E3 2019: All The Bethesda Games Confirmed (So Far)
E3 2019 is just around the corner. The annual trade show returns on June 11, but before then, a number of the industry’s biggest publishers will hold press conferences showcasing some of the new games they have in the pipeline. That includes Bethesda, which confirmed it is hosting its own E3 press conference again this year just a couple of days ahead of the expo proper.
This year, Bethesda’s press conference takes place on Sunday, June 9, a few hours after Microsoft’s E3 Xbox One briefing. The presentation is set to kick off at 5:30 PM PT / 8:30 PM ET (1:30 AM BST on June 10) and will be broadcast online for viewers at home via Bethesda’s Twitch channel and other places.
As for what we can expect from the conference, Bethesda has been very tight-lipped. During last year’s briefing, the publisher unveiled a number of huge titles, including Rage 2, Doom Eternal, The Elder Scrolls VI, and a brand-new property, Starfield. So far the publisher has only confirmed that Doom Eternal will have a presence at this year’s conference, but it certainly won’t be the only game the company shows off. We know DLC for Rage 2 is on the way, so we may get our first glimpse at that during this year’s briefing.
However, two titles we can safely rule out are Starfield and Elder Scrolls VI. Last month, Bethesda’s Todd Howard confirmed that neither title will be at this year’s show. According to the company, last year’s reveals were just a “sneak peak” at the technology it’s been working on, and that both Starfield and ES6 are still a ways off, so we’ll likely need to wait a little longer to get more details about those games.
Be sure to check out GameSpot’s full coverage of E3 2019 for the latest breaking news. You can also see what all the other publishers have lined up for this year’s show in the full E3 conference schedule.

Fortnite Week 2 Guide: Where To Find Fortbyte #13 (Season 9 Utopia Challenge)
A new set of Season 9 content has arrived in Fortnite. We’re now in Week 2 of the new season, and that means there’s a new assortment of challenges to complete across PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices. As usual, clearing this week’s tasks will reward you with Battle Stars, which in turn will level your Battle Pass up and unlock the new Season 9 rewards.
That’s not all you can get by completing challenges, however. Epic has an extra reward in store for players who manage to finish all seven tasks from a given week: a special loading screen. These screens all feature a cool piece of artwork, but the real reason you want to get them is because they hold a clue pointing you to a free item hidden somewhere around the island.
In past seasons, completing all the even-number weekly challenges would give you a chance to collect a free Banner, which could be used as a profile icon. However, Epic is doing things a little differently this season. If you finish two weekly sets of challenges, you’ll still unlock a special loading screen; however, this one won’t point you to a free Banner, but rather a Fortbyte, a new type of collectible introduced this season. Fortbytes resemble small, glowing computer chips, and they can be found by meeting certain criteria, such as completing a certain number of challenges.
The reward for completing two weeks’ worth of Season 9 challenges is the Neochasers loading screen pictured above. This time, however, the clue isn’t hidden within the loading screen itself, but rather its description, which reads, “Last seen at battling at Dino Park outhouse, these two can’t be stopped.” That’s where you’ll find Fortbyte #13. Head south of Paradise Palms, near the three dinosaur statues, and find the port-a-potty there. Destroy it to reveal the Fortbyte, which is now all yours for the taking.
Unlike previous Utopia challenges, you don’t need to unlock the aforementioned loading screen to find this Fortbyte; you simply need to have purchased a Season 9 Battle Pass to collect it, so if you fall into that category, you can go straight to its location and pick it up without completing any of Week 2’s challenges. If you still need help finding the chip, we’ve marked its location on the map below. You can also watch us walk you through the challenge in the video at the top of this guide.
If you still need to complete any challenges from earlier in the season, you can find tips for all the trickier ones in our full Fortnite Season 9 challenges guide. And if you want to take a look at all the new cosmetics up for grabs, you can see all of the Fortnite Season 9 Battle Pass rewards in our gallery.
Week 2’s challenges arrive shortly after the release of Fortnite’s 9.01 update, which introduced yet another new weapon to the battle royale game: the tactical assault rifle, a fully automatic gun with a 30-round magazine. However, to make room for it, Epic has vaulted an older weapon: the combat SMG. You can see everything else that’s new in the full patch notes on the official Fortnite website.

Free Game: Get A Free Copy Of Guacamelee Right Now From Humble
It’s going to be a great weekend for PC gamers on a budget, as the Epic Store just launched a storewide sale with some incredible deals, and multiple free games are available from various digital stores right now. For exactly zero dollars, you can claim horror anthology Stories Untold from Epic and open-world sports adventure Steep from Ubisoft for a limited time. The latest freebie on our radar is from Humble Bundle–and unlike the previous two deals, you can redeem this one on Steam.
Humble is giving away Guacamelee: Super Turbo Championship Edition for free for the next few days, and all you have to do is sign up for the store’s newsletter. The offer is available until Sunday, May 19 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET or while supplies last, so don’t wait too long to claim this deal.
GET GUACAMELEE FOR FREE AT HUMBLE »
Guacamelee is an excellent Metroidvania-style action-platformer that tells the story of agave farmer Juan Aguacate, who is in love with the mayor’s daughter. At the beginning of the game, Juan is killed by evil skeleton Carlos Calaca; however, he’s later given a magical luchador mask that allows him to return to the world of the living and fight demonic skeletons in his quest to rescue his true love and save his town.
The game earned an impressive 9/10 in GameSpot’s Guacamelee review for its charming characters and dialogue, great combat, unique visuals, and masterful balance of drama and comedy. “Even if 2D platformers aren’t your thing, Guacamelee’s bound to have something for everyone, whether it’s the humor in the writing and world design, the great combat, or even the ability to transform into a chicken,” wrote GameSpot’s Peter Brown. “It’s an excellent ride while it lasts, and with the extra content on board, the PC version is the best way to travel through the troubled town of Pueblucho in style.”
If you enjoy Guacamelee, consider picking up its equally-superb sequel, Guacamelee 2, which is 60% off at Humble as part of its Spring Sale. The game is only $8 for the next week or so.
