Bethesda Softworks today announced a new partnership with Splash Damage. The former company is best known for its work on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and the upcoming Fallout 3 and the latter company recently completed Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. Little else was announced about this agreement, but the release by Bethesda said that more details of the "brand-new project" by Splash Damage will be divulged in the months to come.

"Bethesda Softworks has repeatedly been responsible for outstanding games as both publisher and developer," said Paul Wedgwood, Owner and Creative Director of Splash Damage. "Both of our studios share a passion for creating great games, and we're confident that this partnership will result in even greater experiences for gamers. We're really looking forward to working with Bethesda."

They are highly creative and innovative, and have demonstrated a high level of dedication to their projects. We are confident that gamers everywhere will be thrilled with the offerings from this collaboration."
