E3 2015: Battlecry Opens up Global Beta Signups

dimanche 14 juin 2015

It's been over a full year since Bethesda first unveiled its team-based multiplayer game, Battlecry. But the free-to-play competitive combat game without gunpowder is still in line to hit beta later this year, so it was only natural that Bethesda would show off some more of the game at E3 2015. This marks the game's first appearance since last year's PAX Australia, when Bethesda announced that the beta would hit that region first.

Thankfully players around the world can now join in the multiplayer madness by signing up for Battlecry's Global Beta over on their official website. The latest build of the game will be playable at this year's E3 conference, and we'll be sure to share anymore details as they roll in. Today's presentation also introduced the game's newest playable group, the Han Republic.

E3 2015: Doom

Bethesda Softworks and iD Software announced they’d be revealing Doom during its first-ever E3 press conference, which has been in production since 2008. Since then, its been in developmental limbo at iD Software, but today, we were treated to a gameplay demo that was longer than the 11-second tease released last month.

The Bethesda pre-E3 press conference kicks off with Doom, which promises to take first-person shooters to an all-new level. The new game is centered around badass demons, big f'ing guns, and moving really fast. You only have one goal at this massive UAC facility on Mars: Kill lots of demons.
