Uh oh
Hmmm, is that trouble we can smell brewing? During Bethesda's E3 2018 press conference, we got a bit of an information blowout on Fallout 76 -- the always online, multiplayer Fallout title that launches in November of this year.

Release date, setting, and platform
Bethesda officially announced The Elder Scrolls VI during its E3 2018 press conference with a very brief trailer. Studio boss Todd Howard talked about it for a short time, and suggested that it will be a next-gen title. That means it's almost certainly a PS5 game, rather than a PS4 title. In this guide,...

Bethesda gets the big one
Every year, one of E3's biggest games gets pasted across the towers of The Hotel Figueroa in Los Angeles.

More at E3
