Possible Next-Gen Elder Scrolls Under Way?
It looks as though another high-profile developer has publicly joined the expanding roster of next-generation developers today. Bethesda Softworks, makers of the award-winning Elder Scrolls series of role-playing games, circulated an e-mail asking for new members for a "team that is pushing the bleeding-edge of RPG development for the PC and future-generation consoles." Specifically, Bethesda is hiring for three positions --two game programmers and a world artist--in or near its Maryland headquarters. Besides asking for the usual skills associated with such positions, two of the three positions also mention that "knowledge of Role Playing games and The Elder Scrolls [is] a plus." But while the listings offer some tantalizing clues, a next-gen Elder Scrolls has still not been officially announced. Bethesda did not respond to queries asking if the next-gen title mentioned will be a sequel to The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, the only game in the franchise released on a console as well as the PC. Bethesda also did not respond to inquires about which consoles the game would be released on.Source: http://www.gamespot.com
