Xbox and Bethesda are all set for the second joint showcase this summer. But, apart from the main event this weekend, Microsoft confirmed that both video game companies will conduct another “extended” stream a few days after the main event.
To recap, the main Xbox and Bethesda showcase is slated on Sunday, June 12, at 10 a.m. PT. Fans will be able to watch it through YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, and Facebook with the streaming links that can be found through this blog post. Global fans can also watch the event through Steam and China’s Bilibili.
Last year, Microsoft held a secondary event after the main Xbox and Bethesda showcase. The companies will continue that new tradition this year as Microsoft confirmed the Xbox Games Showcase Extended is scheduled on Tuesday, June 14, 10 a.m. PT.
The extended stream will also run for around 90 minutes. As the name suggests, the event will serve as an extension of the main showcase. So fans can expect added teasers about the games that will be included in the program this Sunday. “We will share new trailers, take deeper looks at the news from the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase and speak with some of your favorite game creators,” Xbox Wire’s Will Tuttle said.
Fans are still left guessing which games, announced and unannounced, will be part of the Xbox and Bethesda showcase this weekend, but there are several great candidates. The lineup will most likely include the delayed titles “Starfield” from Bethesda and “Redfall” from Arkane.
Both games were originally planned to launch later this year, but Bethesda announced that developers will need more time to polish both titles and their launches were both moved to 2023. While it might not be enough, fans might find it a nice consolation to finally get longer gameplay trailers for “Starfield” and “Redfall” at the upcoming Xbox and Bethesda presentations.
Last year, Xbox and Bethesda held their first joint showcase that unsurprisingly featured a long list of first-party AAA games. Microsoft also used last year’s event to announce the lineup of titles that will be added to the Xbox Game Pass library, and it could be something that the company will continue doing in the upcoming showcase.
