"They gave me the perfect opportunity," Firor told us of ZeniMax. He explained how his new studio has all the benefits of a start-up in terms of flexibility, hiring, location etc., but few of the drawbacks. He doesn't need to hire a legal or human resources department, worry about funding, seek out a publisher or worry about many of the other challenges any start-up typically faces. Plus, his parent company as the developers of Fallout and Oblivion, obviously have a few intellectual properties in their back pocket.
That does not mean people should assume that their first project is Fallout or Oblivion Online. Firor made it clear from the outset that he has absolutely no comment as to what potential existing IP, if any, his studio will pursue. Believe me, we asked in every clever way we knew how. If he's half as good at developing the game as he is not talking about it, it should be a classic.
