At Bethesda's E3 press conference, the company revealed a slew of new games that it had kept relatively well hidden until now. First up (and you'll forgive me for the not so random order of coverage for these), there's the upcoming Dishonored stand-alone expansion (it's been a while since we've seen one of those, uh?). Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, whose title should send your mind reeling if you know something about Dishonored lore, will follow Billie Lurk (which you might recognize from Dishonored 2) as she attempts to bring death to the Outsider on Daud's behest. She now has what seems like bionic implements in the shape of an arm and an eye, and interestingly, what would be the Outsiders' powers seem to have been substituted by a tech-based approach. Dishonored: Death of the Outsider drops on September 15th this year.

Another game showcased by the company is Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, which once again follows B.J. Blazkowicz; this time, after the events in Wolfenstein: The New Order. Take the fight back to the Nazi regime once again, with Wolfenstein's signature graphics language and gameplay. The games' graphics have been (naturally) upgraded, and in particular the particle effects seem to have been pumped up significantly. The game drops on October 27th this year. You might even encounter another grammar Nazi in the game. Who knows...





Coming in a little early, on October 13th, is The Evil Within 2. Even though The Evil Within wasn't the kind of success Bethesda was hoping for, it still was enough of a commercial success for the company to sign on on a sequel, which should build on the first games' systems even more. Jump-scares, and horror atmosphere abound here, and at least the original's cult following should be satisfied with this one being incoming. Granted the video is essentially cinematic and unrepresentative of gameplay, but this trailer was one of the most interesting in purely visual and symbolic references. I also immensely dig the Duran Duran cover. It perfectly adapts to the perceived (and expected) story.



Finally, we have VR adaptations of some of Bethesda's most recognized games: Fallout 4 and DOOM. These games were re-engineered to be compatible with the HTC Vive, which we're hoping aids in immersion. Bethesda has to know that a buggy, sub-standard implementation of VR in these high-profile games could poison the medium in gaming for a long time, so here's hoping they deliver the goods.

That Evil Within 2 trailer is a work of art! I agree with you @Raevenlord, perfect song choice, especially the different ways it was played.

Another game based on conquest of USA, like HomeFront2, FarCry 5 and what not. Great if you live there. I am not asking for my country to be included, but...
Wolfenstein could try someday the Egyptian scenario, deserts, tank battles, all those nazi mummies and deities, plus add some paleo-Hezbolá and early Zionist and you got somethign explosive! It is there waiting for us... And with todays grafix power, drawing the full pyramids is easy... You know it is possible Betty .....

And the two VR titles are probably gonna require 1180Ti or Titan Volta to run.

People always forget VR requires more GPU power than traditional gaming. The need to push two high resolution OLED screen over a constant 90FPS is hard. This is just for current gen HMD. Next gen HMD with 4K 144FPS requirement will make many GPUs scream.

2 Sequels and an expansion (dishonored 2)?
I could care less about the VR stuff.
Do you expect a completely new game every year?
What is this, Call of Duty? lmao

As long as Wolfenstein and The Evil Within 2 uses the NEW IDtech 6 that Doom uses and they finally make the VOID engine worth a damn for Dishonored, this should be amazing.

The new Wolfenstein looks great, loved The New Order and The Old Blood so this has already jumped to the top of my Steam wishlist.
