Bethesda’s executive producer Todd Howard has said in an interview today that the company’s next game will be released for the current generation of consoles, and that the game development is, “pretty far along.”
Howard noted that, “when you first hear about [the next Bethesda title] to when it’s out will be the shortest it’s been for us. It’s pretty far along. When we show it, we want to show a lot, because there’s a lot of game there to play right now.”
Also mentioned was that the game has made an even bigger leap from Fallout 3 than Fallout 3 did from Oblivion. “Fallout 3 technically does a lot more than Oblivion. The new stuff is an even bigger jump from that,” he said. “I can say it is on the existing platforms, which we’re really happy with. You almost feel like you have a new console when you see the game.”
Lastly, the executive producer has said that Bethesda are even working on the game after this unannounced one: “we’re in production on the new game, and we have a design going for the one after that.”
I’ve been getting back into Oblivion lately, and so I am wholeheartedly crossing my fingers for a new Elder Scrolls game.
