All eyes are on Bethesda this year as the gaming community awaits the release of the unique action-adventure title, Deathloop. Recently, Harvey Smith of Arkane Studios Austin, which is a subsidiary of Bethesda, revealed that the studio is working on another unannounced title.
However, the company grabbed the attention of fans all across the world with its surprise announcement. The official website for the company has this to say about the upcoming title:
“The standalone adventure starring the legendary archaeologist will tell a wholly original tale set at the height of the career of the famed adventurer.”
