Bethesda's unannounced licensed game reportedly tied to Disney brand
It has been reported that Bethesda's unannounced licensed game, set to release in the fiscal year 2024, is linked to a Disney brand, according to information from a recent discussion on the XboxEra podcast.
Earlier this month, Microsoft experienced a significant leak as part of the FTC's ongoing investigation into the company's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. This leak revealed a collection of emails and presentations dating back to 2019, including a roadmap for upcoming projects from Bethesda, some of which had not been officially announced, such as Doom Year Zero and Fallout 3 Remaster.

One particularly intriguing piece of information was a licensed IP game scheduled for release in the fiscal year 2024. The identity of this licensed IP has generated considerable interest and speculation.
During a recent episode of the XboxEra podcast, Shpeshal Nick, in a conversation with Jesse Norris and Aarsal, mentioned that he had heard from a source that the licensed IP in question falls under the Disney banner. However, Disney's vast portfolio includes numerous intellectual properties, leaving room for a wide range of possibilities. Nick noted that this was the extent of what he could reveal at the time.
Speculations abound regarding the potential IP. It could be related to well-known franchises like Marvel or Star Wars, but it might also be something entirely different. The leak has sparked speculation about the possibility of a Mandalorian game, which has been the subject of rumors for some time, but due to the nature of the leak, certainty remains elusive.
In the same discussion, Nick also mentioned that Elder Scrolls VI would be an exclusive title for Xbox, stating that there was no point in debating this fact.
As more information becomes available, we will continue to provide updates on this intriguing development.
