Speaking with MCV, Bethesda’s Pete Hines things that Fallout 4 will sell more than The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

“I think [Fallout 4] can top Skyrim. It could be our biggest release ever,” he asserted.

“But we will see. It is part of my job to build the megaphone that we hold up to the game, and the game decides how loud it goes. Just how big it is going to be is hard to say. Skyrim was a massively big deal.”

Fallout 4 is available from 10 November on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
