So far, Microsoft has really stolen the show at E3 with a slew of huge announcements during the Xbox/Bethesda showcase yesterday. Trailers for Forza Horizon 5, Starfield, and Halo Infinite, a release date for Psychonauts 2, and a totally new game from Arkane are just some of what Xbox/Bethesda brought to the table, and apparently, they're still not done.
Courtesy of Gamertag Radio's Parris Lilly comes news that Microsoft is going to host another games presentation on Thursday, just days after E3's closing ceremonies. Xbox Games Showcase: Extended will take place on June 17 at 10 AM PST, according to Lilly, and will include "conversations with developers from studios like Double Fine, Obsidian, Ninja Theory, Rare, and dev partners from around the world!"
Double Fine will obviously talk about Psychonauts 2 and its impending release date, while Obsidian is likely to talk about The Outer Worlds 2 and why they didn't immediately jump into making Fallout: New Vegas 2 as soon as Microsoft's Bethesda purchase went through.
Rare did have a big get in Johnny Depp reprising his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the upcoming Sea of Thieves expansion, but there was no mention of Everwild in yesterday's presentation. Ninja Theory's work on Senua's Saga: Hellblade II also didn't get a mention last night, so hopefully we'll see both of those games in this extended showcase.
Perfect Dark, Avowed, and IOI's Project Dragon are also big games that haven't received much of a spotlight at E3. With 23 studios under its belt, Microsoft could probably bring us a three-hour livestream and still not touch every game it has in development.
Another game that didn't get mentioned during yesterday's Xbox/Bethesda presentation was The Elder Scrolls 6, but it turns out there might have been an Elder Scrolls Easter egg in the Starfield trailer. Take a look at 1:18 for a marking that looks like the shape of High Rock and Iliac Bay, which might be locations we'll see in TES6.
