ZeniMax/id Software Acquisition Interview

Skewed & Reviewed had the chance to chat with Bethesda’s Pete Hines about their parent company ZeniMax’s recent acquisition of id Software and how it will affect future titles from both companies.

GVK: What changes will we see in any Zenimax titles that were planned as a result of this move and have any titles been delayed or halted?

It doesn’t impact any other games Bethesda has in development. Nothing has changed.

GVK: As a follow up, will any planned Zenimax releases now utilize ID gaming engines?

We are already working on Brink with the folks at Splash Damage, which uses id tech. Whether or not future games will use id’s tech will have to be evaluated on a game-by-game basis and what’s best for that game.
