Firm announces opening of a studio it didn't already own
By Alex Calvin, PCGamesInsider Contributing Editor
Fallout and Elder Scrolls giant Bethesda has announced the opening of a studio - and this time it wasn't one it pretty much owned already.
The firm has set up shop in Russian capital Moscow with a new sales and marketing-focused outpost. This is going to be overseeing the likes of Kazakhstan and Armenia.
Wargaming and EA vet Simeon Chirikov is heading up the office as managing director, having previously worked with Bethesda as a consultant.
