    NGL I don’t have a lot of faith in Bethesda to actually create quality anymore. The image for this is for Vegas, which was more obsidian’s work, and they did it in a fraction of time, I think?

    Is that code for “Rerelease Skyrim again”?

      I mean if they did the Oblivion Remastered with Skyrim, that’s easy fucking money.

      Or even Fallout 3 & 4.

    What else have they been busy with? Just Starfield?

      Seriously, it isn’t like Bethesda has a long list of IP to work with here.

      Other than Elder Scrolls and Fallout (which they should already be assumed to be focusing on to begin with), the only other IPs that are still alive would be DOOM and maybe Wolfenstein,

      Dishonored is dead, Quake is dead, they shuttered Tango so no continuation of Hi-Fi Rush or Ghostwire, RAGE is dead.

      Another Indiana Jones maybe?

        Oh is it Bethesda and ID software now? I didn’t know they merged. I knew ID software helped with Starfield, but I thought they were still separate.

        Hi-fi got picked up by a different studio, didn’t it?

        id develops Doom, Bethesda is the publisher, both of which are owned by ZeniMax, itself owned by Micro$lop under the Xbox division

        Also don’t Bethesda handle Doom, now?

        No, id Software is the developer company, which is owned by Bethesda Softworks. The “Bethesda” that is their in-house development company is called Bethesda Game Studios, they handle franchises like Fallout and TES.
