Many fans were initially concerned about the relationship between the two companies when Microsoft acquired Bethesda last year. However, Arkane director Harvey Smith says the two companies “fit perfectly” together.
In a recent interview with Spanish website Vandal, he even went so far as to say “it would be very, very difficult to find a better partner for Bethesda than Microsoft”. He said Microsoft was fundamentally an “ideal partner,” although he admits that the “process is still underway” when it comes to potential changes due to the acquisition.
Harvey Smith has some pretty important gaming credentials. He was the lead designer on Deus Ex, as well as directing both Dishonored and Dishonored 2. And in the interview, he made his next project look a bit of a mystery: “I’m into something else, I’m working with the guys who made Dishonored and Prey. “
Given his track record, we’re confident his next game will be great. And given its high praise from Microsoft, it seems Bethesda fans can breathe a little easier on the future of their favorite franchises.
