Bethesda E3 2018 Showcase May Be Company's Longest Ever

Bethesda only began hosting its own E3 showcases a few years ago, and the company has already become known for packing them with surprise announcements. As E3 2018 approaches, company marketing VP Pete Hines says this year's could end up being the longest they've ever done.

"Bethesda Showcase is in one month. I'm starting to get excited," Hines said in a tweet. "We have a lot to show you this year. Might be our longest E3 Showcase ever? Not sure, but it's packed."

As a strategy, Bethesda tends to keep its announcements very close to release. Often a look at E3 is the first we've seen of a game before its release in the fall, with an unusually low occurrence of leaks. That appears to be different this year, as Rage 2 from Bethesda was one of the games seemingly outed by Walmart Canada. Rather than deny it or go radio silent, though, both the official Rage 2 account and Hines have made tweets all but confirming it, and recent teaser images have pointed to an announcement coming soon--possibly as soon as Monday.

Bethesda's conference will take place Sunday, June 10 at 6:30 PM PT / 9:30 PM ET. Other conferences are spread throughout the weekend and Monday, including presentations from Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Sony, and Nintendo. Check out the full schedule for more details.
