Former Obsidian chief creative officer Chris Avellone told on X that the studio wanted to develop a spin-off of The Elder Scrolls that would play a similar role to what New Vegas was for the Fallout series.
After reports began to appear on social media that Obsidian had offered to develop a spin-off for The Elder Scrolls series, but Bethesda had abandoned the idea, Avellone wrote the following:
“This is true. One of the Elder Scrolls proposals (which I pitched) was intended to serve the same function as FNV did between F3 and F4, to provide more adventures in the setting during the years before the next Bethesda release.”
Chris Avellone also wrote that their game should have given players more content between the main games in the series that Bethesda was working on. Unfortunately, his idea was received rather coldly, as Bethesda was unhappy with the results of Fallout New Vegas.
Avellone also said that such a project would be irrelevant now due to the existence of The Elder Scrolls Online.
His vision was similar to the way Treyarch and Activision worked on Call of Duty, creating games in the same series with related stories, but still being independent projects that expanded the overall universe.
