Here Are All the Ways the World Ends in the Biggest Upcoming Video Games From E3
So this year's E3, currently underway in Los Angeles, has been good news for gamers but terrible news for a wide variety of fictional planet Earths. In game after game at the big Microsoft and Sony press conferences, developers showed off crumbling cities, violent hordes of survivors in various states of physical and mental decline, and lots of nigh-indistinguishable gunplay. To help you tell one post-apocalyptic wasteland from another, we've sorted the trailers based on which horseman seems most responsible. Nothing says "apocalypse" like "global thermonuclear warfare," so it's no surprise that mushroom clouds play a big role in several of these upcoming games. Fallout 76's new trailer gets pride-of-place for showing a doomed soldier take it all in before the blast wave knocks him or her to the ground for what looks like a pretty slow and painful death, as deaths caused by nuclear weapons go: Fallout 76 turns out to be an online multiplayer game rather than the single-player adventures that have characterized the Fallout series so far.
