E3 2017 – Bethesda
Bethesda packed a lot into the short time into their showcase at E3 this year; here’s a round up of all the show’s main highlights:
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
The war isn’t over until BJ Blazkowicz says it’s over. After narrowly surviving his final mission in Wolfenstein: The New Order, BJ is headed to the US to face off against the Nazi regime on his home turf in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. He’ll need to gather what resistance forces he can if he hopes to end their reign of tyranny in America.
A lengthy eight minutes of a reveal trailer was shown at E3 this year – the follow up to Wolfenstein: The New Order looks a treat – it’s now available for pre-order and has a release date of October 27th 2017.
The Evil Within 2
From Tango Gameworks and horror mastermind Shinji Mikami comes The Evil Within 2, the sequel to the widely-praised 2014 survival horror game. In order to save Lily – the daughter he believed he lost years ago – Sebastian will have to step into the madness once again. Announced during the Bethesda E3 2017 Showcase, The Evil Within 2 will launch worldwide on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on Friday the 13th in October 2017.
