Expect a Major Surprise or Major Disappointment
Not long after becoming a legendary studio, Bethesda became a master of secrets. Before E3 2017, rumors started circulating about a new game to be revealed. Yet when the expo came, nothing turned up. Surprisingly, it looks like the studio still has a new release due this year.
Revealing the news at PAX West, Bethesda Vice President Pete Hines told Tek Syndicate that a new game is coming out this year. He wouldn’t say more beyond that. Considering how much time is left in the year, however, it would be a shock if we didn’t see an announcement soon.
“Yea…we have nine games hands-on here, all of which are coming out this year or are already out,” said Pete Hines. “We have three VR titles, including Skyrim for PSVR; we’ve got Skyrim Switch. We’ve got Wolfenstein 2 and Evil Within 2 and Quake Champions free-to-play and Elder Scrolls Legends free-to-play; Elder Scrolls Online and Dishonored. We have a ton of stuff going on. And we even have a game coming out this year that we haven’t even told anybody about.”
A recent rumor suggested Bethesda’s new project would be an open world Game of Thrones title. As you can imagine, its seems like a world that would fit the studio’s forte. Before this year’s E3, rumors suggested they were working on a science fiction IP called Starfield. However, any and all rumors will probably be put to rest soon.
