Thanks to last week's massive Microsoft leak, we have learned, among other things, that Bethesda is working on a yet-to-be-announced licensed game. Nothing is known about this game, but it seems like it could be big, according to rumors circulating online.
Speaking during the latest episode of the Xbox Era podcast, Shpeshal Nick, who proved to be somewhat reliable when it comes to gaming leaks, revealed that this unnamed licensed game is under the Disney banner without specifying or even hinting at which IP it could be. At this point, it could be anything from Star Wars to Marvel or even something a little more obscure.
As of now, we do not even know who is actually working on this game that Bethesda will publish, but there's a good chance it is the online team-based PvPvE 3rd-person shooter that was revealed to be in development back in 2021 by Roundhouse Studio, a development studio put together by the former developer of the Rune series, Human Head Studios. This game is said to be based on a major comic license, so this would remove Star Wars among the possible IPs under the Disney banner on which the game could be based.

As this Bethesda game was inadvertently revealed before it was ready to be shown, we shouldn't expect more information on it to come anytime soon, leaving us plenty of time to speculate. Which Disney IP do you think would work best for an online shooter? Let us know in the comments.
