Todd Howard de game director van Elder Scrolls, Fallout en de aankomende sci fi RPG Starfield werd geïnterviewd gamesindustry.biz.
Howard heeft gereageerd op de mogelijkheid dat Elder Scrolls exclusief kan gaan verschijnen op de Xbox-consoles.
Bethesda werd afgelopen maand overgenomen door Microsoft voor een enorme bedrag van 7.5 miljard dollar.
“We do view it, and always have by ourselves, on a case-by-case basis,” he said. “We’ll do that as part of Microsoft as well. They’ve been pretty open on other platforms and not just within Xbox. This is an outside perspective, but if you go back ten years at Microsoft, you wouldn’t expect them to have a full Office suite on an iPhone either.
“I can’t really project where things will be except to say we’ve done those sort of exercises ourselves as an independent. If you look at every Elder Scrolls game, there has been some exclusivity on Xbox or with Microsoft. We’ve partnered with every game. Morrowind was basically a console exclusive, Oblivion was a long timed exclusive, Skyrim’s DLC was exclusive for a long period of time.
“We’ll decide what makes the best sense for our audience when the time comes, and I can’t really project today what that looks like.”
