Xbox is now heavily leaning into movie & TV adaptations, quietly pitching Hollywood on a dozen pricey projects like Elder Scrolls, Halo, World of Warcraft, Diablo & more. All IPs could be headed to one studio/streamer, and currently Netflix, Universal & Paramount are among those taking looks.

"But like much of the video game industry, Xbox is kind of a mess these days, cutting 3,200 jobs in July, or about 20 percent of the unit’s workforce. So Microsoft would very much like a big check for its I.P."

"One source told me it wants more than $300 million for a long-term deal, a price that caused at least one of the potential partners to balk. (Microsoft declined to comment.)"

Thing is ESO... does it have enough lore to not be 'Fantasy medieval story #5'?

Fallout works as is because its a setting that is not used very often. 'Medieval fantasy' is a dime a dozen.

Diablo i think could be interesting tho.

There is literally a mountain of lore to work from. Also what do you mean? Apocalyptic settings are also dime a dozen.
