UPDATE: Bethesda VP Peter Hines took to twitter to clear up any rumors that may have been sparked by Bethesda's official website.
So apparently, the listing was just due to a bug, and it isn't anything to get excited about. Well, at least we have Fallout 4 to look forward to. (maybe, probably, hopefully, please)
ORIGINAL STORY
A listing on Bethesda's official website may have sparked some speculation on wether the fifth game in The Elder Scrolls franchise is coming to next gen consoles.
It could be that Bethesda is going through all of their options to prepare for the potentially and seemingly imminent disastrous launch of The Elder Scrolls Online because of early fan speculation and an article from a Forbes blog that has predicted The Elder Scrolls Online to be the biggest flop of 2014, reporting that the game has already amassed a budget of over $200mil and people expressing their general disinterest in the game and its $15 a month subscription fee.
If this is true this would mark the second big name game getting a next gen makeover, with Tomb Raider Definitive Edition getting a next gen upgrade with better graphics and DLC included. This move, if it pays off for Bethesda, could pave the way for other big franchises to make the upgrade to next gen consoles, such as the highly rumored Grand Theft Auto V.
What do you think? Is this a good move on Bethesda's part? Are they just trying to cover themselves in the case of a huge failure with TES:O? Would you like to see other companies follow suit? Let us know in the comments below.
