Bethesda Officially Dates Skyrim, RAGE, More
Bethesda announced its 2011 lineup including RAGE, Skyrim, Brink and Hunted for Windows, the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.
Although Bethesda spilled the beans on Wednesday after re-launching the official website for RAGE, the company has officially revealed the release dates for all four Bethesda games scheduled to launch in 2011 including Brink, Hunted: The Demon's Forge, RAGE and The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
We already know that RAGE is headed to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC here in the States on September 13 and in Europe on September 16 (so much for the classic "when it's done" quote). Bethesda even previously revealed that the fifth chapter in the Elder Scrolls series (Skyrim) will arrive on November 11 worldwide for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC.
However Thursday Bethesda also said that Brink will make its North American debut on May 17 and then in Europe on May 20 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC. Developed by Splash Damage, the upcoming first-person shooter blends single-player, co-op and multiplayer action into one seamless experience. "Brink features dynamic battlefields, extensive customization options, and an innovative control system," the company said.
Hunted: The Demon's Forge will arrive on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC in North America on June 1 followed by a European release on June 2. Developed by inXile Entertainment, the upcoming fantasy action game "is a fresh take on the classic dungeon crawl experience that delivers the intensity and action of a modern-day shooter."
"We are thrilled to offer our fans such a strong roster of games," said Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks. "We are particularly excited to present such a diverse lineup of high quality titles. 2011 will be a great year for gamers."
All four games have not yet been rated by the ESRB.

Brink is looking pretty awesome, Skyrim and Rage speak for themselves. It's going to be a busy year to be a gamer. -

LMAO. id software is making rage and had it in development *long* before id was bought by bethesda.
Plus bethesda is obviously saving the best games to release closest to the holiday season. also brink and rage are similar in scope and they don't want to release two competing products at the same time.
