Xbox & Bethesda at E3 2021: What to expect
The official save the date imagery for the event (above) nods to both Halo infinite and Starfield – so that’s two games guaranteed to appear.
Halo Infinite was meant to be released at the end of last year, as one of the launch games for Xbox Series X/S. However, it was put back to “Fall 2021”.
There will undoubtedly be a major gameplay segment of the showcase, showing what 343 Industries has been working on.
Starfield is thought to be an open world sci-fi RPG, but that is just speculation at this stage. It was announced by Bethesda during its E3 2018 press conference, with a teaser trailer – but that was also fairly vague.
We will hopefully find out exactly what type of game it is during the event. All we’re sure of right now is that it’ll be an Xbox exclusive (Xbox and Windows, therefore).
We’ll update as and when we hear more.
