Oblivion: Peter Hines talks Bethesda’s future plans

When we talk Peter Hines, you know what that means, people. Yup – we will be going another round with Bethesda‘s spokesman on their upcoming PS3 release of Oblivion, with this interview session focusing on extra details for the Shivering Isles, other games in the works, and what else on the PS3 (aside from Oblivion) that Hines looks forward to seeing on the shelves.

First off, Hines mentioned that Shivering Isles, earlier mentioned to be hitting the PS3, may be getting released within the year. “I can’t tell you how or when right now, but it is definitely in our plans.” Hines added, “It’s another one of those things – Shivering Isles isn’t done yet, PS3 isn’t even done yet [in Europe, so Shivering Isles for PS3 needs to have a few things happen first before we can move on that.”

And for the people wondering what other plans Bethesda has cooking up for the PS3 outside RPGs, Hines reiterates on their upcoming FPS: Rogue Warrior. “Rogue Warrior is the only PS3 title we’ve announced to date, but PS3 is something we would like to develop more for and reach out to that community that we haven’t really actively served in the past.”

Hines also expresses that he is excited about the future release of Ubisoft‘s Assassin’s Creed title, given how impressive it looked during the 2006 E3.
