A new trailer for the Phantom Liberty expansion to Cyberpunk dropped, and in spite of the base game’s flaws (and not to encourage the same hypetrain mistakes again), this looks pretty fun!

Ol’ mate Todd Howard took to the stage to talk, of course, about Starfield, which releases in two weeks. There was also a live action trailer, which personally I always think are kinda odd.
Pearl Abyss’ upcoming open-world action/adventure got a gameplay trailer, showing horseback exploration, combat, cat-cuddling and more.
A new entry to the cute but haunting indie puzzle/platform series was revealed - check out the trailer here. Keen.
With only four days left, From and Bandai have given us the official launch trailer for Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon.
Between Baldur’s Gate, this and Starfield shortly thereafter, we’re truly spoiled for choice!
