However, it is important to note that not all E3 2021 companies will have their own conference to announce their new games or updates. In contrast, Ubisoft, Microsoft + Bethesda, Nintendo e Square Enix will present their own events to reveal their innovations.
O Ubisoft Forwards takes place on June 12, Saturday, at 16 pm. The t presentation by Microsoft and Bethesda is scheduled for the 13th, at 14 pm on Sunday, in a show that is expected to last about 90 minutes. Nintendo and Square Enix have yet to release their schedule, but historically Square has usually performed on Monday or Tuesday afternoons, while Nintendo has adopted lunchtime, usually on Wednesdays.
In parallel, other companies can also make announcements, either at previous conferences, or through communication channels such as YouTube and other social networks.
Microsoft + Bethesda 2m4i38
Departing specifically for the most important conferences of the event, Microsoft and Bethesda will make a single presentation together, since the company of Bill Gates acquired Zenimax in September of last year. As it is a recent purchase, it is not yet possible to fully measure whether we will already have major announcements, as the purchase is still too recent.
Be that as it may, fans are eagerly waiting for more details on Starfield, Bethesda's next big RPG set in space. And that's all we know so far. According to some rumors, the game would still be a little far from being released, but the company intends to show it at the event. The Elder Scrolls VI is another game that shouldn't see the light of day anytime soon, and it's good not to create too many expectations that the project will be shown.
The Fallout franchise is also a mystery to us, but fans seem to want a sequel to the critically acclaimed Fallout New Vegas, developed by Obsidian, which curiously was bought by Microsoft recently.
On the other hand, Bethesda studios may be working on very interesting titles. It's possible that we'll see something about the Wolfenstein franchise from Machine Games. Arkane appears to be working on a new vampire-themed game, while DOOM is expected to stay out of the spotlight as it received its latest expansion recently and iD Software should still be in the early stages of its next project.
Now, if things are slightly hazy for Bethesda, Xbox Game Studios has big developers on hand, but we don't know exactly what will be shown. Some leaks reveal that titles like Everwild, Perfect Dark and State of Decay 3 are not expected to gain new information due to the production stage not being so high. Fable, and especially Hellblade 2 can appear in the presentation, although without great details.
Halo Infinite and the Forza Horizon, in turn, should be unanimous presences to fill the Xbox catalog by the end of 2021, as well as Psychonauts 2 and Microsoft Flight Simulator. Obsidian should reveal more information about Avowed, RPG inspired by the world of Pillars of Eternity, and there is the possibility of just an announcement of a sequel to The Outer Wilds, very well received by critics and public.
If the range of exclusives from Microsoft's own studios may leave something to be desired, there is a good possibility of announcing partnerships with other developers for temporary or permanent exclusives. Furthermore, Phil Spencer seems to be sticking with the idea of acquiring more studios for the company's portfolio, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Xbox division gain an additive.
Microsoft's E3 conferences are widely known for the large amount of third-party announcements, that is, companies that will publish their games on other platforms. Among them it would not be surprising to see games from Capcom, Warner Bros. or even From Software.
Game Summer Fest 5685h
Following a similar footprint to E3 2021, Summer Game Fest can be a little confusing. The initiative comes from journalist and presenter Geoff Keighley, creator of The Game Awards. The SGF is a series of small events, starting on the 10th, Thursday, at 15:XNUMX, with numerous announcements, and extending until mid-August, with a series of smaller presentations for specific games.
And Sony? 5s4w1x
You may have noticed that the house of PlayStation was left out of the list of companies at E3 2021. This is because the Japanese giant decided to abandon the fair and continue with its own event, which still does not have an official date. Some rumors point out that this conference would be held on June 28, with big announcements for the developer's title, but we still haven't had confirmations from Sony.
So, excited for E3 2021? So stay tuned to showmetech for full coverage of the event.
