Possibility of a new Bethesda IP?

Mr MattyPlays brought up an interesting idea of a new IP because Zenimax is creating a 50 person studio in Montreal (imo 50 ppl = mobile games studio = smart move given the success of Fallout Shelter) and from his perspective Zenimax may not want to publish a new Elderscrolls IP because it could scuttle subscriptions for its existing Elderscrolls Online. Ignoring my brain which says that ElderScroll Online doesn't have the legs to validate postponing a surefire hit that a BSW (Bethesda Soft Works) Elderscrolls game would be that might come out circa 2018-20 given BSW dev history of games needing that long to develop. In 3-4 years time the ESO subscriber base will likely have diminished from its current.


Apparently lots of ppl like the idea of a futuristic rpg like Cyberpunk 2077 . What existing Futuristic spacestation based franchise does Bethesda's Parent Company (Zenimax) own?
....DOOM

What about a DOOM RPG
Bethesda Softworks has already shown they are good at adapting older IPs and making their own, taking other peoples atmospheres and worlds and building upon them. They have explored bloody gory games which has limbs blowing off and the VATS system. Like Bethesda games, DOOM's plot and dialogue aren't exactly literary works of art so its not going to push the developers into unfamiliar territory beyond their teams talents. ID Software could help develop a new engine which they need and further help refine its use shooter mechanics.

P.S. Apparently there was a DOOM rpg for mobile phones
