Reporting from the New York Comic Con, IGN Wireless has revealed Bethesda's plans to develop games for iPhone.
Bethesda executive producer Todd Howard made the announcement this morning, but made no further statement as to whether the iPhone games will be ports of existing Bethesda franchises, continuations of these franchises or altogether new IP.
With the announcement, Bethesda joins the ranks of other heavy hitters in video game development -- Konami, Sega and Namco among them -- who have recognized the potential of the iPhone as a low-cost, low-risk gaming platform.

It should be interesting to see what they come up with.
