Bethesda might not announce anything new at E3

While we definitely expect quite a few bombshells to be dropped at E3, it looks like we can count Bethesda out when it comes to new announcements. PR boss and VP Pete Hines has said that E3 might not be the best venue to announce anything.

While we definitely expect quite a few bombshells to be dropped at E3, it looks like we can count Bethesda out when it comes to new announcements. PR boss and VP Pete Hines has said that E3 might not be the best venue to announce anything.

“Just me, personally, both from my days, even though it seems eons ago where I used to attend E3 as a journo and now with my ten-plus years at Bethesda, I just don’t think E3 is a great place to announce anything,” Hines told Joystiq.

“It’s just so much stuff going on that it tends to get lost, so I think we tend to try and go outside of that window for new announcements. I think we’ll have a lot of new things to show.

Of course, the Bethesda games already announced will still be shown off at the yearly expo. It still remains to be seen whether or not Bethesda really does announce anything at E3, but Hines said that we’ll probably have a better chance of hearing something at, say, QuakeCon, which happens in late August.

“All these games that we’re talking about will have new stuff. We hope to be hands-on with the majority of them for the press, that kind of thing,” Hines said. “But as far as new announcements, I think we would either do those kinds of things and maybe be more inclined to do them at events like QuakeCon.

“That’s now kind of an event that we’re working with id to make bigger and better. One of the ways you make it bigger and better is you take some of your stuff and do announcements there rather than doing them elsewhere.”
