Kicking things off at the convention was id Software’s Studio Director, Tim Willits, who revealed that fan favourite Champion, Anarki, would be making a return in Quake Champions.
 
In the gameplay footage shown at the expo, we get to see some of the series’ trademark fast paced combat and rocket jumps in action:
While no release date has been announced for the PC exclusive shooter, it was revealed that a closed beta will take place next year.
 
The latest Prey trailer gives us a short glimpse at some in­-game footage of Arkane Studios’ reboot:
The game sees players stepping into role of the first human enhanced with alien powers, trapped on a space station currently under assault from an extraterrestrial threat
 
Prey is scheduled for release in 2017 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
 
Also announced at the expo was an open beta for The Elder Scrolls: Legends, the free-to-play strategy card game based on Bethesda’s fantasy RPG franchise.
 
Players interested in participating can download the beta now. Take a look at the video below for a overview of the gameplay:
And lastly, id Software also announced Unto the Evil, the first of three planned content drops for their DOOM reboot.
 
The new content includes three maps, a new weapon and equipment item, a new playable demon, and a surplus of customisation options such as patterns, colours, taunts and some new armour sets.
 
Have a look at what's on offer in the trailer below:
Unto the Evil is included in the season pass or can be purchased separately for £11.99.
 
Interestingly, id Software's PartyPlay system aims to avoid fragmenting the player base by allowing anyone to play the new maps as long as they're in a party with someone who owns the DLC.
 
There's also some screenshots to feast your eyes upon.
