There are quotes from an upcoming interview with Pete Hines on IGN where the Bethesda spokesperson discusses possible follow-ups to a couple of the publisher's recent games, as he confirms that a goal of their new IPs will always be to launch new sustainable franchises, saying: "In general, we try not to wade into anything as a one-off in the first place." He then confirms that Dishonored qualifies for a sequel, saying: "The success of that game and how proud Arkane is of it and what goes on at any studio when they put out something like that and all the ideas that are coming out, certainly it’s something that we feel is a franchise." As for a possible sequel to id Software's RAGE, Hines is more circumspect, saying id is solely focused on DOOM 4 right now: "To be determined," he tells them. "We’ll see. Right now, [id’s] focus is on their current project. They are full bore on that. What I’ve seen of it recently, I’m super happy about it. We want them to stick to that until we’re ready to talk about what that is. But let’s wait until we get there first."
