Bethesda and the remains of its studios are currently part of Microsoft, since on September 21, 2020, those from Redmond signed a agreement to acquire ZeniMax Media, parent company of Bethesda Softworks. Although Microsoft owns Bethesda, it seems that it will not interfere in its creative decisions, since recent rumors have indicated that Bethesda would open a studio focused on remakes and remastering of its classic games like Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas, or even older titles like Morrowind.
These rumors have been published by youtuber Skullz via Twitter, who has commented that he has heard on several occasions that Bethesda would open a studio focused on remakes and remasters of its classic games. Apparently, the studio could be called Artifact Studiossomething that would be very interesting for all Xbox players, who would enjoy improved versions of great Bethesda games, which we imagine would arrive day one on Xbox Game Pass.
Bethesda talks about Fallout 5, which will one day be a reality
Heard a rumor about Bethesda opening a new studio that focuses on remasters or remakes? Might be called Artifact Studios. Not sure if this is legit or not but heard it a couple times now so makes me wonder…

As always with leaks and rumours, we suggest you take this with a grain of salt until it can be confirmed or disproved. We hope that this can end up becoming a reality, since it would be very interesting if classic Bethesda games receive a remastered version or a remake.
