Back in February, during a panel I co-hosted, one of my very special guests, Bethesdaās Todd Howard said he was cooking up an iPhone game. I asked him last week for an update.

āI put some of that on hold, because I knew we would be doing some stuff with id.ā That āstuffā was Bethesda parent company ZeniMaxās June purchase of the renowned first-person shooter development studio. id co-founder John Carmack has been aggressively working on the iPhone platform, now promising an iPhone game just about every other month. He remembers thinking, āIāll wait and see what John has to say about it.ā

The game is not a personal Todd Howard project. Think of it as a Bethesda game, though Howard wouldnāt offer gameplay details or subject matter. I asked if it would be a Fallout or Elder Scrolls project, but heād only remind me that āthose are things we really like.ā
Carmack willing, it seems, the game will proceed. āItās one of those things where I wish it would happen sooner,ā Howard said, āBut weāre definitely going to do some stuff.ā
