Bethesda

Last week, Bethesda accidentally teased their fanbase with the unveiling of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One edition of Skyrim. The community went mad, some wondering why it was a necessary addition to new generation machines, others excited to once again explore a now refreshed, graphically improved land. Unfortunately, it isn't going to happen.

An anonymous tipster sent in the documents to Kotaku a couple of weeks ago, most of them supposedly used for a casting-call project called "Institute". The word Fallout is never mentioned in any of the papers, but the dialogue contains the requisite Fallout phrase, "War. War never changes", and the casting director has worked on other Bethesda properties, including Skyrim.

In a case of stuck between a rock and a hard place, Bethesda's latest trailer for The Elder Scrolls Online, released to YouTube today, has been attacked by both fans of MMOs and fans of The Elder Scrolls.

Bethesda has today announced the release date for The Elder Scrolls Online. The fantasy MMO was supposed to be released earlier this year, but was delayed around the same time that next-gen versions of each were announced at E3.

The "Fallout" teaser site has been updated with a countdown... and although the site seems to have been registered by Zenimax, and although everything seems to be pointing at a next gen Wasteland adventure, it might be prudent to lower the bar of excitement, just in case.

There's been something of a mini-controversy on Steam this last weekend. Fallout 3 has been on sale and it seems to have sold so many copies that Steam actually ran out of keys so that people could actually play their game. As of writing it still seems people are getting error messages and are unable to access their new purchase. Of course, Fallout 3 is still available to buy.
