addedFallout 4 was announced at our first-ever #BE3 showcase, and fan fervor reached a level we’ve never seen! Less than six months later the game was in your hands, and its release was a record-smashing success. But, most importantly, we’ve been amazed by all of your incredible stories and brilliant fan creations. Keep playing and sharing your adventures, your settlements, your amazing characters and more. And remember: Bethesda Game Studios is just getting started. Stay tuned in 2016 for the release of the all-new Creation Kit and Fallout 4 DLC content.
changedSpeaking of Fallout… Fallout Shelter arrived on iOS immediately after it was announced at the #BE3 showcase. While it’s a free-to-play game, it quickly rocketed to the top of the Apple charts, grossing more than Candy Crush Saga soon after it was available! Since its initial release, it also arrived on Android and has seen numerous updates that have enhanced the gameplay (including pets!). Capping off an enormous first year, Fallout Shelter was named by Apple as a “Best of 2015” title, and recently Google named Shelter one of the best overall games in the Google Play store.
added2015 was also a massive year for The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited. Not only did the game arrive on console – opening up ESO to a host of new players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One – but it dropped the mandatory subscription, allowing anyone to play as much as they liked once they purchased the game. Along with numerous other improvements and additions – including the popular Crown Store – ESO has come a long way since its launch, earning the highest praise from MMORPG.com , which named ESO the Best MMO of 2015! (Also, there’s still time to enter for a chance to win a million dollars. More here: ESO Million Dollar Sweepstakes .)
changedDOOM blasted its way back into the hearts and trigger fingers of eager fans. After a riveting reveal at our #BE3 showcase, DOOM stormed QuakeCon, where attendees lined up to try their hands at multiplayer. With a couple of closed Alphas late in the year, DOOM is now gearing up for Beta then launch in spring 2016. We’ll be talking a lot about DOOM here on Bethesda.net along with all our social channels, so keep an eye out for more!
addedDOOM wasn’t the only FPS making headlines in 2015. We also released Wolfenstein: The Old Blood – a standalone prequel campaign set in the world of Wolfenstein: The New Order. A journey back in time for B.J. Blazkowicz and crew, The Old Blood introduced some killer new gameplay mechanics while sending players on a real nostalgia trip – delivering a big B-movie-style adventure with brutally fun gameplay.
changedBrutality took center stage with the release of DLC for The Evil Within. Starting in March, fans got to explore Krimson City from a different perspective, playing as detective Juli Kidman in The Assignment and The Consequence. Then in May, players got to (literally) see evil from the inside with The Executioner, a first-person series of sadistic challenges carried out by the ruthless Keeper.
