Bethesda has officially joined Xbox, both companies have annoncerede i dag.
The deal for Xbox parent company Microsoft to acquire Bethesda and its parent company, Zenimax Media, was first announced i september sidste år. Regulators have finally approved the massive deal this week.
Furthermore, new Bethesda games are coming to Xbox Game Pass later this week, however Microsoft wouldn’t share details on which games to expect.
Her er den fulde besked:
Today we officially complete the acquisition of ZeniMax Media, parent company of Bethesda Softworks. It’s an honor to welcome the eight incredibly talented development studios – Bethesda Game Studios, id Software, ZeniMax Online Studios, Arkane, MachineGames, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, and Roundhouse Studios – and their passionate global communities to the Xbox family. Now that everything is official, we can begin working together to deliver more great games to everyone. At every step building toward this moment, I’ve been inspired and motivated by the creativity, insight, and community-first approach of the talented people at Bethesda. Our goal is to give these teams the best foundation for doing their greatest work and to learn from them as we continue to build Xbox into an inclusive platform for all players.
Dette er det næste skridt i opbygningen af et brancheførende førstepartsstudieteam, en forpligtelse, vi har til vores Xbox-fællesskab. Med tilføjelsen af Bethesdas kreative teams bør spillere vide, at Xbox-konsoller, pc og Game Pass vil være det bedste sted at opleve nye Bethesda-spil, inklusive nogle nye titler i fremtiden, som vil være eksklusive for Xbox- og pc-spillere.
Som vi delte tidligere, er det meget vigtigt, at Bethesda fortsætter med at lave spil, som det altid har gjort. Vi ser frem til at styrke Bethesdas kreative teams til at nå ud til endnu flere spillere rundt om i verden, og hjælpe med at gøre fremtidige Bethesda-titler til de største og mest populære spil i deres historie. Xbox og Bethesda har længe delt en fælles vision for fremtidens gaming. Både som fans og som skabere forstår Bethesda potentialet i Xbox Game Pass.
We would also like to honor the life and memory of my close friend Robert A. Altman, founder of ZeniMax Media. Robert believed deeply in the power of gaming and we are privileged to be able to continue his work by joining forces with the teams he built and led for many years. I will miss the opportunity to work directly with him on the future of our combined teams but I know that his spirit will live on in the shared work we do and motivate us to make this partnership all he envisioned.
Tak til alle vores spillere for at være med på denne utrolige rejse og til millioner af Bethesda-fans rundt om i verden. Nu hvor vi er ét team, kan vi begynde at arbejde sammen om fremtiden. Vi vil have mere at dele om, hvad der er det næste for vores hold senere i år. I mellemtiden, for at fejre dette særlige øjeblik, bringer vi yderligere Bethesda-spil ind i Xbox Game Pass senere på ugen. Følg med for flere detaljer!
