Bethesda might release an Oblivion, Fallout 3 remaster

As revealed in a Microsoft document

Published

on

Based solely on the launch of Starfield, you might have figured out that Microsoft owns ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda. After all, the highly anticipated sci-fi game isn’t out on the PlayStation. Because of the relationship between the two companies, Microsoft knows quite a bit about the what’s coming soon from Bethesda and ZeniMax’s other properties. Now, a new document reveals just what the company was planning back in 2020.

Today, the ongoing proceedings between Microsoft and the FTC have sparked an oncoming wave of internal documents revealing the inner workings of the company. A few of those documents concern acquisitions. Microsoft acquired ZeniMax Media in 2021, so the former’s documents regarding that acquisition are part of the wave.

In the newly released document (via The Verge), Microsoft had access to ZeniMax Media’s plans back in 2020, prior to acquiring the latter. The document reveals some planned games that neither Microsoft nor ZeniMax have announced yet.

The plans include an Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remaster (planned for 2022), a Fallout 3 remaster (2024), Dishonored 3 (2024), Doom Year Zero (2023), and an Indiana Jones game (2022).

By now, it’s apparent that these plans didn’t push through to the letter. In fact, none of these titles are out. It’s probable that plans changed when Microsoft acquired ZeniMax. These unannounced titles were either delayed or canned outright.
