Bethesda once again returns to E3 2018 with its own special “E3 Showcase,” where the company will show off the previously announced titles it has in development, as well as a few surprises to get fans cheering from their seats. If you can’t attend the event, you will still be able to experience the show with your pals at Digital Trends.

The Bethesda E3 Showcase will begin on Sunday, June 10 at 9:30 p.m. ET, and we’ll be livestreaming the event on this page. Alongside the announcements, you’ll get live reactions from senior editor Matt Smith and staff writers Will Fulton and Brendan Hesse.

The event itself will be hosted by Pete Hines, the senior VP of marketing and communications at Bethesda. The company’s press conferences often see developers get onstage to talk about their games, as well, so expect Fallout and Elder Scrolls mastermind Todd Howard to make an appearance at some point.

Bethesda’s shows typically give us long looks at gameplay for its upcoming titles, sometimes even from games that hadn’t previously been announced. We know that Rage 2 will be making an appearance at the show, and we can’t wait to see what Id Software and Avalanche Studios have done to inject new life into the series. Fallout 76 will also be shown for the first time, and we know absolutely nothing about it — rumors suggest it could be an online survival game rather than a traditional single-player role-playing game, and it seems unlikely that a full-fledged Fallout sequel would be very far along in development.

As far as what else Bethesda will show during the event, the possibilities are endless. We expect there to be something related to Prey at the show, and it is possible we get the first taste of a new Elder Scrolls game or Bethesda Game Studios’ “Starfield” project. It has also been more than two years since the release of Doom, so a sequel seems like it could be ready for primetime.

No matter what ends up getting announced, we want to know the game you were most surprised or excited to see at the show. Let us know in the comments after the press conference has ended!

Anthropic cracks down on video game cloning with new Claude restrictions
Claude can still help develop original games, but copying existing titles is now off the table.

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.

Phantom Blade Zero hands-on: An extraordinary game with unbelievable combat that I can’t get enough of
Every fight feels like a beautifully choreographed martial arts movie, except I'm the one controlling every move.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.
