The annual video game trade show E3 kicked off this weekend with big announcements from Microsoft Corp., Ubisoft Entertainment SA, and Square Enix Inc.

The highlights included first looks at an upcoming Ubisoft game based on James Cameron’s Avatar movies and Starfield from Bethesda Softworks, which was purchased by Microsoft last fall for $7.5 billion. Starfield will be out on Nov. 11, 2022 and will not be available on rival Sony Corp.’s PlayStation consoles, Microsoft said.
