The Announcement: It's known that Bethesda have two major new games in the works, both of which are said to be of similar size to a Fallout or Elder Scrolls game. Imagine if, in fact, they're both two entirely new IPs rather than other series under the Bethesda banner?

How Likely Is It?: Not very. The word so far is that Bethesda are probably going to showcase new entries into the Wolfenstein and The Evil Within franchises, which make a ton of sense and are a lot less risky than conjuring up two new, big-scale properties out of thin air.

Then again, do Wolfenstein and The Evil Within really offer up a scale similar to Fallout or Elder Scrolls? Absolutely not. Still, it's hard to see Bethesda trotting out two new series when they've got so many existing ones left to milk. Maybe one could show up, but two? Not likely. 2/10
