Bethesda made big announcements about Fallout 76 at the E3 2019 . New features are coming that players have long awaited and criticized for being missing. This includes a brand new mode and even a free trial.
What was announced? In the Bethesda press conference in the early morning of June 10, new content for Fallout 76 was announced. It particularly focused on the Wastelanders update, which is set to be released in fall 2019.
One of the biggest and most important announcements is the introduction of human NPCs and proper dialogues. The absence of NPCs has been heavily criticized for a long time. Additionally, with Nuclear Winter, the Battle Royale mode “Nuclear Winner” will be introduced.
As a small incentive, Fallout 76 will be free to play from June 10 to June 17. During this event, the Battle Royale mode is also expected to be active.
We have embedded the trailer for Wastelanders here for you:

Fallout 76: What’s coming with Wastelanders and Nuclear Winter
What’s coming with Wastelanders? One of the key announcements is the appearance of human NPCs. In the short trailer for Wastelanders, NPCs were shown who have heard that there is hope in Appalachia.
As players, you will now apparently have the opportunity to ally with these NPCs in groups, which could also lead to conflicts. Every decision is said to have consequences.
One of the newly populated areas will likely be the crashed space station in the north of Appalachia.
What is the new mode? In the also announced “Nuclear Winter” update, which is set to start this summer, there will be a new mode called “Nuclear Winner”. This evidently relates to the recently discovered Vault 51.
The Vault currently has no overseer. This task will fall to you. However, to become overseer, you will be thrown into a battle royale with 52 players and must survive.

When will the new content arrive? The new “Nuclear Winter” update, including the new mode, can already be tested during the free week.
Wastelanders is expected to be released in fall 2019. A specific date has not yet been announced.
Bethesda head Todd Howard admitted at the start of the conference that Fallout 76 had major difficulties and received justified criticism. This seems to have been heard:
At the E3 2019 , a new DLC for Borderlands 2 titled “Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary” was announced and released. We will tell you how to download and start playing immediately on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
For fans of the Borderlands series, there was a special highlight at Microsoft’s press conference. In addition to a brand new trailer for Borderlands 3, a new content for Borderlands 2 was announced. “Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary” is a completely new DLC for Borderlands 2 that has been released immediately.
What are the requirements? To download and play the DLC for Borderlands 2, you must own at least the base game Borderlands 2 on PC or the “Handsome Collection” on PS4 and Xbox One.
How can you download the DLC? It works very simply via Steam (PC). Just select Borderlands 2 from the menu and check the downloadable content. The new DLC should be listed there for you to install – if it hasn’t been installed automatically already.
On PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, you just need to open the respective store and search for the DLC. Since it is free, you don’t have to pay anything for it.
How do you start the DLC? To begin the adventure “Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary”, you simply need to visit a fast travel station in the game and can directly enter the new DLC area.
However, you should ensure that your character has reached at least level 30, otherwise the enemies are likely too strong. Alternatively, you can also create a new character directly at level 30 in the main menu, which will start in the DLC area directly.
What is the DLC about? In the DLC, you accompany the Siren Lilith and experience, as the name suggests, the battle for the capital Sanctuary. The DLC serves as a “bridge” between Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3, which will be released later this year. The DLC is meant to tease fans for the upcoming sequel.
It is also recommended to have completed the main story of Borderlands 2, as there could otherwise be massive story spoilers.

A surprise at the Bethesda press conference at E3 2019 was the new game from Tango Gameworks. When Shinji Mikami, the creator of the well-known horror series The Evil Within, took the stage, many expected a third part of the horror game.

What is Ghostwire Tokyo? According to the presentation at E3 2019, Ghostwire Tokyo will not be a survival horror like Evil Within. However, horror remains because suddenly a large part of Tokyo’s population disappears. Only their clothes are left behind.
Now, eerie figures from Japanese mythology roam the streets. Your job as a masked archer is to get to the bottom of the mystery and find out what is behind the creepy occurrences.
However, we do not know what the gameplay looks like. Only the impressive trailer was shown.
When and for which platforms does Ghostwire release? Unfortunately, nothing was said about that at the press conference.
ZeniMax, the creators of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, recently sought new developers for another project. We learned more about it at the E3 2019.

They were recently looking for a number of developers and many players wondered if it would be a new MMO.
This is definitely not the case. At least not for the current announcement at E3 2019 from ZeniMax.

Colorful Cartoon Mobile Game instead of MMORPG
What kind of game is ZeniMax developing? Anyone expecting a new ESO will initially rub their eyes in disbelief. The new ZeniMax game is a mobile game called Commander Keen. This IP comes from id Software from the 90s.
The game is now back as a cute, colorful jump-n-run game where you embody the twins Billy and Billie and experience intergalactic adventures.

This is how Microsoft teased the Xbox: Even before the start of E3 2019, hype around the new Xbox consoles spread. Fans extracted codes from several tweets. These were hidden next to the focus points of the images. Deciphered, they ultimately formed the word Scarlett.
What rumors were there beforehand about the new Xbox family?
Rumors about the Scarlett family of Xbox surfaced shortly after E3 2018. It was said that Microsoft plans to present several new consoles and then release the new Xbox as a finale in 2020.
Already at the end of 2018, the names Lockhart and Anaconda became known through rumors, which hinted at “the two new Xbox consoles” at that time.
It was speculated that these two models would differ like the Xbox One S and the Xbox One X. The Lockhart was said to be the cheaper base model and a bit stronger than the Xbox One X.
Further, it was stated in a December leak that the Anaconda would be the more expensive version with much more power.

What is Elden Ring about? This is not yet known. The trailer only shows some dark scenes that at least suggest the direction it is heading. It seems it will have a rather dark fantasy setting.
The previous leaks have mentioned a large open world. Danger lurks around every corner, against which players must defend themselves.
It is likely that Elden Ring will follow a similar path as Dark Souls and Bloodborne. These are known for their challenging difficulty.

What is Phantasy Star Online 2? The successor to the first Phantasy Star Online MMORPG was released in July 2012 in Japan. Here is an overview of the key information about PSO2:
Payment model: The game is free-to-play but has a premium service.
Combat system: Action
Platforms: Xbox One and PC
Crossplay between platforms will be possible
The story and content updates in Phantasy Star Online 2 come in episodes. Currently, there are a total of 5 episodes, and all of them will be playable here.
This is how the gameplay of Phantasy Star Online 2 works: The gameplay is based on quests and is designed for groups of up to four players. The quests are played in instances, which sometimes contain random elements to keep the gameplay exciting.
For example, it may happen that so-called “Emergency Codes” occur in the quests. They provide players with additional rewards when they fulfill certain tasks or conditions.
Phantasy Star Online 2 has a large English fan community that has already released patches in English and continues to bring new updates whenever PSO2 receives new content.
Originally, it was intended that SEGA would bring the game to the West in 2012, but then there was a long silence, and now it has led to the surprising announcement at E3 2019.
Update 10.6. 1:07 AM: As SEGA announced via Twitter, the release is only intended for North America. They have not yet found a solution for the EMEA region (Europe, Africa, Middle East). They understand that this is frustrating and will provide more news as soon as they have it.

Escape brings coop for 3 players
This is the Escape mode: In Escape, you fight together in coop against monsters. Unlike the Horde mode, players do not need to survive, but rather escape.
Up to three players fight side by side against nasty creatures
As a trio, you must fight your way outside (online or locally)
You can explore the map and unlock new areas where you find weapons and modifications
There are 3 class-based characters with active and passive abilities
Each class has its own skill cards and collects its own experience points.
According to IGN.com, who were able to preview the mode, Escape can be very challenging. Teamwork is said to be crucial for survival.

Other games were also showcased at E3. Here you can find the new trailer for Cyberpunk 2077:
The actor Keanu Reeves will play a special role in the sci-fi RPG Cyberpunk 2077. Many details were revealed at the E3 2019.
The E3 2019 is in full swing and numerous pieces of information about Cyberpunk 2077 have been published. Besides a lot of information about the game, there was also the appearance of a special person. The actor Keanu Reeves came on stage and explained that he will be a part of Cyberpunk 2077.
Who is Keanu Reeves? Keanu Reeves is considered by many to be an icon in the sci-fi genre, as he has starred in many major films. Especially as Neo in the “Matrix” series, he was popular, but in more recent times, he has also thrilled audiences as John Wick.
What kind of role does Reeves play in Cyberpunk 2077? Which role exactly Keanu Reeves will play in Cyberpunk 2077 is still not clearly defined. However, he can be seen at the end of the latest trailer. There he informs the player that they “have to burn down a city.” It is therefore possible that his character takes on some sort of mentor role in Cyberpunk for the player – but this is still speculation.
Update June 10: We now know that Keanu Reeves plays the role of “Johnny Silverhand.” In character creation, players can choose him as a childhood hero for their own character V.
Why is Keanu Reeves involved? Keanu Reeves stated that the developers had approached him some time ago and asked if he wanted to be a part of Cyberpunk 2077. As a big sci-fi fan, he could not refuse. He will lend his voice (and appearance) to at least one character in Cyberpunk 2077.
In the end, he even received a special honor. Keanu Reeves was able to reveal the release date of Cyberpunk 2077 and get the cheering crowd at the E3 even more fired up.
Do you think it’s cool that Keanu Reeves is part of Cyberpunk 2077? Or do you find it disturbing when people from the real world appear in futuristic games?
