Shounen Jump, a weekly manga magazine, has a ridiculously huge roster of iconic characters, and in a perfect world, we’d get all of them. Unfortunately, that's probably not going to happen. Here are just 21 we want from series yet to be confirmed.
From Software’s Metal Wolf Chaos XD Announced
Devolver Digital announced Metal Wolf Chaos XD, a remaster of Dark Souls developer From Software’s 2004 Xbox game. The original game was only released in Japan.
Metal Wolf Chaos XD will be released later this year on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. This is the second From Software project featured at E3 2018, with the first being Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which was on Microsoft's stage and is being published by Activision.
The original Metal Wolf Chaos was developed and published by FromSoftware, the studio behind Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Armored Core, in 2004. A third-person shooter about a fictional US president fighting back a coup in a mech suit, Metal Wolf Chaos was released exclusively in Japan but featured English voice acting. Its over-the-top premise and voice acting earned it cult classic status.
The Elder Scrolls 6 Announced
The Elder Scrolls VI is officially in development, Todd Howard announced at Bethesda's E3 2018 press conference.
An extremely brief teaser was shown during the Sunday night press conference, showing only the logo. Bethesda clearly knew they were dropping the mic with the reveal, as this was the final reveal of the show. Watch the reveal trailer below:
Howard described The Elder Scrolls 6 as "the game after" their upcoming next-gen game, Starfield, which suggests it won't come out until at least 2020 (assuming Starfield arrives in 2019). "It's the one you keep asking about," he said to immediate audience cheers during the conference. Since Starfield will be a "next-gen" game, it would seem to be safe speculation that this means Elder Scrolls IV will be as well.
Bethesda Reveals ‘Next-Gen’ Game Starfield
Bethesda Game Studios has revealed its brand-new 'next-gen' game, Starfield. Todd Howard took the stage and revealed that this next-gen game would be a third open-world pillar next to Fallout and Elder Scrolls, and is the studio's “first wholly original franchise in 25 years.”
The tease was incredibly short, but Howard did say, “Starfield is a game that we have spent years thinking about and working on. Something we feel uniquely positioned to pull off and that we’re incredibly excited about. But we’re also building toward the game after that. And it’s the one you keep asking about.”
Though he didn't clarify, his use of the term "next-gen" seems to point to Starfield launching on the successors to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Fallout 76 Will Be “Entirely Online”: More Details Revealed
Todd Howard took to the Bethesda E3 2018 press conference stage to offer a new look at Fallout 76 -- including a look at gameplay -- and reveal gameplay details. But most notably, Howard confirmed that Fallout 76 will be "entirely online." The release date for Fallout 76 will be November 14, though there will be a beta opened earlier that will require pre-order for entry at a date to be announced.
"We have always wanted to tell that story of you and the other
who were first to leave the Vault: it's that each of those characters is a real person, because yes, Fallout 76 is entirely online," he said, adding that, "Of course you can play this solo."
The Elder Scrolls Blades Announced
At their E3 conference, Bethesda announced a new mobile game called The Elder Scrolls Blades. This is unrelated to The Elder Scrolls VI, which was also announced.
Bethesda's Todd Howard called Blades "a massive first person RPG with console quality graphics, but with a uniquely mobile experience." Howard also said it will be eventually come to PC, VR, and anywhere else they can put it, so it won't only be a mobile game.
It will feature hand crafted and procedurally generated dungeons, as well as leveling and character customization. It will also have a roguelike endless mode called Abyss and a PvP mode called Arena.
Fallout Shelter Coming to Nintendo Switch and PS4
During its E3 showcase tonight, Bethesda confirmed that Fallout Shelter is coming to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 today.
Fallout Shelter was originally revealed back at E3 2015 with a simultaneous launch on mobile. It later came to Xbox One and Windows 10, and has since gone on to pass 100 million players.

Fallout 76 Release Date Announced
Fallout 76 will be released on November 14. This news came during Bethesda's E3 2018 showcase.
Prior to launch, Bethesda will hold a beta (aka Break-it Early Test Application). A launch date for the beta has yet to be announced, but preordering the game is required to participate.
Additionally, Bethesda pulled back the curtain on the Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition. This special edition includes a wearable T-51b helmet, glow-in-the-dark terrain map, 24 figurines, canvas West Tek duffel bag, and more.

Bethesda Introduces Skyrim on Alexa in Hilarious Spoof
We all know Skyrim's reputation as popping up on every piece of tech, from its beginnings on 360, PS3 and PC to its continued expansion into new territories like Nintendo Switch.
Bethesda's Todd Howard acknowledged this social-media in-joke with a spoof commercial starring Keegan-Michael Keys and a new edition of Skyrim, one played on Amazon Echo.
It's a clever and self-aware spoof taking the well-worn internet joke of Skyrim "being on everything" and making it into something truly wonderful. The absurdity of playing Skyrim through voice commands and the relaxing voice of Alexa guiding you to the snow-capped mountain peaks of Skyrim adds to the hilariousness.
Prey and Wolfenstein VR Experiences Revealed
Wolfenstein and Prey VR experiences are on their way. This news came during Bethesda's E3 2018 conference.
The Prey VR experience will be connected to the Typhon Hunter DLC, a new mode that lets one player go up against five other player-controlled mimics. There will also be a single-player, puzzle-based portion of it.
The Wolfenstein VR experience game announced called Wolfenstein Cyberpilot, where you play a hacker who can take over nazi robots and turn them against their creators. This is separate from Wolfenstein: Youngblood, the new co-op game set for release in 2019.
