WithE3 2016less than a week away, speculation is ramping up on what developers and publishers will unveil at the conference. While nothing has officially been confirmed, a proven industry insider has shed some light on what gamers can expect from Bethesda, Microsoft, and Rockstar’s showcases, as well as the potential surprise return of the massively-popularSkyrim.
In a new podcast withMrMattyPlays, well-known industry insider Shinobi602 spoke about a number of topics regarding E3 2016. One of the more interesting tidbits that was revealed is that a new “remaster of sorts” will be unveiled atBethesda’s E3 Showcase.Though no confirmation or specific details were given by Shinobi602, there’s a very good chance that the remaster isSkyrim. Given the continual popularity and enduring fan support forSkyrim, as well as Bethesda’s recent launch ofconsole mods forFallout 4, it’s easy to see why a remaster ofSkyrimwill be an easy choice for the studio.
In addition to a revisit to Tamriel, Shinobi602 also confirmed the existence of aPreyreboot, which is being developed by Arkane Studios and will be also be unveiled at Bethesda’s showcase. The studio was initially rumored to be working on aPreytitle some years ago, with quotes suggesting that the game would bea spiritual successor of sorts toSystem Shock 2.
Beyond the news regarding the surprise remaster ofSkyrim,and the confirmation of aPreyreboot, Shinobi602 also talked about whatMicrosofthas in store for its E3 2016 showcase. Not only did he state that therumored upgraded Xbox Onewill make an appearance, but a Capcom Xbox exclusive will also be revealed. Given all the recent rumors regarding the imminent reveal ofDead Rising 4,there’s a good chance that this is the Capcom Xbox exclusive Shinobi602 was alluding to.

While Shinobi602 was pretty firm on theSkyrimand Microsoft news, he was less clear-cut regardingRockstar’s E3 showcase. He appears to have knowledge regarding therumoredRed Dead Redemption 2and Sucker Punch’s rumoredSpider-Mangame, but he neither confirmed nor denied the existence of both titles.
Until E3 rolls around or official confirmations start coming in, we should take Shinobi602’s news regardingSkyrim, Microsoft, and Rockstar with a grain of salt. But given how accurate his predictions have been in the past - including this year’s early reveal ofInfinite Warfare’s space setting- it’ll be interesting to see whether Shinobi602 will be correct come E3 2016.
For now,Skyrimis currently available for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
