Based on the award-winning Elder Scrolls series, The Elder Scrolls: Legends is a strategy card game that explores the series’ characters, creatures, deities, and lore. Whether you have 10 minutes or five hours, Legends provides a variety of gameplay modes and challenges that are easy-to-learn but difficult to master. Bethesda announces Next-Gen Versions of Elder Scrolls Online Will be Free to All PS4, Xbox One Owners The Elder Scrolls Online will be released on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, and publisher Bethesda Softworks says players who already own either on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One will be able to upgrade for free.

Back in the day, choose your own adventure type of games were pretty popular. Basically these games came in the form of books, where a scenario would be laid out in front of you, and then you make a decision and flip to the relevant page. If you’re looking to relive some of that nostalgia, you might want to check out what Bethesda has in store for gamers.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Elder Scrolls franchise, Bethesda is giving away the Windows PC version of The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. The offer is valid through Sunday, March 31,. Bethesda has confirmed some bad news about The Elder Scrolls 6. Since its reveal in 2018, Bethesda hasn't said a peep about the game. It's in development, presumably for PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

The company has recently launched a choose your own adventure game on Twitter based on the Elder Scrolls. They have laid out various scenarios and gamers can click on the Twitter links to proceed, where at the end, players can take a screenshot of their completion and submit it to one of 20 digital Elder Scrolls Online packs.

Before you stands Markarth, the City of Stone, with its bustling streets dotted by scenic waterfalls. You're looking for adventure, which is never far away in the Reach.

It should be noted that while you can play this anywhere in the world, the prizes are only for those living in Australia and New Zealand. Also, this seems to be part of Bethesda’s promotion for the Markarth DLC Game Pack for Elder Scrolls Online, so it’s not as if this will be a new Elder Scrolls game you can play in place of the actual one.

It’s actually quite a clever and appropriate marketing strategy, although gamers who want to check out the Elder Scrolls Online will also be pleased to learn that the game is currently free to play until the 9th of December, so you can take it for a spin if you’re curious.

Bethesda Game Studios is an American video game developer and a studio of ZeniMax Media based in Rockville, Maryland. The company was established in 2001 as the spin-off of Bethesda Softworks' development unit, with Bethesda Softworks itself retaining a publishing function. The studio is led by Todd Howard as executive producer and Ashley Cheng as studio director. Bethesda Game Studios operates three satellite studios, one in Montreal and two in Texas, and employs 400 people as of July 2018.

History[edit]

In 2001, ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda Softworks, decided that the two operational units at Bethesda Softworks, development and publishing, should be split apart. Subsequently, Bethesda Softworks retained the publishing, while development staff was moved to the newly established Bethesda Game Studios.[2]

By 2008, Bethesda Game Studios was considered one of the industry’s top developers on the reputation of the Elder Scrolls fantasy universe and the critically acclaimed Fallout 3. Bethesda had created a unique role for itself, “spending years to create massive, open-world, single-player RPGs — hardly a booming genre in the industry at large — to great success, bringing a once-niche PC genre to a broad multiplatform audience,” wrote Gamasutra in their year-end best of list.[3]

On December 9, 2015, ZeniMax Media announced the formation of Bethesda Game Studios Montreal, a new Bethesda Game Studios location in Montreal, Quebec. Led by Yves Lachance, the former head of Behaviour Interactive, the studio was set to broaden the portfolio of games across all gaming platforms.[4]

On March 9, 2018, Austin, Texas-based BattleCry Studios, another ZeniMax Media subsidiary, was rebranded as Bethesda Game Studios Austin.[5]

On August 10, 2018, Escalation Studios was rebranded as Bethesda Game Studios Dallas.[6]

On September 21, 2020, Microsoft announced that it had agreed to acquire ZeniMax for US$7.5 billion, with the deal to close by the second half of 2021.[7]

Subsidiaries[edit]

  • Bethesda Game Studios Montreal in Montreal, Quebec; founded in December 2015.
  • Bethesda Game Studios Austin in Austin, Texas; founded as BattleCry Studios, a subsidiary of ZeniMax, in October 2012, and re-arranged as part of BGS in March 2018.
  • Bethesda Game Studios Dallas in Dallas, Texas; founded as Escalation Studios in 2007, acquired by ZeniMax in February 2017, and re-arranged as part of Bethesda Game Studios in August 2018.

Games developed[edit]

Bethesda Game Studios has principally been involved in the development of role-playing video games with their The Elder Scrolls and Fallout series for consoles and personal computers, most of which have been commercially and critically successful.[8][9]

In 2015, the studio entered into the mobile gaming market with Fallout Shelter based on the same franchise, which gained 50 million players by mid-2016. In February 2017, Howard said that they are in development of another mobile title following onto the success of Fallout Shelter.[10] This was revealed in 2018 to be The Elder Scrolls: Blades.

In 2016, Howard confirmed that while they are developing The Elder Scrolls VI, it was still a long way to the game's release. Meanwhile, two other significant projects are in development which are expected to be released prior to The Elder Scrolls VI.[11] On May 30, 2018, Fallout 76 was announced.[12] On June 10, 2018, during Bethesda's E3 2018 conference, the other project in development was revealed to be the company's first new intellectual property in 25 years, Starfield, which is in production with no specific platform details revealed. Howard revealed that Fallout 76 was Bethesda Game Studios' first online-only role-playing survival game.
