DICE is happening this week out in Las Vegas and in between cocktails and slot machines a lot of talks and panels happen. Todd Howard, notable designer, director, and producer for Bethesda, was asked as a part of one of these panels what Bethesda would be doing next now that Fallout 4 has released. Howard confirmed continued support for Fallout 4 but also mentioned three more, “long-term”, projects are in the works.
“We have three longer-term projects we’re doing that are all…we’ll talk about them at a much 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.”
Howard didn’t go into much more detail than that despite bringing up the newly established Bethesda Montreal studio. It’s probably a good bet that at least one of these projects is another Elder Scrolls game considering how well Skyrim did for them. But the idea of a new IP, in the Bethesda style, is pretty exciting. I may have had some issues with Fallout 4 but there’s no denying Bethesda makes unique and amazing games.
