E3 2021 is just under two weeks away, meaning that the teases, the hints and the reveals of reveals are going to pick up pace ahead of the all-digital event. Microsoft is throwing its hat in the ring with the long delayed Halo Infinite - and it seems like Bethesda's Starfield might appear alongside it too.
The latest installment of the legendary genre defining sci-fi FPS has had something of a rocky road leading up to now, with an initial planned release date coinciding with the launch of the latest generation of consoles. The Xbox Series X/S has been out for months now, but no Halo Infinite, so we know how that turned out.
Following the delay, the developers released a gameplay demo video a while ago that received a pretty negative response from the fanbase due to seemingly dated visuals and dull gameplay, but that was an early prototype version and not representative of the final product. The team has been polishing the game ever since and took fan feedback to heart when prettying up Halo Infinite.
Microsoft has now announced the exact time and date of their E3 showcase - it will take place on June 13th, 10 AM PT/1PM ET/6PM BST and will be broadcast on YouTube, Twitch, Twitter and Facebook. Halo will be sharing the spotlight with some other properties as well, since Microsoft is going to be flexing some of their recent acquisitions.
The presentation is titled "Xbox & Bethesda Showcase", which means the publisher's biggest recent addition to the family is going to have a pretty major role. Aside of the inevitable Skyrim port reveals, bringing the dragon slaying adventure to the new consoles and your fridge, probably, the planet seen in the showcase artwork suggests that the mysterious Starfield will also get some screen time.
