Bethesda Games Leaked Unannounced. New Doom and Dishonoured 3 listed.
A roadmap has been leaked on a court document overnight that shows planned games from Bethesda from 2020 onwards.
Published online overnight, the list on the leaked court document shows what was part of an internal court document from Microsoft in July 2020 which shows their proposal to acquire ZeniMax Media which is Bethesda's parent company. This is an acquisition that was due to be announced two months later.
It seems the list is sourced from a ZeniMax presentation which lists numerous games and DLC for games planned up to the end of the financial year in 2024.
Games such as Ghostwire Tokyo, Starfield, Elder Scrolls 6 and the upcoming Indiana Jones game were listed within the leaked document.
Also seen on the list was Doom Year Zero which is the new Doom game. This game also seems to have plans to release DLC in the year of release as well as following the year of the release as well.
Another title that was seen on the list of games was Dishonoured 3 which has as of yet not been announced. This is a sequel to Ghostwire: Tokyo.
We also see remasters on the list such as Fallout 3 and The Edler Scrolls: Oblivion.
Project Kestrel and Project Platinum are also on the list but we are not sure what these refer to at this time.
We should be fully aware though that it is very likely that the list that has been leaked is more than likely a list that was created before the COVID-19 Pandemic which would have affected the work on AAA games.
The forecast does go up to the year 2024 financial year, we are not quite there yet so it may be that most games listed will be ready and released after this.
Starfield was one game listed as being released by June 2021 and we know now that Starfield did not release until 2023 so that was almost a two-year delay.
It's also wise to understand that even though games were listed as being planned three years ago, plans do change and there could also be some games that may not have survived the list and others could have been cancelled being that this list was created in July 2020.
Either way, it is looking promising for games being released by Bethesda between now and the next few years and I am sure we will have more confirmation soon from Bethesda regarding the leaked list and more details on what we will still be seeing and games that are no longer in the planning.
