Continuation of the collection list of all games of E3 2021 and Summer Game Fest 2021 – Devolver MaxPass+ ShowCase and Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase- all news, announcements, trailers, releases, info

This page continues the Long Trailer List, continuing with Devolver and with XBox and Bethesda. Here you can get a look at all the games, with some short descriptions, release dates, and more info, if available. Due to loading times I, unfortunately, had to split the list into several parts, but there is an overview through which you can easily switch between the different conferences and presentations.

E3 Games List 2021 – Overview of all parts:

• Part 1: Geoff Keighley’s Kickoff Show and Koch PrimeTime Presentation
• Part 2: IGN Simmer of Gaming Show and Ubisoft Forward
• Part 3: Devolver Digital MaxPass+ Presentation and Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase (this page)
• Part 4: Square Enix presents Summer Show 2021 & PC Gaming Show 2021

Last Update: June 15th, 2021

And now to something completely different….

Devolver Digital – MaxPass+ Showcase – E3 2021

Devolver has been known for several years for packaging their E3 presentations in satirical to extremely sarcastic promotional presentation films. Here, mostly certain clichés and grievances in the gaming industry are taken up and used in a strongly ironic view. The topic this time was probably the Games as a Service, Monetization, Premium Pass, etc. corner. Corner, which got all sorts of side blows and ridicule.

I’ll get to the individual games in a moment. But it’s absolutely worth taking a look at the entire show. There’s quite a bit to smile about and also quite well-acted gags to see.

Devolver Digital MaxPass+ Showcase – complete Show

Okay, and then to the individual games:

Shadow Warrior 3

The Shadow Warrior series is very well known and popular. The third part is a technically very upgraded Doom-like splatter shooter with ninjas and rather funny gameplay in an Asian setting. Devolver had already shown a first trailer some time ago, but for E3 there was now completely new gameplay to see.

Shadow Warrior 3 Gameplay Trailer 2 – E3 2021

Trak to Yomi

Actually not that dissimilar to the previous game, Trak to Yomi brings a samurai / ninja side-scroller with a very special art style. Black and white passages, cinematic sequences, and a lot of sword-fighting action with gritty ambiance and lots of blood.
Release: 2022 for NextGen Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1370050

Trak to Yomi – Reveal Trailer – E3 2021

Phantom Abyss

Phantom Abyss had already been briefly shown before E3. This is a first-person action game in which we run through Indiana Jones-like dungeons, dodge nasty traps, and jump over chasms. While running through a dungeon, you see the ghosts of those who have died before. The dungeons are supposed to be randomly generated from components, so it won’t be so easy to memorize the routes. Roughly, with the shadows, it reminds of a kind of Fall Guys with asynchronous multiplayer

Release: Early Access on Steam starting June 22, 2021, on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/989440

Wizard with a Gun

A comic book style mage and western hero crossover game. In terms of gameplay, Wizard with a Gun is an isometric action RPG with co-op survival similar to Don’t Starve.

Release: 2022 for Nintendo Switch and PC on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1150530

Death’s Door

This game takes us to a world of crows. We play isometric action combat combined with puzzles, platforming, and dungeon bosses.

Release: July 22, 2021, for Xbox, Gamepass and PC on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/894020

Death’s Door – Gameplay Trailer – E3 2021

Inscryption

This game looks very artistic and features a creepy card-based strategy game in pixelart style, deck-building, roguelike shimmers through between the lines here. The developers also talk about “Escape Room”-style puzzles, sounds like an interesting mix.

Release: 2021 for PC on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1092790

Inscyption – Reveal Trailer – E3 2021

Devolver Tumble Time

I suspect this is probably intended more as a gag and a meme. But it will probably still be an actual game, but that in itself is a spoof of other mobile games

Release: Android and IOS 2021 – Preregister: https://devolvertumbletime.com/

Devolver Tumble Time – Reveal Trailer – Mobile Game – E3 2021

Demon Throttle

An 8bit shooter with 80s vibes that will only be available as a physical version in retail stores.

Release date: 2022 for Nintendo Switch

Microsoft Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase – Summer Game Fest 2021

After the purchase of Bethesda by Microsoft, here are two big names in the gaming business presenting their new games, which have now become even bigger together. Meanwhile, almost everything that says XBox on it is also simultaneously available for PC in the XBox app. And with XBox Gamepass and XCloud Gaming, many of the titles are also available by subscription and on an enormous number of other devices via streaming, so you don’t even necessarily need an XBox console or gaming PC to play them (but of course, that would be better).

Here’s also a video of the full show in 4k, so the picture quality will certainly be better for many scenes than in the streams for the screening.

Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase – Full Show – 4k

If you do not like to look it complete, but just looking for a particular game, here then also all the games again individually. Well, then on to the presentations of the individual Games, as with all by Corona conditionally, previously recorded.

Starfield

It gets started with something that has been long-awaited. Todd Howard of Bethesda Game Studios immediately takes the stage to finally show off a new BGS role-playing game almost 10 years after Skyrim and 6 years after Fallout 4. Well, at least something of it. The trailer for Starfield was leaked beforehand and shown at the Washington Post, but even though there’s, unfortunately, no real gameplay to be seen, the graphics style is at least a major indicator of where Starfield might be headed. And there’s a release date at the end.

Release: will be released for Xbox Series X/S and PC on 11/11/2022

Starfield : Official Teaser Trailer – Summer Game Fest 2021 – E3

Into the Starfield: The Journey Begins

Update: On their YouTube Channel Bethesda Games Studios published a few days later another Video with some concept arts, a very little sneak peak of the new engine, and some more tidbits:

Stalker 2 – Heart of Chernobyl

If there is nothing really new (apart from F76) from the Fallout universe, then at least there is news about its Russian counterpart. Stalker 2, a sequel to the successful end-time role-playing shooter, is currently in the works and is once again set in the contaminated zone around the exploded nuclear power plant in Chernobyl.

Back 4 Blood (Back4Blood)

The new four-player co-op zombie shooter from the makers of Left4Dead. Zombies vs humans, from the makers of the first games that had zombies when they weren’t hype. In addition to co-op multiplayer, there are also some new PvP modes that may have the potential to harken back to old Left4Dead days.

Release: Xbox and PC on October 12, 2021

Back 4 Blood – Official PvP Announce Trailer – Summer Game Fest 2021

Contraband

From the makers of Just Cause and MadMax comes a completely new brand. Contraband offers four-player co-op action gameplay in an open world. The trailer shows 70s style and it seems to be about heists in the smuggling business.

Contraband – Announce Trailer – Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2021

It’s not Johnny Depp himself, but his and many other characters from the Pirates of the Caribbean universe will conquer Sea of Thieves in the new Free DLC Sea of Thieves: A Pirate’s Life.

Battlefield 2042

Twelve Minutes

Twelve Minutes, a very special game, was announced last year. A man is stuck in a time loop, his wife is accused of murder by the police and then he gets knocked out. After that, he has to relive the same 12 minutes over and over again. Like a Groundhog Day story, he can explore things, try things out, uncover secrets, and try to break the time loop at some point in the end. You look vertically into the world from above.

Unexpectedly, the studio now already announced Outer Worlds 2, even though the trailer hinted at non-existent content with a wink.
