So what is Bethesda doing in 2018?

[Legitmcfalls]

So something just clicked in my head. Bethesda has no new tentpole single player game announced for 2018.

All we know for 2018 is Fallout 4 vr, Doom vr, Wolfenstein 2 switch port and maybe Quake Champions. Not a bad lineup but not what we should expect from Bethesda.

This year we got Prey in May and The Evil Within 2 and Wolfenstein 2 in October.

In 2016 we got Dishonored 2, Skyrim Remastered and Doom.

In 2014 we got Wolfenstein, Elder Scrolls Online and The Evil Within.

But in 2015 we were in a similar spot. We got dlc for Wolfenstein, ESO got ported to consoles, and Dishonored got a next gen port but we also got Fallout 4.

So what do you think Era? What do you think/want Bethesda to release next year?

 

[AgentStrange]

Hopefully getting a new marketing team. Prey and TEW2 deserved better.

Ohter than that pretty much you said. Quake Champions, Wolf for Switch and who knows what else.

 

[Plasma]

Fallout 4 VR and DOOM VR are coming out this December.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Its time for Starfield

 

[xenocide]

How is Fallout 4 not a bigger deal than DLC and 2 ports. That was their big release for 2015--and a pretty widely talked about and covered release in general.

 

[jesu]

That new IP, with a reveal then pretty quick release.

 

[Scrobbles]

Gonna guess Starfield

 

[Oregano]

I'm sure there's some new device to release Skyrim on.

 

[AAMARMO]

Here are my E3 predictions for Bethesda:

 

[Xer0]

Unless Wolfenstein sells, probably making a bunch of multiplayer games.

 

[Heckler456]

Man, I would kill for a Fallout 4 spin-off frankly.

 

[sxiebonjour]

They are still not talking TES VI.....

 

[Skeeter49]

They're riding the release and reveal the same year train. Expect more of that. 2 AAA, one DLC campaign for Wolfenstein is my guess.

 

[Zedark]

Maybe Bethesda Game Studios has its next project ready? It'll have been 3 years since Fallout 4 by then.

 

[DeltaCanuckian]

Hopefully getting a new marketing team. Prey and TEW2 deserved better.

God, I hope so. Add Dishonored II to the list of games sent to die as well.

Plus, I'm playing through Prey right now and it's fantastic. It'd be in GOTY discussions if people actually knew about it.

 

[shimon]

Probably the new IP announcement + possibly release?

Also this hopefully:

Hoping a Doom sequel is ready to go by the end of the year some time but it's still probably too early for that. Other than announcing what the studio bethesda is doing (which will be uninteresting because anything they make will likely be the worst RPG around), I can't see anything else being ready from any of their studios. Maybe evil within or prey DLC if we're lucky but considering how they both sold....I wouldn't bet on that.

edit: Obviously there will be wolf 2 DLC as well.

 

[jacks81x]

Wolf 2 single-player expansion next Fall.

Maybe an Elder Scrolls mobile game? IIRC they started a new mobile studio a year or two ago.

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

I would hope they finally show BGS's new game because it's about time they did and hopefully release in the same year as well, Fallout 4 style.

They have two big new IP coming before they will even talk about a new TES, and they take their time with their games. Gonna be a long time before we get one.

 

[xenocide]

Wolf 2 single-player expansion next Fall.

Maybe an Elder Scrolls mobile game? IIRC they started a new mobile studio a year or two ago.

Click to shrink...

They have the Elder Scrolls card game (Legends?) for mobile coming out already.

 

[Zedark]

They are still not talking TES VI.....

Click to shrink...

... And won't be for many years, considering Todd said TESVI is not possible on current gen and that they have 2 other big projects releasing first :(

 

[Rigby]

Starfield and hopefully TES6 reveal

 

[AgentStrange]

Wolf 2 single-player expansion next Fall.

Maybe an Elder Scrolls mobile game? IIRC they started a new mobile studio a year or two ago.

*ahem*

Maybe tho

 

[BoTalksGames]

Obsidian Fallout?

 

[aerozombie]

Unless next year is going to be very slow for Bethesda due to long development cycles catching up on them, my guess is Todd Howard announces and launches an RPG in late 2018.

 

[Smurf]

That GoT game?

 

[EndlessNever]

Well, what studios do Bethesda have that haven't released anything recently? I doubt anything from Todd's studio is ready to be released next year.

 

[Elliott]

New IP will probably have a condensed announce to release cycle similar to Bethesda's recent releases. Guess we'll know at e3.

 

[Xumbrega]

new IP hopefully

 

[Derrick01]

Obsidian Fallout?

Trump winning confirmed we're in the worst timeline so this is definitely not going to happen again.

Spoiler

I would love to be wrong and have this comment thrown in my face

 

[AuthenticM]

They need to start talking about their new RPG IP. I admire their will to only reveal games half a year before their release, but since this game in particular is a new IP, they need a very long marketing cycle for it if they want it to sell as much as Elder Scrolls.

CD Projekt Red revealed Cyberpunk 2077 almost four years ago, and honestly I think it was the right move. Anticipation is building. Bethesda needs to do that with their new IP.

 

[Legitmcfalls]

Can Arkane make a game in less than 2 years?

Tango just released The Evil Within 2.

Same for Machine Games and Wolf2.

If its not Todds game then it may be Doom 2 but that still leaves the year rather empty compared to the usual Bethesda years.

 

[Bdub79]

My vote goes to a new IP. As jank as their games are I can't help but sit and play the hell out of them.

 

[Bandage]

Porting everything they've ever made to Switch.

And Skyrim 2.

 

[Yukinari]

Todd Howard will sell Skyrim in 2018 and beyond until every last human owns a copy

 

[Timelost]

Hoping for a BGS game, but wouldn't be surprised if they hold off until 2019.

 

[Ghrellin]

Hopefully they've ditched the Creation Engine, and working on a new one for next-gen..motion capture should be high on their developmental game plan - can the "canned animations" once and for all.

 

[Ferrasvansen]

I think they will do what they did before, a Fallout spinoff before getting stuck into Elder Scrolls 6 on next gen.

 

[Deleted member 224]

Starfield and hopefully TES6 reveal

Click to shrink...

That's not going to be for at least 3 or 4 more years

 

[Dandy]

I just want TES VI... But know it won't be next year. Or the year after that. Or the year after that... etc.

 

[Surface of Me]

They're banking on phones/tablets being able to run Skyrim next year so you can buy it yet again.

 

[Legitmcfalls]

Maybe the rumor that Bethesda is making Metroid Prime 4 is true and that is their big fall game

 

[Salty Rice]

The gonna port Skyrim to iOS and Android.


Despite that maybe also Starfield.

 

[Blam]

Switch stuff. I feel like they'll try to move more there.

 

[texhnolyze]

The Elder Scrolls VI. It's gotta be.

 

[AuthenticM]

Maybe the rumor that Bethesda is making Metroid Prime 4 is true and that is their big fall game

Click to shrink...

There was never any weight to that rumor.

 

[Trago]

Starfield I think.

 

[Hitokiri03]

I expect a new DOOM besides that I have no idea.

 

[jacks81x]

They have the Elder Scrolls card game (Legends?) for mobile coming out already.

Click to shrink...

Ah totally forgot about that! Is that being developed by their new Montreal studio?

 

[Yoshichan]

Did Bethesda ever release Skyrim on the Blackberry? I think that's next on their agenda.
