This week at DICE (where Fallout 4 won GOTY), Todd Howard spoke about three mystery projects Bethesda is working on that presumably don’t have to do with their most famous universes.
“We actually have three kind of longer term projects we’re doing that are all – we’ll talk about them at a future date – but they’re different than anything we’ve done before, while also being a Bethesda-style game….Big and crazy, but in many ways different than things we’ve done before. It’s an exciting time.”
Between “big and crazy” and “Bethesda-style game,” that implies a large, open world RPG, given that it’s Bethesda’s specialty, though if these are all new IPs, that is a pretty significant revelation from the developer.
Bethesda has published non-Fallout/Elder Scrolls titles in the past, of course. Most recently that would be Wolfenstein, Dishonored and the upcoming DOOM, but in terms of games that Bethesda Game Studios has made directly, that’s Fallout and Elder Scrolls all the way. From Howard’s comments, it really does seem like they’re talking about games they’re making themselves, rather than publishing another developer’s work.
When asked could one of the new titles be a new Elder Scrolls or Elder Scrolls VI, Todd Howard stated, “I think it’s still possible that one of those projects will be an Elder Scrolls game, actually. Just because they’re doing something different doesn’t mean that’s not a reference to doing a very different type of ES game rather than something totally new. I feel like the language is sort of vague and could mean a lot of things, though I may be wrong.”
Well, that's not a No, lol.
