Bethesda is working on an 'unannounced game' for next-generation consoles, it has revealed.
"Bethesda Game Studios is looking for experienced programmers to work on cutting-edge technology for an unannounced game on future-generation consoles," reads the listing.
It's calling for programmers with extensive experience with PS3 and 360 development, along with DirectX 11.
There are no hints as to the nature of the new game.
Bethesda isn't the only one making aggressive strides towards next-gen. Epic has announced today that it will be showing off its "next-generation game technology", Unreal Engine 4, at GDC next week.

Is it.... The Elder Scrolls VI: Akavar or The Elder Scrolls VI: Sommerset Isle?
Only wishing there. I don't think they would include Akavar in the next games as Bethesda would need to create a whole load of new playable characters/races, seeing as no akavari have appeared in the game so far. They have gone into some detail about all the different races of akavar, it would be a pity not to explore it in a game. The same goes for Sommerset Isle, the home of the high elves. Bethesda even go so far as describing different factions of Sommerset isle in Skyrim. This could be just expanding the whole Elder Scrolls lore and universe but the Snow Elves were first mentioned in Morrowinds expansion, Bloodmoon and appeared a bit later as the Falmer in Skyrim.

With you on this one, another Fallout game does seem likely and i'm hoping if it is another Fallout, why not have the game set in another country other than America like in Europe or China. And imagine the graphics if they use the same engine as Skyrim! Soooo many glitches and bugs that need to be sorted and the Playstation users can't play it for ages!

Are they definitely going with Fallout 4 then ? I thought all the legal ramblings and rumours pointed towards the next Fallout being an MMO?
Personally I hope it isn't an MMO. Part of what I love about Fallout 3 is the solitary experience out in the wastelands, so I'll be more than happy if it's single player.
