Could this be for a new Fallout sequel? Maybe a new entry in the Elder Scrolls franchise or a completely new franchise? Your guess is as good as mine at this point. Just for reference, Bethesda's last retail game was Arkane Studio's Dishonored, which was critically-acclaimed for its varied take on the first-person action genre.
In more current Bethesda news, the studio has now announced the release dates for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's PS3 DLCs. Let's just hope the expansions won't be as buggy as the vanilla game is on Sony's platform.
If it was up to you, what franchise should Bethesda work on for their initial next-gen game?
