Yesterday, Bethesda delivered a bit of a surprise by officially announcing Rage 2. It's been a long time since we last heard from the Rage series, but unfortunately, we didn't get to see any actual gameplay in yesterday's announcement trailer. As promised, that all changes today, with Bethesda delivering Rage 2's first gameplay trailer just a few minutes ago.
Thanks to leaks that surfaced last week, we had a feeling that Rage 2 might be in development, and today Bethesda confirmed it. Rage 2 was announced today with a one-minute long teaser trailer that's very loud and in-your-face, so prepare your senses. Unfortunately, it doesn't show off any in-game footage, so you might want to temper your expectations going in.
It's been quite a few months since we first discovered that Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus will make the jump to the Nintendo Switch, and today, Bethesda finally revealed when it will release. We're also getting our first look at how the Switch version of Wolfenstein II performs, so if you've been waiting for this port, you'll definitely want to have a look at that.
While most Elder Scrolls fans are probably wondering when Bethesda will finally reveal The Elder Scrolls VI, it turns out the company isn't quite finished with its long line of Skyrim ports. This new port, however, is worth getting excited about, as Bethesda has revealed that it's bringing Skyrim VR to Steam. The launch happens next month, too, so the Steam version of Skyrim VR is just a couple short weeks away.
For the past few years, Bethesda has joined the likes of Microsoft, Sony, and Activision in hosting an E3 showcase to reveal what it has coming up in the year ahead. Bethesda confirmed today that it will be holding a showcase again during E3 2018, which will be its fourth event of this kind. Now that we know Bethesda will be back with another showcase this year, it's time to begin wondering just what it's going to reveal.
Even though most people have probably moved on from last year's The Evil Within 2 by now, today Bethesda is giving you a new reason to dive back in for a second playthrough. Bethesda and developer Tango Gameworks today announced a new first-person mode for The Evil Within 2, giving you an entirely new way to play through the survival horror title.
One of the biggest Nintendo Switch surprises came in the form of a game that most people will be familiar with: Skyrim. From the very start, Nintendo has been advertising Skyrim on the Switch, and for good reason, as this is the first time we’ve seen Bethesda’s epic open-world Elder Scrolls series come to Nintendo consoles. As exciting as it may be, Skyrim has been available on various platforms for six years now, and many gamers have already seen what its frozen landscape has to offer. With that in mind, is Skyrim worth purchasing again just because it’s now available on the Switch?
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus has certainly been well-received by the gaming community, but since it isn't even a month old yet, there are probably quite a few of you who haven't taken it for a spin. Bethesda is looking to get you hold outs hooked on the game by launching a free trial for it. This free trial is available from today, just in time for the long holiday weekend.
As a console/handheld hybrid, the Nintendo Switch is definitely lacking in terms of hardware power when compared to the PS4 and Xbox One. However, that didn't stop Nintendo from giving the system the ability to record gameplay footage with a software update that was released last month. Unfortunately it seems support for the feature is on a game-by-game basis, as only Nintendo's first-party titles have taken advantage of it.
It feels weird that we'd still be talking about Skyrim here in 2017, but believe it or not, the game is heading to two new platforms today. One of those is the Nintendo Switch, and this launch is something we've known about since the Switch was first revealed more than a year ago. If you've always wanted to have a way to play Skyrim on the go, Bethesda and Nintendo have addressed your desires with this new release.
It's an exciting day for Nintendo Switch owners. After gamers spent months vocally wondering where video streaming apps were, Nintendo finally announced today that Hulu is launching on the Switch. Hulu is live on the Switch eShop now, but that's merely the tip of the iceberg when we look at the week ahead for the platform.
Bethesda's eagerness to port Skyrim to any and every platform has become something of a running joke among gamers, but one port many are actually excited for is Skyrim VR. More of a re-imagining than just a simple port, Skyrim VR takes the complete Skyrim experience and - what else? - brings it into the realm of virtual reality. Sony revealed today that Skyrim VR will serve as the pack-in game for a new PSVR bundle.
