Update<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looks like we got punked. After receiving a tip from a reader earlier, we were lead to an article on Planetelderscrolls<\/a>. The post seemed legit, and there was no indication that it was a prank. We just realised thanks to another observant reader that the original source article was posted on April 1.<\/p>\n

Original<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a press event held in London today, Bethesda announced<\/a> a new entrant to its wildly popular fantasy RPG series. <\/p>\n

Here is what we know so far:<\/p>\n

– The game will be released next year for PS3, 360, PC, Wii and iPhone<\/p>\n

– It is not a direct sequel to Oblivion <\/p>\n

– The game will be an RPG, and will be “the same type of game” as The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion<\/p>\n

– Bethesda will not be developing the game using its own in house team. Instead, indie developer Armor Games will be creating the new game. <\/p>\n

– The game’s working subtitle is “Alinor”<\/p>\n

– The game will bring “ fast-paced, easy-to-grasp action” to the series<\/p>\n

– Although no game engine was specified, a Bethesda representative said we can “make educated guesses.”<\/p>\n

– Rumours indicate that The Rock and Christian Bale will be doing voice work for the game.<\/p>\n

That’s it for now, although Bethesda said that they will show more when they are ready, so watch this space. <\/p>\n

Thanks for the tip Maplassie<\/em><\/p>\n
