BattleCry

If you were anticipating Fallout 4 among the string of potential announcements from Bethesda Softworks, then you might have been disappointed to see the announcement of BattleCry. Nonetheless, Bethesda’s VP of Marketing & PR Pete Hines remains flippant about the same. Speaking to GameZone, Hines spoke about how there’s more to Bethesda than just Elder Scrolls and Fallout.

“We’re a company that has seven studios and we’re doing a lot of things that aren’t Bethesda Game Studios or Elder Scrolls or Fallout, and [Battlecry] is yet another. Again, if you’re only looking for something that is Fallout, well, then it doesn’t matter what else we’re doing. I guess you’re not interested.

“I love playing [Battlecry]. We make games that we like to play. We really enjoy every time there’s a playtest for Battlecry. Afterwards, we’re walking around outside our offices and cubes, talking about who did what to whom, and did you see this.”

BattleCry does look intriguing but we are a little bummed that Fallout 4 wasn’t announced. Are you? Let us know in the comments.
