It was actually known for a while and has supposedly been a thing since 2018, but its great to see more official confirmation from the Lead Graphics Engineer.

Still cant believe their a first party studio. The whole acquisition was super spicy! So good.

 

[Ceadeus]

Cool, can't wait to see what they are creating. Any word about console exclusivity yet?

 

[The Leaked Truths]

Awesome Game Pass will be Ready

 

[Drewpee]

We know its coming to Xbox.

 

[DrScissorsMD]

Probably grasping at straws here but wasn’t there some vague rumour about a seperate multiplayer game for Starfield? Normal Starfield out 2021, Starfield Online 202(2?3?4?) ala Elder Scrolls?

 

[Jigsaah]

New IP. Music to my ears.

Can't wait to play this in...hmmm 2018...9...20.carry the 1....

2024?

 

[Apeopleman]

Microsoft desperately needs more AAA exclusives. If they don’t pump them out, its going to be just like last gen with PS4 curbstomping Xbox one.

ps5 has:

horizon forbidden west
god of war ragnarok
socom (it’s being developed by guerilla)
bloodborne 2 (we all know it’s coming)
Spider-Man miles morales
demons souls

and much more

 

[Warablo]

I hope it isn't some MMO trash.

 

[ZehDon]

Enjoyed TSO on PS4, so I'm keen to see what they do next. Always good to hear about new IPs, too.

yep. meanwhile their first party studio seems not settle down yet especially those recently bought. some of title take years before see the light and we dont even know how it will be compared to sony first party studio that has proven track record of quality game and established ip. microsoft's decision of buying zenimax is bold and good choice to 'fix' the problem that plague them for years. depending on how they steer their big ship now, this could give better position than this gen.

When Bethesda says new game engine don’t they mean Version 2, 3 or 4 of Gamebryo?

lol

 

[Bergoglio]

Like everyone. None build a new engine from zero. They are all iterations.

Zenimax Online Studios(and all other studios under Zenimax Media studios for that matter like id Software) use their own engine which have nothing to do with the one used by Bethesda.

343i made it

 

[BPX]

MS

 

[lekain]

I remember they labelled their in-house forked gamebyro engine "Brand-new", "Creation" or whatever they called

 

[Yumi]

Huh. I wonder if this will be the new engine that elders scrolls and Fallout will also be using? I really hope those two games get a graphics overhaul, and not just an updated version of current engine.

 

[Vasto]

Another one.

 

[Verchod]

It's not called "Slipspace" is it?

 

[30yearsofhurt]

Viva Pinata 5!!!
WooHoo!

 

[Bernkastel]

 

[30yearsofhurt]

Doesn't that imply that they've worked on a AAA game before? I've played ESO. That ain't AAA.

 

[borborygmus]

I can't believe it's not Gamebryo® (or HeroEngine).

 

[Valued Gamer]

So is this studio going to be able to work on games with full campaigns, or are they only going to be doing games like TESO?

 

[Bernkastel]

I can't believe it's not Gamebryo® (or HeroEngine).

ESO was also not made using Creation Engine. Zenimax Online has their own in house tools.

Zenimax Online Studios(and all other studios under Zenimax Media studios for that matter like id Software) use their own engine which have nothing to do with the one used by Bethesda.

 

[borborygmus]

ESO was also not made using Creation Engine. Zenimax Online has their own in house tools.

They did use HeroEngine at one point for ESO. They claimed it was used as a "whiteboard" and that they were building their own client, but it's hard to take their claims of having their own engine seriously since in the past they presented Skyrim's explicitly as "not Gamebryo" and that was plainly untrue.

 

[RoboFu]

MEH, nowdays if it doesnt play like EQ, FF14, or WOW I do not even care. I do not want a action adventure MMO.

 

[AJUMP23]

Starfield 2.

 

[EverydayBeast]

The Evil Within 3.

 

[Bernkastel]

 

[Astorian]

So what do we think, is it an MMO? I’d like more of them and they have experience with one already.

 

[IntentionalPun]

What's funny is I find ESO to be nothing like Skyrim, but Fallout 76 post updates/patches is basically Fallout Online. Hated ESO, really enjoy Fallout 76.

I know ESO is way more successful.. but it is not "Skyrim Online" BECAUSE they didn't use the Bethesda RPG engine used for Fallout/TES.

 

[The_Mike]

So is this studio going to be able to work on games with full campaigns, or are they only going to be doing games like TESO?

Tes 6 has been announced

 

[Astorian]

Tes 6 has been announced

Why would Zenimax Online work on that?

 

[The_Mike]

Why would Zenimax Online work on that?

Thought we talked about Bethesda in general.

Why would zenimax make a Tes?

 

[Astorian]

Thought we talked about Bethesda in general.

Well, the post you quoted said “this studio” in this case Zenimax Online.

Why would zenimax make a Tes?

What do you mean? They already made ESO.

 

[Bernkastel]

A bunch of people joined Zenimax Online Studios

 

[Bernkastel]

 

[Magog.]

I don't have time for MMOs and don't care for the gameplay loop either.

 

[Bernkastel]

Then why are you posting here?

 

[JackMcGunns]

lol

You mean Unreal Engine 5 is just version 5 of Unreal Engine?

 

[Bernkastel]

 

[Gonpachiro Kamaboko]

I wonder if it will have shooting in it

Being optimistic I see.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

One thing incredible after the acquisition is how fast the studios are expanding.

 

[Bernkastel]

36:11 and 38:17

And unlike the others who came later, we were built from the ground up with a specific goal of creating massive online games, the first of which was to be set in the Elder Scrolls world.
...
It wasn't always pretty and it definitely wasn't easy, but through it all, his belief in us and the promise of what we could deliver made us who we are today, and that extends to our future titles already in development. Everyone at ZOS is looking forward to being part of the Xbox family.
