Skyrim team moving on to next project

Bethesda says it will release only "minor" updates for latest Elder Scrolls game as studio enters full production on new project.

[UPDATE] Following the publication of this story, a Bethesda representative confirmed with GameSpot that no new downloadable content for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is in the works.

"No, there will be no other DLC," the company said.

The original story follows below

Bethesda Game Studios is moving on from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, itsaward-winning 2011 role-playing game. In a blog post today, the developer said its next project is now at the point where it requires the studio's full attention, though the outfit promised it will continue to support Skyrim.

 

"Even though we're moving on, we'll still have minor updates to Skyrim as needed," the developer said. "We've invested so much of ourselves into Skyrim and will never truly say goodbye to it."

Since shipping Skyrim in November 2011, Bethesda has released three downloadable content expansions for the game (DawnguardHearthfire, andDragonborn) as well as Kinect support for the Xbox 360 version and the Creation Kit for the PC version.

No official details regarding Bethesda Game Studios' next project have been divulged, though a past report suggests a Boston-set Fallout 4 is in the works. In addition, Bethesda parent company Zenimax Media this month trademarked a new game called "Starfield," though the publisher has declined to comment on what this may be.

Bethesda said last week that it would make "considerably more noise" in 2013.

Been craving a new fallout game for a while, can't wait to see what they bring to the table.



This new is probably Fallout 4 for next gen consoles.

But if it is a new TES game, I just hope it's more like Morrowind and less like Skyrim.



Fallout 4

Wouldn't mind see a Elder Scrolls from Obsidian one of these days. (Spin off like New Vegas)



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords 

Shouldn't they have moved onto that project a long time ago?

A next-gen Fallout would be amazing!

I am pretty sure a majority of the team moved on long ago. 

Just wish Zenimax would expand Bethesda so we could get a quicker cycle between the Elder Scrolls and fallout. A new project WRPG would also be a pleasure.

Thanks for coming in the tread just to shit on it. Stick to games you play.



Did they finally finish patching the game?

Oops... It looks like I took an after dump.  I'll quietly exit now.  Sorry about that smell.
