If any Wii U owners were hoping for games from Bethesda Softworks to come to the Wii U, will you will be disappointed.
“None of the game’s we’ve announced are being developed for the Wii U, so it’s guaranteed that none of those games are coming to Wii U,” Bethesda VP of PR and marketing Pete Hines said at QuakeCon, with regards to The Elder Scrolls Online, Wolfenstein: The New Order and The Evil Within. “Will any future ones come out? I can’t say for sure, in our near-term focus it’s not on our radar. It’s largely a hardware thing,” Hines said, explaining that Bethesda’s mantra is to “make the games that we want to make, on whatever platforms will support them as developed.” Giving an example, he said that The Elder Scrolls Online “likely would have” been released on Xbox 360, but that it “just wasn’t possible” due to hardware limitations. Specifically referencing future announcements for the Wii U, Hines said that “it remains to be seen what the future holds.”
Surprisingly Bethesda reasons for not making games for the Wii U are it’s hardware limitations and not the struggling worldwide sales it’s having like with the Wii U only selling fifty-three thousand units each month since April. With this announcement, I guess we won’t be seeing Doom 4 coming to Wii U.
