Will future Bethesda games still be released on PlayStation platforms? We know that existing contracts for Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo will be honored, while games based on services like The Elder Scrolls Online and Fallout 76 will continue to be supported – but what about after that? It’s been a ‘they go, don’t they?’ Bigger than Donna and Ringo, with Microsoft giving mixed messages since the announcement of the acquisition of the organization.
Everything can finally be cleared up in the next month – at least, according to the Games Beat scribe who became an industry prophet, Jeff Grubb. Speaking as part of a podcast, the crystal ball gazer hinted that Team in Green may be planning some kind of “event” to fix their plans for the publisher: “I don’t know if it will be a complete, straightforward style event , but they will take notes about it and talk about [the Bethesda acquisition] extensively explain what it means for everyone and talk about the immediate future of both companies becoming one. “
According to Grubb, all of this is scheduled to happen in “mid-March” and should represent the cornerstone of Microsoft’s marketing efforts this year. It makes sense, since the $ 7.5 billion purchase of Bethesda by the Redmond giant is planned to be settled next month, which will give you control of the publisher and the freedom to speak more explicitly about your short and long term plans. long term.
