From conferences to games and peripherals, we've rounded up the best of E3 2021, with never-before-seen announcements and triumphant returns from beloved franchises.

Coming back from the limbo of its coronavirus hiatus, the Electronic Entertainment Expo this year was in a fully digital format, with several companies, developers and their partners sharing conferences over the numerous days of the event. Have you seen through the streams official or with the comments of your favorite content creators, you may have noticed how much there is to comment on. 6r5p6k

Here, we separate the best of E3 2021 – unfortunately, much of the magic of conferences, which include unexpected stage appearances and audience excitement, is lost with the online element, but there is still plenty of good stuff, from games and peripherals to movies and fun taped conferences. Grab your most comfortable gaming chair and let's go!

Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope 2m1k6u

Starting chronologically, the Ubisoft Forwards, a conference by the Canadian company of the same name, brought a lot involving previously announced games, bringing both extra cinematic trailers and unpublished gameplays. One of the few real novelties includes the sequel to the Crossovers most unexpectedly fun game: Mario + Rabbids.

The eccentricity of the announcement, however, was due to the leak of the game a few hours before the conference, so most viewers already knew what to expect. Faking surprise or not, however, there is no way not to be delighted with the comic trailers of the franchise, and wait for the news that seem to be included in the new episode, such as Rosalina Rabbid and the Sparks that give the game its name, which should arrive on next year.

Werewolves Within 2s5h34

And it's not just games that live a E3. An interesting novelty that Ubisoft brought to its conference was the announcement and trailer of its newest movie based on the world of video games: Werewolves Within, a 2016 game that is based on social play (also called Mafia, abroad, and Assassin, here in Brazil) where participants must try to find out who the werewolf is.

With the right choice to turn the story into a comedy, the trailer was fun enough to leave an expectation in the viewers. I, at least, can't wait to check out the story on the small screens. The film releases later this month.

Avatars: Frontiers of Pandora 572s5p

This time, we've inverted the source and destination media: we have a game based on a movie. The Director's 2009 Success James Cameron, which still earned the highest worldwide box office (without inflation correction, it is worth mentioning), won a very beautiful cinematic trailer and the promise of a game that will bring a completely original story in the world of Pandora.

With the visuals and the potential that exists to explore in the franchise's universe, we can't help but expect a great game - we can only try to calibrate expectations, since there is no more gameplay information from Avatars: Frontiers of Pandora or anything like that for now.

Return Digital Direct 28322h

The acid and irreverent humor of the digital return wins not only the sympathy of the public, but also its place on the podium of the best of the e3 2021
Devolver Digital's acid and irreverent humor earns not only the public's sympathy, but also its place on the podium of the best at E3 2021.

Let's change the scope a bit and talk about an entire conference this time. the developer Devolver Digital, who had already been making insane and very comical presentations in other instances of E3, brought this format back in the digital version.

In the midst of pre-recorded presentations that are super plastered and often monotonous – we even understand, after all, it is the first year that the event is constrained only to screens -, the Devolver conference was a wonderful refreshment with its irreverence and creativity. Not forgiving anyone, the Direct screwed up everything from game subscription services to NFTs, one of the hot topics of the year.

Of course, the developer announced and showcased several games as well, such as ShadowWarrior 3, The beauty Trek to Yomi e Phantom Abyss, but the highlight goes to the presentation as a whole, which will certainly populate our memory much more than the games themselves. Check the Return Digital Direct complete below:

One Game for everyone to master 4y323p

Microsoft's subscription service is one of the biggest highlights of the company's conference, and it certainly deserves to be on the best of e3 2021 list.
Microsoft's subscription service is one of the biggest highlights of the company's conference, and it certainly deserves to be on the list of the best at E3 2021.

Going to the second day of E3, it is impossible not to mention the conference that (almost) everyone considers to have been the best of the entire event: the Microsoft. The conference itself had many interesting games, between new appearances and additions to already known games, but the star of the day was the Game .

Microsoft's subscription service, which encomes both Xbox as much as PC, has been increasing in scope year after year, and this time the muscle flexing has been in the sheer amount of games included in the service since day 1 – or launch. Of the 30 games shown at the conference, 27 will be playable from the moment of launch.

The standard service costs R$29,99 per month (both the version for PC how much for Xbox), and the Ultimate version, R$44,99, which includes special discounts, even more games and a better multiplayer experience. Below, we will quickly go through the most interesting titles that will come to the subscription service (a “best of Game“, so to speak).

Starfield 4r266x

New RPG from Bethesda, who held a t conference with the Microsoft, its new owner, Starfield had its first cinematic trailer revealed. Although we don't have information beyond that and a comment from the company that the game will be a "skyrim in space“, the trailer promises. It remains to be seen if all this hyping it will be worth it – we don't even have a release date yet.

Back 4 Blood 2b2z4i

For those who were orphaned by the co-op zombie killing game franchise Left 4 Dead, the same developer of the classic comes with this new game, which starts from the same premise. Hopefully the additions to the gameplay and game dynamics make it even more fun than its spiritual predecessors – the trailer seems to show just that, but there's no way to know for sure without playing it. Back 4 Blood arrives in October this year.

The Outer Worlds 2 3bl

The acclaimed action RPG Obsidian won the hearts of many gamers, mainly by taking the gameplay of the creators of Fallout: New Vegas, and now more of that experience is out there. With little more than a cinematic announcement trailer, at least now we're prepared for an eventual gameplay showcase. No dates announced, there is time to calibrate the pacemaker.

Battlefield 2042 6d3e2h

Returning to the big announcements, we have the appearance of the first gameplay of the recently announced Battlefield 2042, the darling franchise of EA and DICE who took a time jump in this latest title, going from the Second World War to the future. With natural disasters, futuristic weapons and technology and the return of bots in order not to leave the match rooms empty, the gameplay of the next BF It's quite interesting – and more down-to-earth than you'd think for a game set two decades later. The new game should arrive in October – unfortunately not for the Game .

Halo Infinite c4w6k

The most beloved franchise Microsoft and Xbox arrived with everything in its gameplay trailer, bringing amazing things like a hook move followed by the theft of a ship and, mainly, more beautiful graphics - since the last time the game appeared, the unpolished look of certain elements displeased fans a lot, even generating memes throughout the gamer community.

Highlights for the next game in the franchise Halo stay with the game's story, which comes with some mysteries to uncover, and the beautiful armor customization shown in the trailer. Halo Infinite should launch around Christmas this year, and also arrives at Game soon on its release.

Control Turtle Beach Recon 2x481z

Among the ads in E3 2021, peripherals also have their turn – and especially those that are not the official console manufacturers, as they are free to customize their functions at will. This is precisely one of the greatest features of the Turtle Beach Recon, control of the homonymous company, which previously focused on Headsets.

With remappable buttons, advanced aiming functions and sound on the controller - you can tweak the mix by connecting your headset him - the controller has everything an avid Xbox owner could want. The design, by the way, was specifically thought for the new Xbox Series X | S, so we can already see the new generation coming to alternative peripherals as well.

Hooked on a feeling – Guardians of the Galaxy 4k3k5d

A Square Enix also had a good conference – in the eyes of fans of its games, mainly – and has been giving a lot of prominence to its western subsidiary, Eidos Montreal, by dedicating a lot of time to the game Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. Drinking heavily from the source of the eponymous movie franchise, the game comes with an endless repertoire of jokes, a decision mechanic that influences not only the story but also the team's relationship and a third-person combat that allows, in the skin of the protagonist Peter Quill (or starlord), give orders to teammates.

The game promises - after all, if it weren't for the case, it wouldn't be on this list of best ads in the world. E3 2021 – and should arrive in October.

Strangers of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin 5h873

The fans of final Fantasy were already eagerly waiting for more information about the prequel to the franchise, and the Square did not disappoint: not only did a gameplay trailer for Final Fantasy Origin, as well as the announcement of a demo version becoming available shortly after the conference.

With many people already playing and giving their for a future game release, there's a lot of potential - and time to polish the combat, character models, and everything else that could make it into a great game. The story, which as we said before, takes place before the story of the main franchise, still has a lot to work on, but it already proves to be genuinely thought-provoking. The game should be out next year.

Metroid dread 682t6a

This Tuesday, June 15th, Nintendo made its Nintendo Direct and managed to thrill its fans with success – and with a game that had already been cited for more than fifteen years. Originally planned for the Nintendo DS, Metroid dread it was canceled at the time, in 2005, due to technical limitations, but it returns triumphant in 2021, with classic 2D platform gameplay.

If there's one thing nostalgic that's good to see back in this rough year, it's a 2D Metroid. New gameplay features include interesting gameplay mechanics. Stealth, and we can't wait to get our hands on the next adventure of Samus. The game is expected to launch in October this year.

Breath of the Wild 2: The Mission 6ff3n

The sequence of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, interestingly, was already on our list of best of E3 of 2019! At the time, the game received a cinematic story trailer that has already left fans of the franchise on the edge of their seats, but this time, the game's gameplay was what showed up.

With new movement mechanics such as the ability to Link to delve into the wall's recesses in a liquid form, the game promises a lot - but, as the joke in the title references, there's no specific subtitle for the sequel, which so far is just called the Breath of the Wild 2. The launch forecast of the new adventure in hyrule it's for next year.
