Although it harkens again to 2020, and is clearly outdated in in the present day’s phrases, the schedule has directed a floodlight upon a few of Microsoft’s most notable (potential) future releases. This doc was simply launched as a part of the wrap-up following the FTC’s authorized battle with Microsoft, and it was initially sourced throughout Microsoft’s acquisition of Zenimax Media.

As Zenimax Media is the guardian firm to Bethesda Recreation Studios and Bethesda Softworks, in addition to Arkane Studios, id Software program, and several other others, it was par for the course that its deliberate future releases would get mentioned through the acquisition talks.
