Bethesda doesn’t have any immediate plans to bring their games to the Wii U. Â The Fallout 4 and Elder Scrolls VI studio has recently confirmed that they have zero games in the works for Nintendo’s fledgling console. Â According to Pete Hines, this is due to a “number of factors”.
In an interview with MCV, Hines explained that the Wii U is “not something we are currently developing for. Â I don’t know whether that changes down the road or not. Â It depends on the games that we are making and how we think it aligns with that console, and how the hardware aligns with the other stuff we are making. Â We will see.”
It’s probably a pretty safe bet to put money down on the return of Fallout and The Elder Scrolls with the turn of a new generation, but their more immediate releases will miss the platform as well. Â While Xbox and PlayStation will see a console release of The Elder Scrolls Online, the Wii U will not. Â The same goes for Wolfenstein: The New Order and Shinji Mikami’s The Evil Within; neither will arrive on the Wii U.
Bethesda is just the last third party developer to come out and express their concerns about developing for the Wii U.
