Any news/speculation on what exactly Bethesda is working on for the IPhone?

This is the latest that I've seen, and it's from last August.

I dunno, they might never release it just like the PSP TES.

I think that with all their other projects, this one might get scrapped.

Since it's from last August, it probably already has been scrapped.

Well i suppose the Skyrim trademark is going to be used for something......... :rolleyes:

I think it's a safe bet that we'll see an Elder Scrolls or Fallout iphone game in the future. Several of the Bethesda devs are big fans of their iphones and as that old article points out id software has a great interest in the platform as well. Vir2L, who developed most of the Elder Scrolls Travels games, has been working on iphone games so I think its inevitable that they'll revive the Elder Scrolls Travels series for that platform, and maybe others. In fact I think it's quite likely that the iphone game that article is referring to was being developed by Vir2L.

It also seems to me that an Elder Scrolls or Fallout game for the iphone would be most successful if released while people were pumped up about an upcoming game in the series. So if Bethesda announced TES V it wouldn't surprise me to hear about an Elder Scrolls Travels game a few months later. This isn't to say it's a requirement, they're not going to sit on a finished game for twelve months just so they can release it in a certain context, but I could see them adjusting the developement cycle so it coincides in this manner.


True, but the Oblivion PSP developer went belly-up and I doubt Bethesda would look for an external developer for an Elder Scrolls iphone game when they have two sister companies interested in iphone developement.

I'd like to chime in here in support of a TES/FO Iphone game. I recently got one, and I was severely disappointed when I realized Elder Scrolls Travel games where not on the Iphone, I think its a real shame and actually alot of Lost Profit for Bethesda. I really hope they realize it, The Apple Apps store is probaly the premiere mobile platform, its a complete and utter waste not to put these games on there, people WILL buy it. I can promise that. Right now one of the best and most popular games on there is actually alot like TES Travels, called "The Quest" and its one of the most popular and best selling RPGs in the app store, this shows that the market does exist just waiting to get tapped by Bethesda.

If they make a game for the iStore, I'll buy it. The revenue from my purchase alone could fund upwards of four cups of coffee to brainstorm the next project, if they price at the 9.99 price cap.

Oh, good i saw this topic, have been looking for a new game for my iTouch.

I really hope that this will be made someday...

theres a game called The Quest on the app store that is very similar to the old TES games. There is a lite version if you want to try it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0KMay1T5sA
