“Ginger nut biscuits are the worst biscuit”. I just said. Out loud. To no one. In between mouthfuls of ginger nut biscuits.

@NoQuarterSoft If it’s not we must riot.

Will this be in the remake?

@phaseknight_ There’s probably a few bits of concept art of Todd’s desk

I was NOT expecting a confirmation that fallout 5 is in pre-production, that’s for sure

@BethesdaStudios Years of living comfortably off MMOs and Skyrim releases, occasionally sending Todd out to pretend you’re working on stuff finally coming to end. I hate that thousands of people losing their jobs is what it took to remind you to make games. But then, you made that bed…

A NOTE FROM BETHESDA GAME STUDIOS We love making these worlds as much as you love playing in them. Today, we want to share what's next for Bethesda Game Studios and what you can expect from us in the years ahead. For forty years, we've built games that have entertained almost half a billion players. More than just games, these are worlds. Worlds for you to explore, shape, and make your own. Worlds we return to together. That's what's driving us forward. We're investing more deeply in the worlds players love, giving creators a bigger role in shaping their experiences, and bringing our teams closer together so we can get our games into your hands sooner, support them longer, and continue building them alongside you for decades to come. STARFIELD CONTINUES With over 17 million players logging almost a billion hours to date, Starfield remains an important part of our future. As we enter Year 3, we'll continue expanding the Settled Systems with new stories, targeted gameplay improvements, and additional updates, while preparing for the launch of new Starborn content next year. More than 40% of players already customize their experience through Creations, and we'll continue investing in creators and giving players new ways to make Starfield their own. CREATED BY PLAYERS We've believed from the beginning that our worlds belong not only to the people who make them, but also to the people who play them. That's why we've long provided players with the tools to create their own experiences, dating back to the Morrowind Construction Set. This year marked another major milestone for Creations with its expansion to Fallout 4, joining Skyrim and Starfield. We're proud to say Creators have already earned more than $10 million in royalties from their work. THE FUTURE OF FALLOUT Fallout is one of our biggest priorities today. Fallout 5 remains our long-range destination, and we have multiple Fallout projects in active development right now. Fallout 76 continues to be home to millions of players exploring Appalachia together. With nearly 70 free updates released to date, the journey is far from over. In fact, we have a major Fallout 76 expansion planned for next year: Raven Rock, a prequel story to Fallout 3. Fallout 4, the most award-winning game in the franchise, just celebrated its 10-year anniversary and recently passed over 35 million copies sold, continuing to attract a new audience every year. We also know many players want to revisit previous Fallout experiences. While we're not announcing any dates today, we have been working on remasters for both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. Fallout Shelter continues to be the most popular way to experience Fallout on the go, with more than 250 million players. There’s more ahead for Fallout Shelter, including new Seasons. An unscripted Fallout Shelter television project is also in the works with our partners at Amazon Studios and Kilter Films. We'd like to congratulate Kilter Films and Amazon Studios on the 10 Emmy nominations for Fallout Season 2. Production on Season 3 is already underway. And while we won't host a traditional Fallout Day broadcast this year, we're already planning something special for Fallout's 30th anniversary in 2027, when Fallout Day will be celebrated live in Washington, D.C. STUDIO COLLABORATION The wasteland continues to expand as we team up once again with our longtime friends at Obsidian Entertainment. We're happy to confirm they're working with us on a new Fallout project. We'll have more to share in the future. We're also bringing our teams closer together across Bethesda. ZeniMax Online Studios will partner closely with Bethesda Game Studios on The Elder Scrolls franchise, while continuing to deliver incredible new experiences for The Elder Scrolls Online. Season One: Return of the Thieves Guild recently launched, and the team has more planned for the future. By aligning more directly across the franchise, we can create even better experiences for players. Bringing our teams closer together is helping us build a stronger foundation for everything we create next. THE ELDER SCROLLS AND BEYOND That foundation extends beyond our teams to the technology, tools, and systems that will power the next generation of Bethesda RPGs. Our teams are now developing The Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout 5 on Creation Engine 3, a shared technology platform we've been building since Starfield's launch. It allows our teams to support multiple projects simultaneously with new tools, rendering, and systems that define our games. Fallout 5 is currently in preproduction. The Elder Scrolls VI is our primary development focus today, with the majority of our team currently working on the next chapter of the franchise. With over 65 million copies sold, players are still exploring Skyrim 15 years later, but we know it’s been a very long wait for the sequel. The next chapter is on the way. We’re where we planned to be, loving how it looks, and playing it every day. THE ROAD AHEAD Across Bethesda Game Studios, we're building for the future of Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, and Starfield. We're investing in our technology, bringing teams closer together, supporting our live games, expanding into new forms of entertainment, and developing the next generation of Bethesda RPGs. We couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead and wanted to share as much as we could today. We can’t thank you enough for all you’ve given to us and these worlds. And we can’t wait to continue them together. –Bethesda Game Studios

@oldyzach The only game I’ve ever had my dad fight me for time on 😆

Pixels, pixels, lovely pixels 🥰

@omid9 Don’t. It’s too hard.

Now that England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 are out think it might be time to get out my chair and do something with my life now.

@thepawmic Genuinely heartbreaking

@woofknight Understandable

@woofknight Mate, too easy. The orange Mussolini. Failing that, poverty.

So, faptologist as a euphemism for an expert onanist, or, indeed, a master bater, is not a thing. Get on it @urbandictionary

@oldyzach Well it should hurry the hell up. This heat is killing me

I would just like to kindly remind you that winter is coming.

@takeme2hobbiton Superman 64?!

guys - just think - this time next year we could be playing a reboot of one of THE best games in human history 🚕😱

@PlayStation Scam artist behaviour.

PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium welcome a host of games this July: 🦋 Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora 🥷 Rise of the Ronin 🚒 Firefighting Simulator: Ignite ⚡ Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind …and more. Full details: play.st/4fBgBXQ

@takeme2hobbiton Certainly not my cup of tea but I’m all for equality. Chain mail ball pouches should be standard heroic apparel It’s only fair.

It's not that I object to overly sexy women in videogames, it's that the men aren't sexified enough. I want to see every inch of that nutsack in their skin-tight, unfit-for-purpose armour.

@PlayStation Update is that’s it’s going digital only?

@SkyNews A child. You two faced propagandists.

Girl, 9, among at least six people killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza, say Palestinian officials trib.al/vbHnFRn

@JoeyMannarino Ask paedo in chief, he should have time while they’re changing his nappy.

If a dog is put to sleep when it bites a child, why is a pedophile not also put to sleep when it molests a child?

@PlayStation Will it be on disc?

Enter a world where sound and spatial orientation are your main guides in this narrative experience. Coloratura is coming to PlayStation later this year: play.st/4wc4XZi

@Midge1415 @TheNotoriousMMA Was this before or after the rape?

@TheNotoriousMMA Shame you don’t believe in keeping your fecking hands to yourself.

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through Him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate, He suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins, and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen. 🙏🏼
