The Next Title in Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls Series, Should Arrive in 2010

According to GameIndustry.biz, Paul Oughton, Bethesda’s publishing executive has been briefly discussing the companies plans in general, as well as indicating that the next Elder Scrolls title should be with us sometime in 2010. It was also interesting to note that despite Nintendo’s success with it’s home and handheld consoles, Bethesda had no interest in releasing their games on other platforms.

---

At the moment we’ve got Fallout 3 for this year and potentially there’s a new Elder Scrolls title in 2010… [and] 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.
