Bethesda thought they would have the Oblivion remaster out in 1 year? Looks like FY22 goals were nearly completed aligned with these past 7 months. I'm guessing Doom Eternal had some additional DLC planned but was cancelled? Because Doom "Year Zero" definitely made it out quicker than the other games lol. Kestrel is supposed to be ZOS's new IP, but what was Platinum? |
Yeah, they were definitely padding out there release schedule a bit to entice Microsoft during the acquisition talks, they knew darn well they wouldn't be able to release that many games per year back when they made this roadmap in 2020, even though this roadmap was made pre-Covid (which caused many delays).
Yes, Doom Eternal had a DLC in development that was cancelled. We have no idea what Project Platinum is to this day, was either cancelled or still hasn't been announced. Kestrel is the Zenimax Online new IP they started working on way back in 2018 when they began the slow staff-up of their 2nd studio, hopefully it is progressing nicely and will be announced on this year's summer showcase. The licensed IP game they have on fiscal year 2024 on this roadmap is presumably Marvel's Blade by Arkane Lyon, which means Dishonored 3 from this roadmap definitely isn't releasing anytime soon, if ever, wild they had both on fiscal year 2024, that was never going to happen. And of course Ghostwire Tokyo 2 is dead with Microsoft having closed Tango.
But yeah, in theory the Fallout 3 remaster should still be happening, it was clearly planned and Microsoft surely knows they need to release some Fallout game to tide fans over on the very long wait for Fallout 5, which probably won't release before 2033 or 2034. Especially in the wake of the massive success of the Fallout show, they must have made the Fallout 3 remaster a development priority, they're missing out on huge co-marketing sales with the show right now.
