Bethesda outlines and dates 2011 lineup: Brink, Hunted, Rage, Skyrim

Posted on January 27, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

Today Bethesda announced its biggest games for 2011, and it’s looking like a pretty solid lineup. Brink, the highly smooth First Person Shooter from Splash Damage blending single player, co-op, and multiplayer will be coming May 17th in the U.S. and May 20th in Europe; the fantasy action game Hunted will release June 1st in the U.S. and June 3rd in Europe; id Software’s highly anticipated Rage will finally land September 13th in the U.S. and September 16th in Europe; and finally, Bethesda Game Studios’ very own The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will be launching worldwide on the convenient 11/11/11. All of these titles will be releasing for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, with RAGE still coming to the Mac as well.

I’ve never been a fan of the publisher, but this is definitely a strong year for them. I’ve been following Rage for a long time, and Doom-meets-MotorStorm is something I simply can’t pass up.
