The trailer delivered new in-game footage, but it looked quite rough as the Nintendo Switch is beginning to show its age, raising one major question – where is the Nintendo Switch Pro? Somehow though, this ended up being double-edged sword. The Nintendo Direct ended as we all hoped it would, with a brand-new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2. Square Enix has another HD-2D Switch exclusive in the works under the name “Project Triangle Strategy”, Game Freak will be releasing its most ambitious Pokémon game to date in the form of Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Ubisoft has Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope lined up. Nintendo fans have a lot to look forward to next year as well. Over the next six months, Nintendo will have Mario Golf: Super Rush, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, No More Heroes III, Metroid: Dread, Shin Megami Tensei V, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, and another classic remake in Advance Wars 1+2: Reboot Camp. Out of all the games Nintendo announced at E3 this year, the majority of them are releasing in 2021, bringing plenty of excitement to Nintendo Switch owners for the second half of the year. Still, Nintendo always saves its biggest hitters for the summer game announcement season and this year was no exception. Nintendo stopped doing live on-stage shows for E3 many years ago, replacing them with more regular Nintendo Direct streams. With all of this, Microsoft has sent a strong message – Xbox Game Pass is going to be the best deal in gaming for years to come. Before the end of this year, one marquee game will be launching onto Xbox Game Pass every month, including Microsoft Flight Simulator, Psychonauts 2, Back 4 Blood, Forza Horizon 5, Age of Empires IV and Halo Infinite. Out of the 30 games Microsoft showed, 27 of them are coming to Xbox Game Pass, including six months’ worth of headliners all coming in the very near future. Xbox Game Pass was really the standout of the show. Sea of Thieves is getting a crossover with Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean, Battlefield 2042 debuted its multiplayer trailer during the Xbox showcase, Blizzard made a brief appearance to announce the release date for Diablo II: Resurrected and finally, we got a lot of Xbox Game Pass titles. Microsoft dipped into its bag of third-party partnerships too, revealing exclusives like “Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl” for April 2022 and Avalanche Studios’ “Contraband “. Microsoft also countered an upcoming PS5 exclusive, Deathloop, with another Arkane Studios game of its own – Redfall, due out in 2022. One of the best reveals of E3 came from none other than Playground Games with Forza Horizon 5, showcasing stunning next-gen graphics and better yet, a November 9 th release date. With so many first-party studios now under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella, Microsoft was able to win with variety. Unfortunately, no specific dates were given for these playtests, in-fact, Halo Infinite does not have a final release date, instead we are left with a vague ‘Holiday 2021’ release window.įortunately for Microsoft, it did not need Starfield or Halo Infinite to be great in order to ‘win’ E3 2021.

Instead, 343 Industries chose to focus on multiplayer, emphasising the fact that Halo Infinite multiplayer will be free to play and that we can expect playable alpha and beta tests over the summer. We did not get a new campaign gameplay demo to showcase the improvements made since last year’s showing. Microsoft’s other marquee exclusive, Halo Infinite, also had an underwhelming outing. The trailer was all captured in-game and the overhauled Creation Engine is looking great, but a lack of gameplay, story details and a late 2022 release date really held this back from being an all-time great E3 moment like Fallout 4's reveal. It started off with a banger too, with Todd Howard immediately taking to the stage to introduce Starfield with its first proper trailer. Microsoft’s Xbox and Bethesda E3 showcase was the closest thing we had to a normal E3 presentation. Let’s take a look back at the winners and losers of this year’s E3. Microsoft and Nintendo had particularly good showings, but the event as a whole felt somewhat disjointed and dare I say, lacked the magic of previous E3 events. E3 2021 has officially wrapped up after several days of virtual conferences from major publishers.
