https://twitter.com/#!/Bethblog/status/191905149365653507 . I'm sure I'm not the only one here following them, but I did not expect such thing. Something's big coming tomorrow, not sure if it's Fallout related, but it MAY be, so speculate.. A new game announcement? DLC?

What's this photo-->http://yfrog.com/odtyxcurj?

He looks like a Nord so it is likely Skyrim DLC but you never know.

Rage DLC or Fallout 4 announcement would be my guess (the latter is unlikely, but since he doesn't look like a nord to me, that's the only other option I can think of.)

He looks like a person living in a wasteland though. Skryim DLC is possible, but I'm so hyped for the next Fallout, that I really hope they will announce it tomorrow.

I'd love it to be Fallout related and I could quite easily fool myself into thinking so, but my better judgement tells me it must be Skyrim DLC related.

It will be a Skyrim DLC.

Fallout 4 would be announced at some big event like E3 or something.

Right now Beth is riding high on the Skyrim waves..
It has been nearly 6 months so, in the current day and age.. DLC should be expected... Since we haven't seen anything yet I will have to guess it will probably be DLC for Skyrim..
We can always hope (or fear) for a FO announcement.. though it is highly unlikely they will

A few sidenotes though.. If it is skyrim DLC the NPC is too detailed (they did this before with Skyrim screens so I wouldn't rule it out)
The screenshot doesn't fit Rage...and that title was not really a Huge title..

All in all it still could be FO, but I have a feeling it is to soon.. (marketing wise they still have to bleed dry skyrim)

Edit:
Like Styles added Beth, unlike for example Rockstar, has a tendency to use large conventions and expo's to announce titles.

Bethesda already said there's RAGE and Skyrim announcements this month.

BGS pojects typically gets announced about half-way finished or so. Skyrim was announced through the Spike VGA's so that was fairly hig profile.

Any Fallout announcements are years away. Most should know this by the track records extending to the late 80s, although if you want to be technical, since 94' and Arena.

Unless BGS hired a side studio to do it, expanded the team by thousands, or made the tiniest RPG ever don't expect it anytime soon.

Especially since we know it's for next-gen consoles/Then PC hardware.


Also bleed dry Skyrim how? DLC is standard by now, even by our most favored RPG makers. BGS is attempting this time to go the expansion-esque route. Bethesda's never been Ubisoft or EA. And being a private studio under a private company, I don't expect so anytime soon.

I have no idea why, but looking at that picture, gladiator theme springs in mind. And there wasn't any big arena like quest chain in Skyrim, so it is a possible, and awesome idea for a DLC. But I still want fallout more...

Looking at the teaser pic, draws me to possibly Dishonored related news.

I meant it as figure of speech, it was not an opinion about how BGS operates...
What I meant was:
It is highly improbable to announce a new AAA title while they are still not finished with their latest project..
So it was just, maybe a poorly worded allegory..

I can't help but think itll be about skyrim, rather than a new fallout game.

Correct and I gotcha. Yeah, with the recent turmoil over that area I just wanted to paint the entire picture because in my opinion Oblivion early DLC aside they haven't stooped to the depths that consumers are backlashing against public publisher powerhouses for currently.

And with Skyrim's success BGS's recently been auto-listed with the bunch despite no track record of such.

And as you said

While a portion of the team is on preproduction on the next project(Hypothetical Fallout 4. This would of begun after Fallout 3's launch, just as Skyrim's did after Oblivion, Morrowind's after Daggerfall, etc.)

Core people are working on DLC, in their words apparently trying to add mechanics to the world and other things more than the direct focus of "swamp tons of land space for DLC with the illusion of content."

But the giveaway there for others who think this might be FO4 is that the core team still is on Skyrim and the next project, Fallout 4/TES: Side Story/TES VI/One of Zenimax's IPs/Brand New Game and IP, is still in the "Idea/Brainstorming/Concept Art" stage and probably not with any tech demo either.

Furthermore there's the new job postings and them having to guess new console specs. Though I suspect Microsoft and Sony might give a better heads up.

With Oblivion they had to scale back the tech. I figure they thought more RAM would be in play. I'm impressed with how they crafted the Creation Kit and optimized it for the 360 and fairly well for PC.

All signs point to: Many Years Away. Figure it'll be a Microsoft Next Console Launch Title/Near Launch ala Morrowind for Xbox and Oblivion for 360.

If I had to put my money on anything, I would go with Skyrim DLC. Why would it be Dishonored as they already have info out on this...A DLC is unheard of, until 'Tomorrow'

It's been a little bit over six months since Skyrim was released, so I'd say it's probably a Skyrim DLC announcement.

This, which I am happy and sad about since I want it but have no money.

Didn't they say awhile back that something big was going to be announced for Skyrim in April?

So yeah, probably a Skyrim DLC like others suggested.
