- Former Obsidian Entertainment writer and developer Chris Avellone has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to talk about a proposal he made to Bethesda while at the studio.
- The proposal was for a spinoff The Elder Scrolls game in the style of Fallout: New Vegas that would "provide more adventures in the setting during the years before the next Bethesda release."
- Avellone says the pitch "didn't gain much traction," mentioning he felt Bethesda wasn't happy with Fallout: New Vegas' reception. The game's very poor technical performance at launch was highlighted specifically.
- Microsoft now has both Obsidian and Bethesda under its wing, so it's possible we could see a spinoff like this come in the future. Avowed, Obsidian's upcoming 2024 Xbox and PC RPG, also looks like it could be the studio's take on The Elder Scrolls.
