Next, Bethesda showcased a new Elder Scrolls Online trailer. It’s time to create your own story and discover the gorgeous online lands of Elder Scrolls Online.

Jup, another World Premiere. We see a spaceship crashing on an unknown planet. Don’t Nod is at the steering wheel, which probably means an emotional rollercoaster. It looks clean, action-packed, and thrilling. Aphelion is coming in 2026.
Time for yet another premiere. Looks like you inherited a hotel. Okay, this is something special. A musical game? What a fun trailer, definitely got my attention. It’s basically a hotel renovation simulator, but it looks like so much fun! And why would you just renovate the hotel if you can renovate the entire village? What’s more, it’s a puzzle game as well!

Yup, a lot of combinations to catch your fish and swap fish tales. It looks pretty entertaining to say the least. You can also create your own Valve. Fallout 76 Gone Fishing is worth the look:
Another world premiere of Solo Leveling Arise Overdrive, which is a high-paced action game with four-player co-op support. Coming to Xbox and PC in 2026.
Pawprint Studios comes with another world premiere. This is a cute one.

Next year marks the 25th anniversary of the franchise, and Phil Spencer is here to celebrate it and name drop Fable and a returning IP that’s been with them from the start… A nice teaser, but gameplay would have been better… Anyway, lots of game reveals, not that many console exclusives, and a few Switch 2 games. Maybe they want to focus on the portable ROG Ally. After this presentation, you can check out Outer World 2 and Grounded 2 some more, but it’s time for the final World Premiere.
The last trailer focuses on a futuristic world where robots help humanity to thrive. The Guild is here to protect us, but the trailer takes a horror turn once our main character jumps onto the screen. Ten out of ten for an atmospheric teaser for sure.
