Before you start screaming click-bait and mouthing of in the comments section, know that this is a genuine question. Just as genuine as when I asked it after Geoff Keighley’s The Game Awards. But in all honesty, will Bethesda announce Fallout 4 at the Game Developers Conference which is scheduled for March?
Look, we all know that The Elder Scrolls Online isn’t going to last. Straight out of the gate it keeled over and ended up as a disappointment, since then it’s been nothing but a salvage operation. While I understand people enjoy it and that a great deal of gamers are happy to invest in it, I see it as something that never should have happened. And so does the majority of the Elder Scrolls and Fallout community.
Is it time to pull back that big heavy curtain and finally say the words we’ve been longing to hear? GDC is a great event to announce something like this at, there would be so many eyes on you that the show would be stolen. Hype-ometers would be of the charts, heads would explode and when the dust settles, we would breath a collective sigh of relief.
GDC chugs ever closer, as does E3, and while it may only be January, there’s so much content coming this year that you’ll blink and it’s time to haul yourself bodily across the show floor to see the latest dubstep montage from Sony and Microsoft.
Come on Bethesda, do what’s right and let us know!
