Bethesda Softworks‭ ‬is currently developing an unnamed iPhone title.

The developer,‭ ‬which has recently enjoyed fame through its action RPG titles,‭ ‬has never developed for a handheld console or mobile device before.‭ ‬Between‭ ‬2003‭ ‬and‭ ‬2004,‭ ‬however,‭ ‬The‭ ‬Rockville,‭ ‬Maryland-based outfit had produced a handful of titles for mobile systems such as the N-Gage.‭ ‬These games,‭ ‬most of which fell under the banner of Elder Scrolls titles,‭ ‬were developed externally.‭

Yet reports have emerged from the recent‭ ‬ComicCon convention in‭ ‬New York that‭ ‬Todd Howard,‭ ‬Fallout‭ ‬3‭’‬s executive producer,‭ ‬is now going to be working on an iPhone title.‭ ‬Todd Howard had appeared at the event and was at one stage part of a panel discussion along with Bioshock writer Ken Levine and Edge columnist N’Gai Croal.‭

Croal had subsequently confirmed the news via a‭ ‬Twitter post,‭ ‬which reads:‭ “‬Biggest news from Comic-Con panel:‭ ‬Todd Howard and‭ ‬Bethesda working on an iPhone game.‭”

The news continues to build the sentiment that the iPhone is being taken seriously as a lucrative and viable gaming platform.‭ ‬Back in December,‭ ‬Kojima Productions announced that it was working on a new Metal Gear Solid title for the mobile device.‭
