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.
The Nintendo Switch has a big fall season ahead of it, and that all kicks off later this week with the release of Fire Emblem Warriors. Among the list of games releasing before the year is out are Super Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, but today we can also Doom to that list. Bethesda revealed when Doom will release earlier today, and in a happy turn of events, it'll be here in just a few weeks.
Just a quick heads up for those of you who own a copy of Skyrim Special Edition: the hardcore Survival Mode Bethesda has crafted as an exclusive offering for its new Creation Club service will no longer be free after today. Once the sun sets on October 10, the module will cost 500 credits, which translates to about five American dollars.
Virtual reality has always been associated with gaming more than anything else and yet, truth be told, most of the games available on any of the existing VR platforms could, perhaps, be described as the casual kind. That, however, could change in two months and gamers from both PC and VR worlds might find it harder to take off their headsets. That's when Fallout 4 VR will land, but you can already "pre-order" it now when you buy a new HTC VIVE with this HTC VIVE Fallout 4 VR bundle.
