15 Early Predictions For E3 2019

11. Bethesda Skips E3 2019

Bethesda has been an E3 mainstay for quite some time now, hosting an annual conference which tends to be a pretty mixed bag, and last year was certainly no exception.

But following the embarrassing reception to Fallout 76 late last year, it feels like they might sit out 2019 and let the dust fully settle before giving players the hard sell once again.

It'd certainly be a bit of a blow to E3 given that Sony also won't be present, but given the vitriol many fans harbour for Bethesda over Fallout 76's atrocious launch, nobody would blame them for taking a year's break.

After all, Doom Eternal and Wolfenstein: Youngblood can always be showcased during Microsoft's conference, and it's not like fans were really expecting to hear much about Starfield or The Elder Scrolls VI anyway.

In the unlikely event that they do host a conference, they'll probably spend way too much of it detailing how they're going to "continue supporting" Fallout 76. Yawn.
