In an interview with Eurogamer.net Todd Howard of Bethesda Studio talked about the process of development for "Fallout 3" and a mysterious new game that has yet to be titled, could Howard be talking about "Fallout 4"?

"We kind of overlap, so "Fallout 3" was overlapped into "Oblivion," so we'll be doing design. We have about 90 people on the team, but not everyone is on the main game. Most people are," Howard said. "We spent time on "Fallout 3" during "Oblivion" so when "Oblivion" was done we had a design, a concept, and some stuff running for "Fallout 3" so we could move the bulk of people onto it."

"Likewise with the new game, we were working on it during "Fallout 3." We had design, we had concepts, we had stuff we knew we wanted to do."

In an opinion piece, idigitaltimes.com reporter Mo Mazuch asks Bethesda Game Studios "What could you possibly be doing? Doesn't it strike anyone else out there as odd that a major studio has been completely silent on its next gen ambitions?"

"So If Bethesda Game Studios was working on a brand new IP then today would've been the day to tease it," Mazuch writes.

A "Fallout 4" release date could possibly be announced sometime this week, Mazuch says. Fans will have to check back with Latin Times to see if any news about "Fallout 4" breaks.
