E3 2019's early June start date is less than three months away, and Bethesda's ready to join the ranks of publishers ready to start building up excitement for the event. Bethesda has now confirmed that its annual Bethesda E3 Showcase will be returning this year. Invitees can attend the #BE3 2019 event on Sunday, June 9 at 5:30 pm PT to see Bethesda's pitch for its upcoming slate of games.

Doom Eternal was first announced during Bethesda's E3 Showcase in 2018, with the game's development remaining relatively quiet since. Bethesda previously confirmed that id would be developing Doom Eternal's multiplayer components in-house, promising a more social experience compared to 2016's critically acclaimed Doom. Doom Eternal will also have a single player campaign, a direct continuation of the previous game.

Bethesda and id clearly have plenty of Doom Eternal to share with excited fans. It's only fitting that the highly anticipated sequel be Bethesda's first confirmed game for E3 2019.

Beyond Doom Eternal, Bethesda's E3 line-up is a mystery. Bethesda's current focus is on Rage 2, but Avalanche's sequel to id's 2011 shooter will be released in May prior to E3. Bethesda announced both Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 in 2018, but were announced very early in development and may not appear at E3 again for some time. Wolfenstein: Youngblood and Cyberpilot could make an appearance. Beyond that, both Arkane Studios and Tango Gameworks are working on unknown projects, and may be ready to share more information by E3.

Many were originally speculating Bethesda might skip having an E3 press conference this year, as most of the publisher's studios may not be ready to share games. Perhaps the upcoming Bethesda E3 Showcase will surprise everyone, though.
