![]() ![]() Having had a troubled development over several years, we’d been expecting some news on the game, which is said to have had a bit of a production reboot and a change of direction in the intervening years since its 2017 unveiling. It’s a bit worrying that Skull and Bones didn’t make an appearance at Ubisoft’s E3 showcase. Given that it’s been two years since the new BioShock was announced, we were hoping that we would finally get our first look at the next entry in the retrofuturistic series during E3 2021, along with an official name and release window - but had no such luck. ![]() The studio did announce it’s working on The Outer Worlds 2 and releasing more updates for Grounded, but we can’t say that we weren’t slightly disappointed that Avowed was absent from E3.īioShock 4 (or whatever it will be called) is officially in development at 2K Games’ new studio Cloud Chamber. Obsidian’s Skyrim-esque first-person RPG wasn’t part of Microsoft’s Xbox and Bethesda showcase, but head of Xbox Phil Spencer confirmed the game is still in development. Still, we’ve no idea what impact Covid-19 has had on the development team at Avalanche Software, and, with a rough 2022 launch window lined-up, there’s plenty of time yet to see where this ends up. ![]() Which is a shame, as Hogwarts Legacy, the upcoming Harry Potter RPG, appears to be coming along quite nicely from the early footage we’ve seen. Publisher Warner Bros were up front early on this E3 season that its only game on show would be zombie shooter Back 4 Blood. Rare did reveal that Sea of Thieves is getting an impressive new Pirates of the Caribbean crossover, though, so it wasn’t all bad news for fans of the studio. With news that the game recently got a new creative director, don’t expect to hear much about Everwild anytime soon. Rare’s brand new IP hasn’t been seen since its initial reveal at Microsoft’s X019 event, and its release date seems to be a good few years away. Perfect Dark was teased during The Game Awards 2020 and is being developed by The Initiative – hopefully we get an update during next year’s E3. It’s been 11 years since the last Perfect Dark game, and it looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer until we find out when we can get our hands on Joanna Dark’s next adventure. Ninja Theory has been slowly sharing development updates on the game, such as how it’s using new cloud tech, but we’re impatient to find out more. The game was first revealed at The Game Awards 2019, alongside the reveal of the Xbox Series X, but information has been thin on the ground ever since. Remember that disturbing Hellblade 2 reveal trailer? Well, that’s the last we saw of Ninja Theory’s follow up to its 2017 hit. In the meantime, fans of Samus Aran can look forward to playing Metroid: Dread, which releases on October 8. During Nintendo’s Direct, the company confirmed the company was “working hard on Metroid Prime 4”. Metroid Prime 4 was first announced six years ago, and it seems like Nintendo still isn’t ready to show the game off just yet. ![]() Hopefully we’ll find out more at next year’s E3 conference. The game is also being handled by Forza Horizon 5 developer Playground Games, so it’s unclear how much resources has gone into the next entry in the Fable series at this stage. Considering we only just found out that a new Fable game was on the way in 2020, it’s not too surprising that the beloved adventure RPG wasn’t ready to be shown at E3. ![]()
