Bethesda Set For New Elder Scrolls Title In 2010

Bethesda’s publishing executive indicated to gamesindutries that the new Elder Scrolls title may ship in 2010. As usual it will be released for pc, xbox 360 and ps3. Quote:

At the moment we’ve got Fallout 3 for this year and potentially there’s a new Elder Scrolls title in 2010. At the moment we’re not that interested in the Wii. We’re going to stick to PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. We’ll continue to pursue three or four titles a year and go for big titles.

More Sequels: Dead Space, Army Of Two, Bad Company

So we will have Dead Space 2 (PC, PS3, X360), Army of Two 2 (PS3, X360), Bad Company 2 (PS3, X360). So says EA in an interview with Variety. There are also plans for dead space movies, novels, toys and what not. In  EA Games’s Frank’s words,

Gibeau: If look at the year “Gears of War” shipped the first time, it was one of the best sellers. “Bad Company” has come out and done very well. “Army of Two” sold very well. We’ve got sequel ideas planned for those. I feel pretty good about that mix right now.

It seems that development of the sequel of Dead Space has already started. This announcement is hardly surprising though.
