![]() The only reason this game isn’t first on this list is because, well, we’re doing it in chronological order. It’s a Zelda game, it looks beautiful and its world is enormous, and it has a fandom going back more than 35 years. We’re not sure how much more can be said in anticipation of this game, the sequel to 2017’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) Image: Nintendo May 12 The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (PlayStation VR 2) Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Windows PC, full launch) May 11 Another Fisherman’s Tale (PlayStation 4, Xbox One) May 8 Darkest Dungeon 2 (Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) May 5 Hogwarts Legacy The open-world co-op shooter takes players to a benighted New England seaside town - literally, the sun is in permanent eclipse - to rid it of the vampire horde that has taken control. Snark aside, Redfall sounds like one of those Arkane concepts that plays like a page-turning best-seller, taking up all your time until you finally finish it. Redfall is a monster-filled sandbox with big immersive sim potential ![]() (Windows PC) Image: Arkane Austin/Bethesda Softworks Redfall Here is what’s coming, among the major video game launches, for May 2023. But it does feel like everyone is getting out of Nintendo’s way this month. There are plenty of other intriguing releases, releases out of early access, or previous-generation platform launches. It’s just, comparatively speaking, the only one remotely facing Zelda-sized expectations for its platform. Nintendo picked May 12 for The Legend of Zelda : Tears of the Kingdom all the way back in September, and Xbox took its chances back in January when it picked the 10 days in May before TotK dominates the gaming conversation.īut it’s not like Redfall is the only other game launching in May. If it’s something a studio or team wants to do and thinks would be a good fit, then great, but they don’t want to force VR if it isn’t appropriate or compatible.įingers crossed that Fallout 76 eventually gets VR support, but at this point I’m not so sure that’s gonna happen - at least not anytime soon.Arkane Studios’ Redfall already delayed out of 2022, drew a tough pinch-hit assignment when Microsoft gave it a May 2 launch date to appease Xbox Game Pass fans wondering when they were gonna get some day-one first-party hits.

Given Bethesda’s recent history with VR in Skyrim VR, Fallout 4 VR, DOOM VFR, and now Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot and The Elder Scrolls: Blades on the horizon, I had to ask: While it isn’t playable at the show, it will have an open beta soon for testing, as it’s the first game developed by Bethesda Game Studios to include online features (The Elder Scrolls Online is developed by ZeniMax Online Studios) and the first multiplayer game in the Fallout franchise. ![]() Undoubtedly one of the biggest games at E3 this year was the main feature of their conference: Fallout 76. Everything looked great and Todd Howard lit the internet on fire with his charismatic delivery. It featured expansions on existing games, brand new game announcements, and extended looks at previously announced games. Most would agree that, out of all of the major press conferences at the start of the week, Bethesda’s was the best. Original: Today at E3 2018 I got the chance to sit down for a private interview with Bethesda’s Senior Vice President of Global Marketing and Communications, Pete Hines. Update: Official hands-on impressions are hitting the internet today on October 8th, 2018, so we’ve republished the below article featuring an excerpt from an interview with Pete Hines from E3 about the game’s lack of VR support that originally ran on June 14th, 2018. Strapping on a modern gaming VR headset instantly transports you to limitless worlds and experiences.
