Zenimax launches MMO division
ONE OF THE most annoying things in the world is a tantalising press release that says almost nothing, but leaves you wanting to know more. Zenimax managed this feat at the Games Developers Conference here in Austin when it announced its new MMO division, cunningly called Zenimax Online.
The new studio, owned by the same company that owns Bethesda Softworks, is going to make an online game, an MMO at that. Who would have thought? What kind of game? Is it Oblivion based? Fallout? Star Trek: Legacy? Please not that one, please don't go there, but the first two would be quite nice.
In order to find out, we went to the Zenimax booth, and found several people who ranked fairly highly in the new arm. To our delight, they were happy to talk about the new organisation, helpfully telling us that it was a new division, we had the name right, and they were working on an MMO. It was also deemed to be 'big'.
Damn them for being so open. To take revenge, we swiped an extra Pip-Boy lapel pin. To sum it up, they have a new studio, and it is working on an MMO that is 'big'.
What more information do you really need? µ

The new MMO for the masses, in which you sling potatoes at your friends! Notmal white ones are annoying, green potatoes have added fur, Blue ones are gooey and stick, and Shiny Shiny Purples Explode!
When Interplay sold the Fallout IP to Bethesda, they sold off all rights to sequels and such, so Bethesda have Fallout 4 and 5 in the plans already - but they retained the right to a Fallout MMO. That's not to say that Bethesda can't do one too but I find it unlikely that they'd do it given this.
