In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase the 5 biggest games revealed at Xbox Bethesda Games Showcase.

1. Starfield
2. Redfall
3. Hollow Knight: Silksong
4. ARK 2
5. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

1. Starfield

Starfield is the first new universe in 25 years from Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4. In this next-generation role-playing game set amongst the stars, create any character you want and explore with unparalleled freedom as you embark on an epic journey to answer humanity’s greatest mystery.

Overall, Starfield represents the first new intellectual property (IP) by Bethesda Game Studios in over twenty-five years and has been described by director Todd Howard as "Skyrim in space".

2. Redfall

Redfall is an open-world, co-op FPS from Arkane Austin, the award-winning team behind Prey and Dishonored. Continuing Arkane’s legacy of carefully crafted worlds and immersive sims, Redfall brings the studio’s signature gameplay to this story-driven action shooter.

Overall, with the 4 person co-op gameplay and special powers, Redfall somewhat resembles Borderlands. Combining that with a layer of level designs similar to that of Left 4 Dead, we can clearly see that Redfall is going to be a special experience. Will Redfall have single player? Thankfully, you won't be forced to play with other people if you don't want to, and you can go it entirely solo.

3. Hollow Knight: Silksong

Hollow Knight: Silksong is an upcoming Metroidvania action-adventure video game developed and published by Team Cherry. It was originally announced on 14 February 2019, as a sequel to the 2017 game Hollow Knight. This is undoubtedly one of the most beloved indie titles of the last decade, with a challenging and rewarding gameplay loop.

In this sequel, the combat is going to be much faster-paced, with better fluidity and platforming. The first game's permadeath mode is going to come back as well, with a bit of difference compared to the original game's permadeath mode.

4. ARK 2

ARK Survival Evolved is one of the most underrated survival games in modern gaming. However, it is also filled with a lot of bugs and questionable game designs. ARK 2 is going to deal with all these problems - every aspect of the ARK series has been rethought and redesigned in this sequel.

In ARK 2, the player suddenly awakened in a strange primal world filled with dinosaurs and humans struggling for dominance. They must piece together the history of how they arrived there, team up with legendary heroes, and confront powerful dark forces seeking to control the fate of all life.

5. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty follows the dramatic, action-packed story of a nameless militia soldier fighting for survival in a dark fantasy version of the Later Han Dynasty where demons plague the Three Kingdoms. Players fight off deadly creatures and enemy soldiers using swordplay based on the Chinese martial arts, attempting to overcome the odds by awakening the true power from within.

With the trailer being fully cinematic, it is not clear which genre or what the gameplay of Wo Long is going to be like. However, with the developer being Team Ninja, it is fair to expect Nioh gameplay on a Three Kingdoms backdrop.
