On the image:
- Elder Scrolls Legends (It's the girl from the concept art trailer. It's a Hearthstone competitor if you haven't been following along on that one.)
- Fallout 4 DLC
- The Elder Scrolls Online
- Dishonored 2
- Doom

Smart bets are on Wolfenstein for an additional reveal.

ZeniMax's other studios are working on """Prey 2""" (as a System Shock 2 spiritual successor), The Evil Within 2 (seemingly with multiplayer this go around?), and maybe Battlecry (a 6v6 f2p action game, it's unclear if this is alive or dead), so they're possible, but it's not as clear if they're ready.

I wouldn't expect anything but Fallout 4 DLC and/or Fallout Shelter updates from Bethesda Game Studios themselves.

There's always the possibility of a surprise digital and/or mobile reveal, though I'm guessing this year's "PLAY IT NOW!!!" game is Elder Scrolls Legends.

Last year's line-up was as follows:
- Lengthy video about how #based ZeniMax is
- Doom (lengthy demos)
- ESO DLC
- Elder Scrolls Legends
- Dishonored 2 CG Trailer
- Fallout Shelter
- Fallout 4 (lengthy demos)

Bethesda Goes Bigger for E3 2016 Showcase

Clear your calendar and cancel your appointments. On the Sunday night before E3 2016, Bethesda will once again be taking the stage for another blowout BE3 Showcase.

On June 12, Bethesda will shine the spotlight on its upcoming lineup of games. But this is no ordinary Showcase. Along with new gameplay and electrifying updates, we’ve evolved BE3, adding a whole new part to the event: BE3 Plus. Immediately after the Showcase ends, attendees will enjoy a special Bethesda E3 experience, complete with game demos, hosted interviews and a variety of food and drinks. And, for those in attendance, we’ve even got a top-secret band taking the stage at 9pm PDT. You won’t want to miss their performance!

Like last year’s inaugural BE3 Showcase, this year’s event isn’t just for media and industry insiders. After all, we’re not just celebrating our games, but also you – our fans. At BE3 2015 we had over a thousand fans in the audience, and this year we plan to have at least as many in attendance! If you’re local, or can arrange your own travel to Los Angeles (and are 17 years of age or older), you can register here through Sunday, May 1, for a chance to join us: https://be3showcase.bethsoft.com

If you can’t make it in person, we’ll be streaming the entire shindig, with the pre-show starting at 6:15 PDT, the Showcase beginning promptly at 7pm PDT, and BE3 Plus kicking off at 8pm PDT. Be sure to keep watching after the Showcase ends, because we’ll have even more inside scoops on our lineup of games straight from the developers, along with a peek at the BE3 Plus festivities.

Any chance we'll get a re-revealed Prey 2? From the Kotaku documents, it indicated a 2016-2017 release, and E3 would be a good place to show it off.

 

[El_Chino]

Maybe Evil Within 2 as well?

 

[ashecitism]

It's truly over for BattleCry, if it misses this show, right?

 

[DoctorFling]

If Wolfenstein is a 2017 release like that voice actress said it should be there.

 

[Nirolak]

It's certainly possible, but I kind of think they'd want to focus on Dishonored 2 first.

I could easily be wrong.

If Battlecry went back in development, it would probably be there.

Tango is hiring a ton of people, but I'm also not convinced they're ready to show their game yet.

 

[SunBroDave]

Are they STILL talking about ESO?

 

[bjork]

"And Xbox One owners can play Skyrim on backwards compatibility right after this event ends, thank you good night"

 

[Jacob4815]

Evil Within 2 please!!

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

Really hoping they have MachineGaames working on another Wolfenstein.

 

[Nirolak]

Are they STILL talking about ESO?

It gets quarterly DLC expansion packs, so yes.

 

[Rymuth]

New Order/Old Blood were nothing short of amazing...so if we get a sequel, that'll make my day.

 

[sora87]

I just wanna see the next elder scrolls game. Fuck fallout 4 & fuck ESO.
Wolfenstein should be cool though.

 

[Brokun]

Wait, what is Elder Scrolls Legends? I missed the memo.

 

[JehutyRunner]

"And Xbox One owners can play Skyrim on backwards compatibility right after this event ends, thank you good night"

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if you get a remaster, never mind BC considering Todd Howard's remarks last year of them porting over Skyrim to Xbox One before development proper on Fallout 4 started.

Wait, what is Elder Scrolls Legends? I missed the memo.

A Hearthstone-like card game set in The Elder Scrolls universe for mobile and PC.

 

[Nirolak]

I added some more notes to the OP to help set expectations of what will be there.

 

[PFD]

New Order/Old Blood were nothing short of amazing...so if we get a sequel, that'll make my day.

Never played Old Blood, but I loved The New Order.
I'd be interested in a new entry in the series.

 

[ashecitism]

Wait, what is Elder Scrolls Legends? I missed the memo.

Card game.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Its a hour long show right?

I doubt they will have anything more than Dishonored 2, Fallout and Doom DLC and mods on consoles, ESO, some new mobile stuff and Wolfenstein full review. Maybe a Tango teaser

Last year was as follows:
- Lengthy video about how #based ZeniMax is
- Doom (lengthy demos)
- ESO DLC
- Elder Scrolls Legends
- Dishonored 2 CG Trailer
- Fallout Shelter
- Fallout 4 (lengthy demos)

 

[dancrane212]

Think they keep the Prey 2 name? Jason Schreier posted a couple months that Arkane Austin was trying to get the System Shock license - wonder if they're looking to change brands for the game at this point.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Last year was as follows:
- Doom (lengthy demos)
- ESO DLC
- Elder Scrolls Legends
- Dishonored 2 CG Trailer
- Fallout Shelter
- Fallout 4 (lengthy demos)

there was also the Battlecry segment, but no one cared lol

So based on that I think this is a safe bet

-Dishonored 2 (lenghty demo)
-ESO DLC and maybe Skyrim Remaster
-ES Legends ''play it now'' thing
--Mobile talk
-Fallout 4 and DOOM DLC and mods
-Wolfenstein (lenghty demo)
-Maybe a teaser for Prey 2 or Tango's new game

 

[Rap2thaMoon]

I think that another studio is making System Shock 3, not connected with Bethesda.

 

[John Kowalski]

CCG, F2P, MMO, all they're missing is a moba now.

 

[ashecitism]

Unless I missed that, what he posted was Arkane making Prey 2 as a System Shock spiritual successor, not that they want the license. System Shock 3 will be made by OtherSide. Night Dive own the right to SS now.

 

[Gator86]

All in for Dishonored 2, Prey 2, and Evil Within 2. EW was mediocre, but could be fucking amazing if they actually address the flaws from the 1st without losing the good parts. Hope the leaks start flowing soon.

 

[Militaratus]

If they show off Prey 2, and still kept the bounty-hunter gameplay while still set in an futuristic alien metropolis, I'll be SO happy.

 

[dancrane212]

I think that another studio is making System Shock 3, not connected with Bethesda.

They are (Otherside), but in the announcement of System Shock 3 Jason posted the following...

That sucks for Arkane Austin. I heard they were trying to get the System Shock license.

Unless I missed that, what he posted was Arkane making Prey 2 as a System Shock spiritual successor, not that they want the license. System Shock 3 will be made by OtherSide. Night Dive own the right to SS now.

Same as above.

 

[ashecitism]

Ah, I see. Thanks.

 

[Vire]

Isn't this a little early to start hyping E3?

It's like the grocery stores selling Christmas decorations at Halloween.

Chill bruh.

 

[Aters]

CCG, F2P, MMO, all they're missing is a moba now.

You mean BattleCry?

 

[Compsiox]

CCG, F2P, MMO, all they're missing is a moba now.

Dishonored/Wolfenstein crossover Moba

 

[Compsiox]

You mean BattleCry?

Woow. They really did hit everything. Maybe it's an experiment to see what experiences they should focus on.

 

[Messofanego]

I'd rather Machinegames announce nothing. Don't want to burn them out as a studio just making yearly releases. I get the slight cliffhanger with TNO's ending but I believe they should get enough time to get creative juices flowing rather than get an iterative sequel that doesn't change much.

I want a Dishonored 2 walkthrough with StealthGamerBR on the helm

 

[-MD-]

Hoping The Evil Within 2 gets announced this year.

 

[Brian_FETO]

There's no way Wolfenstein gets a demo, it'll get a teaser video that sets up the world and how they plan to continue the story . Game gets mid-2017 release. Evil Within 2 teaser, October 2017.

There's the possibility they hold off on Evil Within 2 until next year to do another Fallout situation but it's also a much less anticipated title (if they do another conference next year)

Dishonored 2 will get a demo

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

Not expecting anything huge really. Last year was fantastic with how they presented it and of course Fallout 4 but no way are we already getting a announcement of a new Elder Scrolls or anything. I'd love it though, but nah.

 

[SmoothOperator]

Nobody cares : we want the new The Elder Scrolls.

 

[kinaesthete]

Anything to substantiate Tango working on Evil Within 2? I assume whatever they've been working on will be at this but haven't seen anything suggesting or confirming that it's TEW2.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Really hoping they have MachineGaames working on another Wolfenstein.

Ditto. I can't help but assume if they do a new Wolfenstein that MachineGames will be on it since they've done such outstanding work. I'd love to see them take care of other id properties. I would've really loved to have seen how DOOM would've been handled by them.

 

[John Kowalski]

You mean BattleCry?

Isn't that a TF2 alike?

 

[Lucreto]

There is nothing from Bethesda I am interested in this year. If they release a Skyrim Remaster I will be happy and tide me over until Elder Scrolls VI.

 

[Stumpokapow]

"be3 plus" is ubisoft tier english as a second language marketing nonsense

 

[Nirolak]

Anything to substantiate Tango working on Evil Within 2? I assume whatever they've been working on will be at this but haven't seen anything suggesting or confirming that it's TEW2.

Primarily Bethesda's corporate history.

 

[ashecitism]

Isn't that a TF2 alike?

From what we saw, yes.

 

[Bolivar687]

Nobody cares : we want the new The Elder Scrolls.

WHY ELSE WOULD THEY BE HOLDING A PRESS CONFERENCE AGAIN THIS YEAR!?!?

HYPE!!!

 

[yamo]

CCG, F2P, MMO, all they're missing is a moba now.

This should be the equivalent to Roshan if they make a moba.

Spoiler

YEAH

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Only interested in Evil Within sequel.

 

[Red Hood]

Only interested in Dishonored 2, don't let me down Beth

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

WHY ELSE WOULD THEY BE HOLDING A PRESS CONFERENCE AGAIN THIS YEAR!?!?

HYPE!!!

That does make sense, because last year Fallout 4 was the one and only reason for the existence of the show. But on the other hand, already a TES announcement when Fallout 4 hasn't even been out for a full year yet? Kinda doubt it.

But it would be sweet though.
