The Elder Scrolls: Arena started it all in March 1994, winning several Game of the Year awards and setting up a new standard for the cRPG genre. Two and a half years later, Bethesda released The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, which surpassed the original in both critical and commercial acclaim. As for Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, the game developed by Splash Damage was originally published by Activision in May 2003. However, its rights passed to Bethesda when the parent company ZeniMax Media acquired id Software back in 2014. Bethesda Game Studios is now developing The Elder Scrolls VI, though it’ll only be released a few years from now as they are focusing on launching Starfield later this year. The future for Wolfenstein is more nebulous, as it’s been nearly four years since current developer MachineGames has hinted at the third installment in the new franchise. The Swedish studio is also now busy with the development of an untitled Indiana Jones game.
