Bethesda managed to pack a whole lot of content into its 40 minute event, which was great for all of us on the East Coast who stayed up until midnight to watch it. But for those of you who didn’t spend over half an hour watching an E3 showcase in the middle of the night on a Sunday, we’ve wrapped up all of the biggest announcements and trailers into a single post. Scroll down to see them all.

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is a standalone adventure
Rather than release more DLC for Dishonored 2, Arkane Studios decided to develop a standalone game set in the Dishonored universe instead.

The Evil Within gets a creepy looking sequel

Horrifying threats emerge from every corner as the world twists and warps around you. Will you face adversity head on with weapons and traps, or sneak through the shadows to survive? This is your one chance at redemption, and the only way out is in.”
The Evil Within 2 will be out on October 13th for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus has a wild sense of humor
“An exhilarating adventure brought to life by the industry-leading id Tech 6, Wolfenstein II sends players to Nazi-controlled America on a mission to recruit the boldest resistance leaders left. Fight the Nazis in iconic locations such as small-town Roswell, New Mexico, the flooded streets of New Orleans, and a post-nuclear Manhattan. Equip an arsenal of badass guns, and unleash new abilities to blast your way through legions of advanced Nazi soldiers, cyborgs, and über soldiers in this definitive first-person shooter.”
