The Microsoft-owned company ZeniMax - aka the parent of Bethesda and perhaps best known for its massive multiplayer title The Elder Scrolls Online - reportedly has a new IP in the works that's apparently had a lot of time and money invested in it.
During an appearance on the Product Builders YouTube podcast last month, ZeniMax Online Studios creative director Ben Jones mentioned how the team has been working on a brand-new project for four and a half years.
Jones elaborated on this, explaining how the project had already had a "considerable" amount of investment put into it, and noting how the design team is made up of over 50 people. It seems the full development team stretches to close to 200 people, who are spread across the globe.
No additional details have been shared about this project. Between ZeniMax Online and Bethesda, the most recent games include an expansion for The Elder Scrolls earlier this year, and Todd Howard's highly anticipated release Starfield, which was delayed back in May. It will now be arriving in the first half of 2023.

@Kaloudz as an online game I would agree.
This will probably be a bigger Fallout Shelter specifically designed for mobile gaming and with monetisation to rival Diablo Imortal.... I jest, I jest😁.
@Kaloudz It would make perfect sense for it to be multiplatform, these games thrive on large communities especially with cross play.
I can only hope that this is not any form of MMORPG or Soulslike game at all. Those games are the worst... I want more games that are like Assassins Creed and the Arkham/Gotham Knights games. 3rd person story games.
I honestly hope it's ESO2. I love the first game but it's almost a decade old now and there's so much more they could be doing with it.
@EliJapan that made me giggle snort, thank you!
Can't wait to play it on play... Oh wait lol
I can't wait to find out what this is. I spent quite a bit of time on ESO. Whatever they come up with I'm sure I'll be keen to get stuck in.
