Oblivion And Fallout 3 Remasters, Dishonored 3 Among Games In Leaked Xbox Schedule Docs

A list of unannounced games including sequels and remasters has appeared out of Microsoft v. FTC court documents.

35 Comments

An old release schedule leaked in documents released for the FTC v. Microsoft trial mentions a number of unnanounced games including Dishonored 3, a Ghostwire Tokyo sequel, Doom Year Zero, and Fallout 3 and Oblivion remasters.

As posted by Wario64, the leaked document shows an old ZeniMax release schedule that lists a number of major titles we already know about--such as Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6--alongside a handful that have never been announced.

The unannounced games include a third game in the Dishonored series, despite recent reports that Deathloop was developed due to Bethesda turning down Dishonored 3. A Ghostwire: Tokyo sequel also appears on the schedule, which appears to have been greenlit while the original game was still in development. A new Doom title named Year Zero is also on the list, along with lots of DLC--suggesting it's planned to be a major title.

Two of Bethesda's most-loved older RPGs, Fallout 3 and Oblivion, are also on the list for remasters, with both original titles over 15 years old now.

Notably, the release schedule appears to be from before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, with games still aiming for their pre-pandemic release dates--such as Starfield slated for 2021, and Elder Scrolls 6 still expected in 2024. Most of the unannounced games are on the schedule for financial year 2024, which means we likely won't see any of them until 2026 or later. Its also possible the titles have been quietly canceled or shelved since this schedule was current, but we're holding out hope that the titles still exist behind the scenes somewhere.

The news comes as leaked documents also revealed plans for a mid-generation digital-only Xbox Series X refresh and the first apparent details on a next-gen Xbox.

@xboxplayer1: Fallout 3 and Oblivion count as legacy games(also on PS3) and therefore i expect them to come to current Playstation too.

Dishonored 3 could be a case-by-case candidate.

Ghostwire Tokyo was a decend game held up by a budget cap but a sequel with more financial support could be something special.
I guess it would be good if it came also on PS since its history began on PS.

@sladakrobot: doesn't matter they will treat this game like FF7 remake and make Sony suffer like they do Xbox.

Because all the amazing talent from Obsidian left ages ago. DICE, RARE, Bioware, Obsidian, they're not what they once were. The talent is long long gone😭

@murraycat: That is what i read here and there too.

I never played 1 and 2,the change to 3D and some other stuff must have turned off many fans of FO1 and 2 i guess.

To some degree i can relate...i really liked the very first 2D Worms back then but i really dont care about the "modern" Worms games.

If they update the heinous combat of Fallout 3 and Oblivion to Fallout 4 and Skyrim quality. I'll definitely get it.

Assuming the projects are still on the books today, Oblivion and Fallout 3 remasters make some amount of sense if the next numbered installments in either of those series aren't for another 3+ years. And if MS isn't going to hand one of the franchises (*cough* Fallout) off to another developer (*cough* Obsidian *cough cough*) so they can both be in development at the same time.

Fallout 3 and Oblivion were both excellent games for their time, but why would you waste time remastering them? A full remake of Fallou 3 with the upgraded engine that's in Starfield would be cool, but a cheap remaster is a waste of space since the pc version of the game is a "remaster" that exists since 2008.

@hardwenzen: I think Fallout 3 still holds up if you're not a graphics snob. I'm more interested in Dishonored 3.

@hardwenzen: I bet they are going to just up the resolution and framerate...and slap a remaster label on it...at this point modders can do 10 times a better job than greedy, lazy companies.

This is why a remaster is pointless if the game was originally available on pc (in some cases, if the game is really old, a remaster can improve controls and such, but Fallout 3 and Oblivion are not hose games). It needs a full remake like what Capcom does with their RE titles, and if you don't want to invest the time and resouces, then don't even bother, its gonna be pointless.

@hardwenzen: I agree it's pointless and cash-grabby, but Mass Effect Legendary Edition sold like water in the desert and it wasn't even that good of a remaster, so while I wouldn't buy FO3 or ES4 for $70 all over again, I'm pretty sure many will...

It did? Wasn't following ME Remaster, but it wouldn't be too surprising since its one of the best trilogies out there.

A fallout 3 remaster? Todd Howard is just trolling at this point. How about a new vegas remake by obsidian instead? Honestly, I would buy a fallout 3 remaster because I have the original downloaded but the mission where you lead the doctors out of the tunnels after your father dies in front of you keeps glitching on me. Dr. Li won't leave the tunnel so the mission won't progress. Had to restart the game. Good game but new vegas was better.

Ghostwire Tokyo was great. I’ll be sad not to be able to play its sequel.

@probable: For me it just wouldn't be justifiable enough. I have a PS5 for it's exclusives and the multis. So the Xbox would only be good for it's exclusives, which are too few (that I care to play).

It's not like MS wouldn't profit from putting it on PS5 with its larger userbase and prior experience with the first game 🧐
