It's not a single developer, it's several developers. Also, Wolfenstein is developed by Raven, which is not owned by ZeniMax. It's even being released by Activision. TES5 hasn't been confirmed, and neither has TES: Online. Fallout 4... Well, we're going to have to choose between TES5, TES:O, and Fallout 4. Bethesda isn't that big - yet, at least. Of course there's Fallout: New Vegas which could possibly be considered Fallout 4, but I think it's not being developed by the Bethesda we're usually talking about. |
Doh!, of course Wolfenstein is being made by Raven (what on earth was I finking? Shame on me.)! But at least id is an advisor/supervisor (usually) of Raven game developing.
(and in the OP news it actually says "Library of powerhouse franchises will include DOOM, Fallout, The Elder Scrolls,
QUAKE, Wolfenstein and RAGE" so I guess I got a lil carried away cuz of that)
It's several of developers, but they're under one flag - Zenimax. Namely Bethesda, Zenimax Online, Splash Damage and id. And at least Bethesda will cooperate with Zenimax Online and Splash Damage, that's already official. (not very much though I would guess)
The Elder Scrolls Online is one the worst kept secrets in the gaming world. Zenimax Online has been making it for two years.
(and Zenimax Online and Bethesda are both seated in the Baltimore metro area, so Im sure Todd Howard will help the new studio a lil)
And Bethesda have stated that they will try to release big budget games on a yearly basis (the Splash Damage games are probably included in that ambition though), so of course they have started making Fallout 4. But Id guess it will take til Fall 2011 before it's out. And The Elder Scrolls 5 release Fall 2010 hopefully.
