Even more baffling is trying to figure out which Bethesda studio could be developing this unknown licensed IP game. A few possibilities there:
- Secondary id team from the one making Doom Year Zero (id is big enough to have 2 teams, though they may need to co-develop with a 2nd studio on one of the games, like they did when they co-developed Rage 2 with Avalanche)
- Roundhouse, the small Wisconsin studio made up of former original Prey devs
- A smaller team at Tango that was planned to make it while Ghostwire 2 was in development, in much the same way that Ghostwire 1 and HiFi Rush were in development at the same time at Tango
- A 3rd team at Zenimax Online Studios (separate from the ESO DLC and Kestrel teams)
- Arkane Lyon (only if Arkane Austin is making Dishonored 3 instead of Arkane Lyon)
I think we can rule out BGS (between Starfield DLC and TES 6 they will just be too busy), MachineGames (they are busy with Indy and Project Platinum), and Arkane Austin (not a large enough time gap between Redfall and when they had planned to release the licensed IP game on the above timeline, just 3 years between them, modern AAA's take at least 4 years to make)
