Bethesda was busy during its E3 2019 press conference, revealing the release date for Doom Eternal, detailing a new expansion for Fallout 76, and showing off Rage 2 DLC. The company also announced new games, such as the returning Commander Keen, Tango Gamework’s Ghostwire: Tokyo, and Arkane Studios’ Deathloop.

However, that didn’t stop Bethesda from dedicating time to the not-too-distant future either. Wolfenstein: Youngblood is just over a month away, and a violent new gameplay trailer has revealed some new details amidst all of the quick-cuts between frenetic Nazi-killing action.

Unlike any other game in the long-running series, Youngblood is a co-op shooter that can be played in single-player with an AI companion or in multiplayer with a friend. It’s set two decades after the conclusion of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, and takes place in an alternate reality version of 1980s Nazi-occupied Paris. Usual protagonist B.J. Blazkowicz has gone missing, so it’s up to his equally proficient daughters, Jess and Soph Blazkowicz–the “Terror Twins–to find him.

Aside from the new dual protagonists, the most interesting aspect of Youngblood is the introduction of co-op to the series. Combat in recent iterations of Wolfenstein has had a distinct feel and flow to it that now has to account for two powerful killing machines. The fast-paced trailer doesn’t signify if stealth will be returning as a viable option, but the sight of a gruesome melee kill would hint that you’ll be able to sneak through missions in tandem.

As far as new weaponry goes, the trailer shows off some advanced tools of Nazi-killing destruction. There’s an electricity gun that sets enemies on fire like the taser in Syphon Filter (a Tesla Cannon, perhaps?), rapid-fire Uzis that can be dual-wielded, and a Magnum Pistole that’s capable of popping skulls with relative ease. The “Terror Twins” are also wearing power armour similar to the one B.J. donned in The New Colossus, so there will probably be a degree of customisation between the two characters when it comes to selecting special abilities.

We’ll know more on July 26, 2019 when Wolfenstein: Youngblood is released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.

The latest X-Men movie, Dark Phoenix, hit theaters this weekend and scored the lowest opening for a movie in the entire mutant superhero series. The film opened at No.2 and made an estimated $33 million in its first three days on release. This is well below the last X-Men movie, 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse, which debuted with $65.7 million, which was itself considered a disappointment at the time. Dark Phoenix did better overseas and opened with $45.6 million in China, to bring the worldwide total to $107 million. Nevertheless, considering the negative reviews and the fact that the X-Men series is eventually expected to be rolled into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this is almost certainly the last movie featuring the current cast.

The animated The Secret Life of Pets 2 claimed the No.1 slot this weekend, with an estimated $47.1 million. Although the film did top the chart, this was also an underwhelming result compared to the impressive $104.3 million that the first film took in 2016, which remains a record opening for an original animated film in the US. However, it is worth bearing in mind that the reported production budget of Pets 2 was less than half of that of Dark Phoenix ($80 million compared to $200 million).

There were no other new entries in the Top 10 this weekend. Last week’s No.1, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, dropped into fourth place. Its domestic gross now stands at $78.5 million, and as Box Office Mojo notes, the film may have trouble breaking the $100 million barrier in the US. Its predecessor, 2014’s Godzilla, made $136 million in the US.

Elsewhere, Disney’s live-action remake of Aladdin moved down one place to No.3, while the musical Elton John biopic Rocketman fell to No.5. In the lower half of the chart, the Blumhouse-produced horror Ma and action sequel John Wick: Chapter 3–Parabellum, are at No.6 and No.7 respectively, while Marvel’s hugely successful Avengers: Endgame is at No.8. The movie has now taken $824.3 million in the US and $1.90 billion worldwide.

You can see the full Top 10 list for the June 7-9 US box office below, as compiled by Box Office Mojo.

The new Xbox console, Scarlett, was perhaps the biggest news to emerge from Microsoft’s E3 2019 press conference. However, despite revealing many of Scarlett’s specs, the company did not confirm whether the device would include a physical disc drive.

Fortunately, Xbox boss Phil Spencer has since reassured fans that Scarlett will indeed include a disc drive. He told GamesIndustry.biz that physical games are a part of the company’s future and went on to say: “We know that people still have discs. So even when we put out things like the Xbox One S All-Digital edition, we are very clear with the name because I am not trying to confuse anybody, that if you are somebody that has a library of discs, or that’s the way you want to acquire the content, then you should buy the Xbox One S, not the Xbox One S All-Digital… which is why we put it in the name, and yes I know it says SAD.

“I want to be very descriptive, because I am not trying to confuse anybody about what the options are. I want to give people choice, and right now physical is a choice that millions of people love.”

In recent months Microsoft has increasingly pushed digital games with initiatives such as Xbox Game Pass, which recently came to PC and is currently available for $1 / £1 with Xbox Live Gold included, and the Xbox One S All-Digital console, which does not come with a disc drive. The company is also rumored to be developing a second Scarlett console, reportedly codenamed Lockhart, that foregoes a disc drive, though this is as yet unconfirmed. In addition, Microsoft’s game streaming service, Project xCloud, launches this year.

The Xbox Scarlett console, or whatever it ends up being called, will launch in Holiday 2020. Pricing was not announced. But what we do know is that Halo Infinite will also release in Holiday 2020, presumably as a launch title for the new console.

The highly anticipated PS4 exclusive Persona 5 Royal launches for PS4 later this year in Japan, but Westerners need to wait until next year. Fortunately, we now have a new trailer to tide us over.

The video reveals the game’s English voice cast. The fan favorite Phantom Thieves return from Persona 5, plus the voices behind the game’s two new central characters have been revealed. They are Laura Post (Octopath Traveller, The Evil Within), who stars as talented gymnast and new playable party member Kasumi Yoshizawa, and Billy Kametz (3%, Marvel Avengers Academy), who plays Shujin Academy’s counselor and new confidant, Takuto Maruki. You can watch the trailer above.

Aside from the new characters, Royal differs from the original game by adding a third semester in the storyline along with extra events. There will also be new story beats towards the end of the game to help flesh out the conclusion.

Persona 5 Royal launches exclusively for PlayStation 4 in Japan on October 31, 2019 while the West will have to wait until sometime in 2020. For more on the game, check out our in-depth breakdown of the full Persona 5 Royal trailer that was revealed earlier this year.

CD Projekt Red is treating a fan who created a social media moment at Microsoft’s E3 2019 press conference to a free copy of Cyberpunk 2077. And it all revolves around–who else?–Keanu Reeves.

After a cinematic trailer that revealed Reeves appears as a character in Cyberpunk, the actor took the stage to talk about his involvement with the project. At one point he called the future-city “breathtaking,” at which point an excited fan shouted back, “you’re breathtaking!” Reeves responded in kind, creating a sweet moment that immediately went viral.

The shouter was Peter Sark, a YouTuber who tweeted about the event. The official account for Cyberpunk replied informing Sark that his call-out had earned a free copy of the Collector’s Edition.

The Collector’s Edition retails for $250 and includes a lot of physical and digital items, including a metal pin set, a statue of the game’s protagonist, sticker bomb set, game soundtrack, digital art book, and more. Check our Cyberpunk 2077 pre-order guide for more details.

In one of the more surprising pieces of E3 2019 news thus far, CD Projekt Red announced that action movie star Keanu Reeves has a role in Cyberpunk 2077. His character, Johnny Silverhand, was revealed in a slick new trailer for the ambitious RPG, and CD Projekt Red later confirmed the character is “key” to the story, which suggests we may see a lot of him in our time in Night City.

Reeves did the voice work and motion-capture for his Cyberpunk 2077 character, and he looks pretty fantastic. That wasn’t always the case. Reeves also appeared in the 2005 video game The Matrix: Path of Neo, and, well, his character model was not as highly detailed due to graphics being what they were back then.

Take a look for yourself in the image below, which was created by Reddit Juxtaposed_Reality and posted to the /r/games subreddit.

Keanu Reeves is having quite a year. He starred in the box office smash John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum, while he also has a cheeky role in the new Netflix movie Always Be My Maybe. On top of that, Reeves voices a character in this month’s Toy Story 4.

After years of development, Cyberpunk 2077 is finally releasing on April 16, 2020 across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. In other news, CD Projekt Red has confirmed that the game’s PC edition is digital-only in North America.

As part of the Xbox E3 2019 briefing, Microsoft announced that Halo Infinite will be a launch title for next-generation Xbox, which is codenamed Project Scarlett. Any time a new Halo game is released it is a big deal, but news that Halo Infinite is a launch title for the new console platform is especially noteworthy.

That’s because Halo hasn’t been a launch title for new Xbox hardware since all the way back in 2001 when Halo: Combat Evolved was released alongside the original Xbox.

Halo 2 was released in 2004, a year prior to the launch of the Xbox 360 in 2005. Halo 3 was released in 2007, which was a full six years before the Xbox One came out in 2013. Halo 5 launched in October 2015, two years into the Xbox One’s lifecycle. Halo Infinite, however, will launch day and date with the new Xbox Scarlett.

Halo Infinite will be playable on the entire Xbox family of devices, as well as PC. That means it’ll also play on Xbox One S and Xbox One X. Given the incredible specs of the new Scarlett system, Halo Infinite is likely to look and play best on that system (at least on console; PC players can crank it up as high as their PC will allow).

Halo Infinite being a launch title may help improve sales of the next-generation Xbox. However, unlike with previous console generations, older hardware is also supported so people will not need to buy the new Scarlett console to play it.

Project Scarlett is the name of Microsoft’s wider plan for next-generation consoles, according to Brad Sams. The console discussed during the Xbox E3 briefing is the one that’s codenamed Anaconda, according to Sams, while a lower-spec model known under the working title Lockhart is also reportedly in the works.

The original Halo was instrumental in helping the OG Xbox get off the ground, and Microsoft may be looking for Halo Infinite to be similarly important for Scarlett. Halo Infinite runs on a brand-new engine, Slipspace, and Microsoft might be looking to Halo Infinite to be a showcase of what the engine is capable of achieving, though this only speculation.

The new Halo Infinite trailer focused on the game’s story. We saw Master Chief in a tough spot before he gets rebooted–but without Cortana. The game is a “spiritual reboot,” so it remains to see what kind of story it will tell. But we do know Master Chief is the focus of it.

It might be a while before we see and learn more about Halo Infinite. Developer 343 Industries says it will stay dark until E3 2020 where it plans to talk about Halo Infinite more. It is always possible plans could change, but that seems to be the plan for now.

Fallout 76 has a battle royale mode, Wolfenstein: Youngblood is right around the corner, Doom Eternal has a bombastic multiplayer mode, and more reveals arrive from Bethesda!
