Take a look through all the new announcements and trailers below:
Quake Champions
It’s been a long time since we’ve received a brand new Quake game, with the last entry in the mainline series – Quake 4 – releasing all the way back in 2005. Now id Software and Saber Interactive have teamed up to bring the franchise into the modern era, showing off a reveal trailer for the game during the Bethesda E3 2016 press conference.
Prey
Prey has been completely revamped for its sequel, with it even foregoing the use of a number two in its title in order to completely reboot the series, before it had even had a chance to actually become a series. Developed by Arkane Studios, the game will be a “reimagining of the IP” according to Bethesda. It’ll arrive in 2017, and it looks very scary indeed.
The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Special Edition, Fallout 4 and Fallout Shelter

They also revealed new DLC for Fallout 4, including an interesting new feature that will allow players to develop their own Vaults and experiment on their dwellers, while an update to the popular mobile game Fallout Shelter was also announced. It was also revealed that Fallout 4 will be making its way to VR.

The Elder Scrolls: Legends
Bethesda also revealed the trailer for the upcoming The Elder Scrolls: Legends, a collectible card game based upon the Elder Scrolls series’ lore. Though the game’s announcement initially received a negative reception, for those interested in learning more of the fantasy franchise’s story it might be an interesting deviation from its typical RPG gameplay.
DOOM
DOOM has been one of 2016’s biggest surprise hits, and Bethesda is going to continue supporting the game into the future. Announcing brand new Unto The Evil DLC, the publisher is also set to release brand new free multiplayer modes in the coming months, too.
