The Last of Us Part 2<\/h2>\n<p>The follow up to Naughty Dog\u2019s impressive post-apocalyptic outing will be back, but we don\u2019t know when. The sequel got an 11-minute showcase in a temporary cinema to show off its impressive chops. The demo included a cutscene filled with teenage hormones and some fiercely brutal gameplay action. We\u2019ve been told that the screenshots came from a PS4 Pro, but it seems strange that Sony isn\u2019t shouting from the rooftops about how good the game looks on their current top of the line console. This could well end up being a launch title for the PS5.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"848\" height=\"477\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/btmN-bWwv0A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-starred-link\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-starred-link__img\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/Bethesda-E3-1024x576.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-title\">\r\n        <p class=\"sc-card-starred-link__title\">Bethesda\u2019s biggest announcements from E3<\/p>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__button\" href=\"bethesda-e3-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\">Check 'em out now<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__link\" href=\"bethesda-e3-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h2>2. Halo Infinite<\/h2>\n<p>The Halo Infinite showcase that Microsoft used to kick-start its expo that this year\u2019s E3 was more of a technology demonstration than a trailer for a particular game. In an accompanying blog post, entitled \u201cOur Journey Begins,\u201d 343 Industries makes it quite clear that the 6<sup>th<\/sup> Halo game chronicling Master Chief\u2019s adventures is still only in early production. Furthermore, the new tech 343 is showcasing with the trailer is the new Slipspace Engine. The Slipspace Engine is allowing 343 to show a huge step up on anything the Halo series has offered before so there is a good chance that it could be a much more powerful Xbox that is running when Master Chief finally pulls his helmet on again.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"848\" height=\"477\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fzwddyOeiXo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>3. Death Stranding<\/h2>\n<p>Death Stranding, from Kojima Productions, is one of those games that keeps showing us more as teaser after teaser comes out, but always offers more questions than it does answers.

This has led a lot of fans speculating about whether Death Stranding will end up being a launch title for the PS5. We wouldn\u2019t be surprised as it looks very very good indeed.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, if you can figure out what the hell is going on it all of the Death Stranding teasers, we&#8217;d love to hear your take.

We know that the main protagonist will be V, players will be able to completely customize V to their own tastes, and that the game will be a First Person RPG.

Elder Scrolls VI<\/h2>\n<p>This one is a given, but we\u2019re excited about it here so we\u2019re adding it anyway. In essence, Bethesda simply announced that they were making a game that they were definitely going to make anyway and added nothing more. The teaser <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/bethesda-e3-2018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gave away next to nothing<\/a> and will have fanboys combing over it for years until we get another morsel of information about the latest game in one of the best RPG franchises ever. What Bethesda did say, however, is that they\u2019ll be launching a brand new franchise, Starfield, before they bring us Elder Scrolls VI. The teaser for Starfield had even less to offer than the Elder Scrolls teaser though so we probably won\u2019t be seeing that for a\u00a0while either.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"848\" height=\"477\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OkFdqqyI8y4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this year\u2019s E3 bingo I went against all of my best instincts and filled in one of my squares with a PS5 teaser.
