ZeniMax files from 2020 mentioned several unannounced titles
Several unannounced titles were confirmed today through FTC vs. Microsoft court document leak.
Just a friendly reminder, the uncensored attachments within the court files have provided extensive insights into the upcoming updates for Xbox consoles, specifically concerning the 2024 refresh and the 2028 next-gen update. Additionally, these files feature a list of ZeniMax games (the company that owned Bethesda and ID Software), shedding light on the strategic direction of the company for the next two years.
However, it’s worth noting that these files are dated back to 2020, before Microsoft’s acquisition. It’s evident that some of the mentioned titles may have already missed their release deadlines, and some might have been abandoned along the way.

Furthermore, there are mentions of Fallout 3 and Dishonored 3, both slated for release in the fiscal year 2024. Notably, there’s also reference to a new Doom title with the codename “Year Zero” set for the fiscal year 2023, along with an accompanying DLC scheduled for a subsequent fiscal year.
Intriguingly, ZeniMax’s management is also planning some projects with rather vague names, such as “Project Kestrel,” “Project Platinum,” and an enigmatic “Licensed IP game.”
