Xbox - Bethesda: Who they are and what the 8 new Xbox Game Studios do

Today, in one fell swoop, Xbox Game Studios has been enriched with 8 new and talented studios,going from 15 to 23. Undoubtedly an impressive number, but who are the new studios, what have they done and what will they do? Some are well known to everyone, while others are less so. We'll list them below.

  • Bethesda Game Studios - Todd Howard's house needs no introduction: they are the authors of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout,currently working on The Elder Scrolls VI and the new sci-fi RPG Starfield. They're the kings of RPGs themselves.
  • id Software - another historical study: the creators of Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, Quake and, more recently, Rage,but especially the authors of the excellent engine id Tech,now now in its seventh version. id Software is synonymous with FPS. It is not known what they are currently working on, but they certainly do not sit with their hands in their hands!
  • Arkane Studios - founded relatively more recently, the French Arkane are best known for the excellent Dishonored and for the recent reboot of Prey. I'm currently working on the exclusive PS5 Deathlooptime, which looks like a kind of Dishonored evolution with the addition of temporal mechanics. According to some job advertisements, the studio is also working on at least one new project that has not yet been announced.
  • Tango Gameworks - the only Japanese studio in the group, something Xbox definitely needed. Founded by Resident Evil and Dino Crisis creator Shinji Mikami,the studio is known for the horror series The Evil Within and is now working on the fascinating paranormal thriller Ghostwire: Tokyo,in exclusive PS5 timeframe.
  • MachineGames - authors of the excellent Wolfenstein reboot saga(The New Order, The Old Blood, The New Colossus),is not known what they are currently working on.
  • ZeniMax Online Studios - are the group's MMO specialists, authors of the long-running series The Elder Scrolls Online. Currently they continue to support and evolve the online world of TESO, doing a great job of always providing new and interesting content to players.
  • Roundhouse Studios - formerly known as Human Head Studios, have made the first Prey of 2006 and the various titles of the Runesaga, until you get to the point of the development of the promising and unfortunately canceled Prey 2. I am currently working on projects that have not yet been announced.
  • Alpha Dog Games - a Canadian team specializing in mobile game development, are known for the titles Wraithborne and MonstroCity: Rampage. It is not known what they are currently working on.

In short, there's no shortage of talent in this new study group: we can't wait to learn more about their future projects, and how they'll take advantage of the new Xbox Series X and S!
