The next one ended E3 – So, it's time to take stock. Fortunately, the virtual format of the exhibition did not affect its level: loud announcements, bright trailers and explosive news, we got no less than in the “Dokovynoye” 2019. In fact, there were so many of them that we had to try, selecting the ten most important games from E3 2021.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 She became a legend long before the official announcement, and after it remained a ghost game without screenshots, video and other details for a long time. Now the situation is finally corrected: the continuation of the main brainchild of the post -Soviet Gamdev not only exists, but is almost ready for the release.
The new gameplay trailer was shown by a damn beautiful zone, familiar anomalies, a good shooting at first glance, mediocre facial animations based on photogrammetry and extremely convincing bloodsucker. Stalkers are responsible for the atmosphere, stricking on bonfire guitars, realistic weather and native aesthetics of the post -apocalyptic USSR. Everything is like in 2007-although now there is a chance that the new version of the simulation of life will finally begin to work normally. It will be possible to go hunting for Khabar on April 28, 2022.
Starfield
Large single role -playing games from Bethesda – This is always an event. Moreover, the event is very rare: Skyrim, Recall that the tenth year has been going on, and Fallout 4 – The sixth. It has long been time to put fans with something new. So the teaser Starfield became a real bomb even without a single frame of the current gameplay.
True, nothing is really clear, but Bethesda is Bethesda: they promise us “Skyrim in space”, and “a mixture of NASA and Indiana Jones”, and “Khan Solo Simulator”. You can safely wait for a large open world, worked out a futuristic universe with a detailed chronology, many factions with a radically different views on life, the opportunity to become anyone in a distant-dale Galaxy and generally freedom in everything. The release will be held on November 11, 2022. And, to the chagrin of fans of PlayStation, exclusively on Xbox Series and PC. Well, at least they promise to not tolerate the release date.
Back 4 Blood
Back 4 Blood it is not without reason that is called the "spiritual heiress Left 4 Dead". For fans of the previous creativity Turtle Rock Studios Everything promises to be familiar: zombies, surviving, asynchronous multiplayer. Moreover, the orientation on the network game promises to become so deep that at first there will be no offline campaign in the game at all-even with bots. As many as eight characters will be offered to choose from. Everyone, as usual, has his own chips: say, the doctor receives a bonus for treatment, and the apartment -maker provides partners on the command of additional ammunition. But the main difference from Left 4 Dead is in the system of cards with modifiers that gamers will play and the “virtual director” – AI, responsible for everyone to have fun.
Back 4 Blood will be released on October 12 Blood Moon Casino on PC and consoles Sony And Microsoft relevant and previous generations. And already for the first half of August two waves of beta testing are scheduled: first for those who pre-orders, and then for ordinary mortals.
Battlefield 2042
Debut trailer Battlefield 2042 became almost the best commercial in history Electronic Arts. Dear, beautiful and full of corporate insanity – it causes an immediate desire to play this even among those who do not tolerate multiplayer shooters. What is only a pilot, which catapults from the fighter right in the air, knocks out another plane from the bazuka and returns back to the cabin as if nothing had happened (and this, by the way, is a reference to the old virus roller)! But you better look at yourself.
This time, the usual classes were taken by operatives in the manner Call of Duty: Black Ops, However, the main essence of the game remained the same. We, as always, are waiting for huge maps (naturally unique and dynamic), many techniques (judging by the trailers, in the range from tricycles to space missiles) and a clean, uncomplicated action as the basis of gameplay. The main feature should be natural disasters like a hurricane or sandstone that can instantly change the balance of power on the battlefield. But the main thing is that it will be possible to fly on Wingsyut wings through the tornado on October 22 of the current year.
Psychonauts 2
Fortunately, E3 is not only multiplayer shooters. It is nice to know that at the largest video game exhibition of the world there is still a place for unusual copyright projects like Psychonauts 2. This is a long -term construction s.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Tim Shaifer himself claimed that he came up with the plot of continuation, barely finishing work on the first Psychonauts, That is 16 years ago. Fortunately, the years seem to have been favorable to a new creation Double FinE Productions : the game breathes familiar good madness, the graphics look more stylish than outdated, and the gameplay of the classic 3D platformer will not grow old and after 30 years.
Not to say that they told something fundamentally new about the game about the game, but now we know the release date. Fans will be able to return to the adventures of the parcel Aquato on August 25.
Age of Empires 4
Another continuation of the legendary series is this time a strategic. Age of Empires 4 Waiting for more than a year – and, it seems, is not in vain. We are promised classic RTS, in which it will be possible to choose one of the peoples completely dissimilar to each other and bring it to the prosperity through the centuries. Fire and sword, of course. The release will allow you to play for one of the eighth sides, including England, France, Mongolia, China, the Holy Roman Empire, the Deliy Sultanate, the Abbasid Caliphate and even Moscow Rus'. Each nation will receive its unique bonuses and great personalities like Jeanne d’Arc.
Battles on land and sea will begin on October 28.
The Outer Worlds 2
First The Outer Worlds Once again, she proved: in Obsidian Entertainment know how not only to develop strangers, but also to invent their own worlds. “Masters of the second parts” created, perhaps, not the largest or most deep RPG in history, but certainly one of the best games of 2019. She took a stylish retro-futuristic setting, charming partners, excellent black humor and a good reigree-a real joy for those who are tired of watching what the main role series of our time degenerate. Actually, about The Outer Worlds 2 We know almost nothing, except that she will continue the course of the predecessor, because so far the developers "came up with only the name".
Judging by the trailer, humor here will be at least no worse, and the game will offer a new star system and a new crew. The release date of The Outer Worlds 2 is still unknown.
Marvel= Guardians of the Galaxy
Studio Eidos montreal can boast of a good portfolio: Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Deus Ex: Mankind Divated, Shadow of the Tomb Raider… but it seems that it is suddenly announced Guardians of the Galaxy will be a real breakthrough for them. After all, we are promised no less " Mass Effect By Marvel ". Moreover, without any flirting with the concept of “game as a service”, microtransactions, cooperative and in general multiplayer. After the half -dead Marvel’s Avengers – Just a balm for the soul!
Already on October 26, on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series, a whole universe will open to us: with a non -linear plot, moral elections and tactical battles. True, they will be directly allowed to guarantee only the star lord himself, but the rest of his famous team can be given instructions. But the coolest here is the soundtrack composed of hits of the 80s performed by mastodonts like Iron Maiden And Kiss. We are looking forward to!
Babylon’s Fall
And here Babylon’s Fall announced for a long time: even on E3 2018. But only this year we were revealed the true essence of the project. And it turned out to be the same “Game-Service” with a cooperative online multiplayer and, obviously, microtransactions. However, there is nothing vicious in this – if only the game was good, but it still looks good: epic, with a grand scale and pathos. Although the main thing here, of course, is in the original watercolor style, which, combined with three -dimensional graphics, looks extremely interesting.
Babylon’s Fall will be released on PC, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. When-a riddle, but the most curious can already apply for participation in the beta test.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2
Doubts that Nintendo Sooner or later, one of his most important series will continue, no one had. The question, as always, was only in time-and it finally came: “Big N” showed a continuation The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. True, there is still very little information: even the subtitles of the new "Zelda" are kept secret. So Breath of the Wild 2 – This is just a temporary designation for the convenience of fans and the press. But they promise rewinding time and flights over Khairul, so it will definitely not be boring.
The project output is scheduled for 2022, but there is no exact release date yet.
Of course, these are far from all important games that have shown at the past E3. The airtime got the domestic Atomic Heart With a strange trailer for the song of the Mirage group, and new Metroid Under the heading DREAD (Finally two-dimensional again!), And Two Point Campus – Continue of ideas crazy Two Point Hospital, and a breakthrough of other, no less interesting projects. And what projects have become the main games of the exhibition for you personally? Be sure to tell in the comments!
