirmed that the dev team had limited personnel to work on the project--with less manpower the game would take more time to make.

EA's new Origin Access Premiere subscription will give instant access to the publishers newest games, similar to Microsoft's popular Game Pass service.

Origin Access Premiere costs $14.99 a month or $99.99 a year, and subscribers get full access to EA's new games like Anthem and Battlefield V as well as the original selection of vault titles. The service is currently exclusive to PC. Users also get unlimited trials of upcoming EA games, as well as five-day early access to all new titles.

"Origin Access Premiere will bring you all of our new PC games, starting with Madden NFL 19, back on the PC for the first time in over a decade, then FIFA 19, Battlefield V, and of course Anthem. And they'll be many more titles for the years to come," EA CEO Andrew Wilson said during the company's E3 press conference.
