The first biggest question that was asked is what the acquisition met for the Elder Scrolls and the second question was what it meant for Fallout, specifically Fallout: New Vegas.įor context, Obsidian Entertainment is already under the Microsoft Umbrella, and Bethesda's just about there. In turn, what this also means that that the rumor mill is likely going to be eyeing everything that happens with the two companies. Some fruits of that labor have already began to bore, even though it won't still be finalized for a couple of months. Without a doubt, one of the most surprising moves in the game industry last year was Microsoft's announced acquisition of Bethesda.
