Elder Scrolls Online dev has a "new, unannounced triple-A IP" on the way

Looks like ZeniMax Online, developer of The Elder Scrolls Online, has a brand-new triple-A project in store. Senior game designer Quentin Cobb has announced that he's just joined the company and that, alongside forming a new ZeniMax "satellite studio" with some other devs, he's working on a "new, unannounced triple-A IP".


Cobb, who has previously worked at The Last of Us and Uncharted developer Naughty Dog, as well as at Sony and Daybreak Game Company, has announced on Twitter: "I am happy to announce that I've joined ZeniMax Online as a sr. designer working with my good friend [creative director] Ben Jones, on a new, unannounced triple-A IP! I'm thrilled this is finally happening and wanted to share a few details".


In subsequent posts Cobb explains that, alongside devs Alex Sulman, John Bautista, Chris Kovach, and TJ Madigan, he's helped form "the basis of a new satellite studio for Zenimax Online here in San Diego". He later adds: "This is easily the most excited I've ever been to work on a project since I joined the industry back in 2009".
