As we’ve already stated, Bethesda is one of the few publishers that invests and heavily supports single-player games. And after the cancellation of Visceral’s Star Wars single-player game from EA, a number of gamers may have thought that all developers would follow this path. However, Bethesda will keep making single-player games.
During this year’s The Video Games Awards event, Bethesda presented a video in which it clearly stated that it will keep making single-player games.
As Bethesda stated:
“But in recent years, with multiplayer on the rise, single-player games have become fewer in number. Meanwhile, the community has been clamoring for more single-player games, and the media has penned a panoply of pieces bemoaning the loss of single-player experiences. But never fear! Bethesda is here to help. In a new video that debuted at The Game Awards, starring none other than Lynda Carter, we share our vision for saving the single player.”
Furthermore, Bethesda announced that it will discount all of its latest games this weekend by 50%. As such, players will be able to purchase all of Bethesda’s latest single-player games at attractive prices.
Bethesda will also donate $100,000 to the ESA Foundation to provide scholarships for future developers – the talented young people who might one day make new amazing single-player games.
It’s also worth noting that Bethesda has dropped the Denuvo anti-tamper tech from its titles.
GG Bethesda. GG!

A bit of trivia: Lynda Carter is married to the CEO of ZeniMax Media; Bethesda’s parent company.
hehe…good to know..thanks!
Where would this world be without nepotism,…
also the us president’s brother owns stock in bethesda.
realy? Is Trump and his famly gamers too?! Probably his kids might be gamers but he and his brother also?!
I blame gamers for a lacking of single players. * but but THE onlINE gamess* Gamers are worst enemy.
no one complained about lack of single player games other than autistic teens like you though
you might want to do some ressearch.
research to see what people want? that’d be a low iq move since playerbase is out there and it’s very clear people play multiplayer games more because majority of people are not autistic.
Single player games, lootboxes worst enemy!!!
DO NOT BUY, this is not a deal, this is a scam by bethesda to get you buy their games more expensive instead of buying them cheaper during winter sale.
Good move bethesda…
Now shut down your paid mod bullshit and we’re good and i might forgive you for never fully fixing your games
You guys amaze me, what’s wrong with mod makers making some money? You greedy whiner’s continue to give $60 to EA and Activision so they can piss on you but you won’t donate a couple bucks to your favorite mod makers, smh.
Paid mods wouldn’t exist if gamers would donate.
You are part of the problem, yeah content creators should not be asking for a penny for their hard job, right?
Please can you share with us opinion articles made by those modders you say everything they do should be done because love? LOL, its funny how often Im being called “commie” when you “capitalist” only want people doing “free” stuff.
Totally agree with you, people here tends to not see(or want to) the grey areas. It white or black, paid mods are bad, doing things free is good.
But as you said, they are pretty inclined to pay 60$ for incomplete AAA games with first month DLCs.
Like if Bethesda would need for forgiveness, so naive.
I’m guessing they are not going to be cheaper than they were on this last sale, since all people on Steam that bought it would just refund it.
Mediocre? Bethesda is the only publisher to consistently release games that I enjoy. Wolfenstein:TNO/TNC, Prey, Dishonored 1 & 2, Evil Within 1 & 2, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom… their output over the past 6 years has been pretty great.
according to them everything is mediocre except that one they do like
so what you like exactly?
Probably Kanye.
I divide it in that way:
Bethesda Softworks relases awsome games like DOOM or Dishonored.
Bethesda Game studios made TES series and pile of dump called Fallout 4.
new woflenstein was mediocre, dishonored 2 was a dissapoitment. The rest were great.
But yeah they publish good sp games, mainly becuase ea and square enix decided to kill themselves and ubisoft, is too far up its own backside with recycling products on a factory production line and spitting them out to even be a serious competitor.
Wolfenstein 2 is a pure cr** propaganda.
that’s valve idea
And the pigs are ducks.
Praise, not only for supports SP games, they dropped Denuvo!
or you can use baldman’s crack that removes denuvo completly.
“It’s also worth noting that Bethesda has dropped the Denuvo anti-tamper tech from its titles.”
When it was cracked day 1. now though its different so we have to wait and see. not to mention Denuvo overall won’t go that well with their possible universal paid mod plans.
I still appreciate their SP games though. TEW 2 was the most surprising one cause i already expected other ones to be as good as they were.
“. TEW 2 was the most surprising one cause i already expected other ones to be as good as they were.”
tew2 was a improvement, as it should, dishonored 2 was meh and wolfenstein 2 was a mediocre dissapoitment.
The sadest thing is that prey is game of the year, closest thing to system shock and did not sell well.
they doing everything in power to make wolfenstein 2 sell.
I would say buy prey or evil within 2 instead.
Beth pls stop… Now everyone who is BAD wants too look GOOD in a light of EA mistake.
What is so great in -50% price? It’s proof they games are weak, new titles like Wolf 2 and TEW2 already -50%, both are avarage games with broken PC releases, Fallout 4 is trash.
Dishonored 2 and DLC are bad.
Prey and Doom in all this craps are a fine games to play 🙂
“Bethesda is one of the few publishers that invests and heavily supports single-player games”
It’s so impressive how Bethesda have supported Skyrim by,
– fixing the myriad bugs it launched with ~6 years ago
– maintaining Steam Workshop support for Skyrim SE
– giving us the hugely popular Creation Club
– releasing Skyrim VR without any anti-consumer console brand timed exclusivity
Oh, wait…
The thing that really grinds my gears about that is that Sony is targeting PC gamers directly. We PC gamers have nothing to do with the console wars and should be left out of their exclusivity battles.. >_>
Don’t buy them
That was fun! Still not convinced to buy their leftist agenda. =)
No wonder Fallout 4 VR and L.A Noire case files come out after the weekend >_>
“Bethesda announced that it will discount all of its latest games this weekend by 50%
Doom VFR hasn’t been discounted at all.
You know, with most eastern economies crumbling and the jobs lost because big companies offshoring those jobs to third world countries, Im sure paid mods wasnt as bad as some of you like to claim.
Im pretty sure, many people could benefit of paid mods, small developers, students and so…, but them people just get afraid that every mod out there would be monetized. that is not the case, and I think very well done mods could be paid in order to get more from content creators.
But no, some people are just too single minded on this matter.
“Mods should be done because the love you have for the game”. LOL, and they call me “Commie”.
If you want more content and good mods, you should taking into account that these arent coming from nowhere, there are people behind them.
Also with Apple and most of western companies taking jobs to communist China and Vietnam, paid mods could be a good income for some jobless people. Of course Paid mod haters have their stable jobs, so as they have food in their tables, they cant care less about those who have not.
