Yummy, more Elder Scrolls!

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Developer – Bethesda
Publisher – Bethesda
Platforms – Windows, Xbox 360, PS3
Release Date –11 November, 2011

Skyrim will utilize a new, internally developed engine, rather than the Gamebryo engine used for the previous two installments in the series. The new engine will incorporate some existing technology used in other Bethesda games, such as Oblivion and Fallout 3. Executive producer Todd Howard has stated that the studio has invested in new talent to improve significantly the characters and animation seen in previous Bethesda games. If the gameplay is anywhere near as good as Oblivion we’re in for a real treat.



Hitman 5
Developer – IO Interactive
Publisher – Square Enix
Platforms – Windows, Xbox 360, PS3
Release Date – Christmas, 2011

Agent 47 returns in this new entry in the Hitman series. No details have been revealed other than confirmation that Square Enix plans to release the game before the end of the year.
