It's actually tricky this year tbh, we will no doubt see a glimpse of what some games might look like nxt gen (year 1 games), project xcloud details, ninja theory new ip, 3rd party rinse and repeat games, state of play with tlou pt2 release date and new gameplay section with clickers etc (rather than human side, maybe see Joel), animal crossing.

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Well, if your consoles and games are barely found in any stores any more, of course you're gonna struggle finding consumers ...

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.
