Microsoft court documents show plans to remaster The Elder Scrolls4: Oblivion and Fallout 3, as well as other unannounced games like a new Doom game, Dishonored3, and more.
According to The Verge reporter Tom Warren, who shared a tweet today, «A massive amount of highly confidential and unredacted Microsoft docs have leaked as part of the FTC v. Microsoft case. They were attached to a single file and incorrectly hidden and posted publicly. A huge error that has led to a giant leak. More to come.»
As reported by The Verge, the leaked documents revealed during the FTC v. Microsoft court case — which were shared with Resetera — show that before Zenimax Media — parent company to Bethesda and iD Software — was acquired by Microsoft, it was working on remasters of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, Fallout 3, and a new Doom game.
The Oblivion Remaster was originally set for a 2022 release, the Fallout 3 remaster for 2024, the new Doom entry dubbed Doom Year Zero and its DLC for 2023, as well as the second set of DLC (fiscal year 2024).
The games were featured in a Microsoft presentation about the original proposal to acquire ZeniMax in July 2020 and included other unannounced games such as a Ghostwire: Tokyo sequel and Dishonored 3, both for a 2024 launch.
Additionally, there are some projects that are mentioned for console and PC that don't have determined names, including two unnamed projects called "Platinum" and "Kestrel" for 2023 plans, the latter of which has an expansion set for 2024. There's also a short mention of the previously announced Indiana Jones game which was originally set for a 2022 release, as well as a «licensed IP game» that doesn't have a name.
Yesterday, on September 18, the first of the court documents leaked, which provided even more details on other upcoming games, such as The Elder Scrolls 6, which is expected to be released sometime during or after 2026.

Kitfox and Bay12 have struck the earth, manufactured a thousand stone blocks, and laid out a roadmap for the Dwarf Fortress Steam edition's Adventure Mode, together with some forthcoming updates for the existing fortress management mode. Adventure Mode, in case you've been living under a rock (which I guess you probably have, if you've been playing Dwarf Fortress), is the open world roguelike RPG element of the game, which lets you roam the enormous realm you've generated and even tour/loot/disturb the unquiet spirits of your own, abandoned fortress. Alas, there's no word on a release date for the Steam edition's Adventure Mode beyond "not this year".
Back in the good old days of Bethesda RPGs (and I'm talking about Oblivion, Skyrim, and the Fallout games) when you killed a fool you could loot them of all their stuff. And I mean everything! Not just weapons and cash, but outfits, pieces of armor, helmets, hats, and dignity. When you looted a dead enemy in those games, you left behind nothing but a corpse in its underwear.
After laying off almost 900 employees, Epic Games has announced an expansion to the Fortnite V-Buck «pricing alignment», citing vague financial factors like «inflation and currency fluctuations». The price of Fortnite's premium currency is set to rise in various international markets, including the world's largest.
Cyberpunk 2077 just launched its first and only DLC, Phantom Liberty, alongside the major 2.0 update. Many fans claim that the update and expansion have ironed out most of the game's long-standing problems, fulfilling old promises after years of waiting. Our own reviewer Andrew King says that it finally made the game "worth the trip". However, according to CD Projekt Red, these are the last major updates, meaning that the Cyberpunk 2077 we have today is the final version.
Polish indie studio The Astronauts launched Witchfire in early access last week via the Epic Games Store. It's the developer's second game following The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, and it's a completely different genre (rogue-lite dark fantasy first-person shooter) compared to that game.
Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer considered buying Nintendo at one point, a leaked 2020 email revealed. Multiple documents from Microsoft's trial with the US FTC were leaked Tuesday, with one showing a casual discussion about buying the Mario maker, where Spencer called it a “career moment” and implied that a collaboration would be a ‘good move' for either company. It's worth highlighting that this conversation happened in August 2020, before Microsoft acquired Bethesda's parent company ZeniMax Media for $7.5 billion (about Rs. 62,431 crore). The leaks also disclosed Bethesda's release schedule, alongside details for Microsoft's planned mid-generation console refresh.
The court documents from Microsoft’s FTC case are the gift that just keeps giving, although in this instance it seems someone released a document they should have not, as it’s been removed the US courts website.

According to leaked documents, Microsoft are/were remastering Oblivion and Fallout 3. This is boring. The past decade of innumerable remasters has been boring enough, but remastering these two games is particularly boring. When even bother when all Bethesda have made since Oblivion is Oblivion remakes with added spacesuits or yelling? Boring. But while I think the torrent of remasters is a miserable sign of big publishers just giving up, if they're going to do it anyway: why not Morrowind?
In what may be one of the most notable bombshells of the year, documents from the US Federal Trade Commission’s case with Microsoft seem to have leaked Zenimax Media’s upcoming game release schedule. Notable examples include Fallout 3 remastered, TES 4: Oblivion remastered, and Dishonored 3.
Looks like we're getting another foodie crossover in Final Fantasy 14. Yesterday, the Twitter/X account for KFC Japan posted a short, ominous video of the Colonel overlooking the cliffs of La Noscea with the caption (courtesy of Google translate): «Colonel Sanders is steadily preparing for a new adventure in another world…»
