簡介
Bethesda Softworks,LLC,是一家美國遊戲發行商，並且為Zenimax Media 的子公司。公司於始創於美國馬里蘭州的Bethesda（Bethesda，Maryland），並且於1990年遷址至馬里蘭州Rockville（Rockville,Maryland）。旗下有諸多不同題材和類型的遊戲發系列，包括角色扮演（RPG），競速，模擬類和體育類型等。
公司歷史
Bethesda Softworks （以下簡稱Bethesda）是一家有著逾20年互動式娛樂（包括遊戲在內）開發，發行歷史的公司。在2001年Bethesda 成為了一家專注於遊戲發行的公司，並將原有的開發部門組建成了Bethesda Game Studio 用以專注於遊戲開發。
公司由Christopher Weaver 於1986年始創於Maryland Bethesda，然後在1990年搬遷至Rockville。公司在此階段開發了很多PC和命令行遊戲。在1999年，公司創始人Weaver和Robert Altman成立了ZeniMax，Inc。
Bethesda是遊戲物理引擎的開拓者和先驅者，其於1986年在Commodore Amiga 和 Commodore 64/128 平台開發出了具有物理引擎的模擬遊戲Gridiron！。
公司廣為人知的系列當屬上古捲軸（The Elder Scrolls）系列。遊戲基於原創自Jullian Lefay的程式。系列第一章，上古捲軸：競技場（The Elder Scroll:Arena），發布於1994年。自那時起，系列一直延續至今。系列正傳續作：匕首雨（DaggerFall），晨風（MorrowWind），湮沒（Oblivion），天際（SkyRim）分別於1996,2002,2006,2011年發布。並以其一貫的高超水準，曲折劇情，豐滿任務，宏大歷史而聞名於世。而且遊戲也開創了DLC收費的先河（Oblivion，2002）。並且其中發布了3部外傳（衍生作）：戰鬥神塔Battlespire（1997），Redguard（1998）和The Elder Scroll Travels 系列。Bethesda Softworks 也發布了改編自著名電影的遊戲作品：終結者（The Terminator），星際迷航（Star Trek）和加勒比海盜（The Pirates of the Caribbean）.雖然上述作品褒貶不一。
Bethesda Softworks在此階段也擴展了自己的品牌版圖。發行了諸如Wet，Rogue Warrior和Splash Damage's Brink 等遊戲。
在2009年6月24日。Bethesda 的母公司，ZeniMax Media 起訴了id Software，起因是id旗下包括狂怒（Rage）在內的由id Tech 5 遊戲引擎開發的遊戲都應由Bethesda Softworks 發行。其後 Bethesda Softworks 勝訴。

工作室
簡介
Bethesda Game Studio 是美國遊戲發行商 Bethesda Softworks 旗下的一家知名遊戲製作組。成立於2001年。之前和母發行商 Bethesda Softworks並未獨立拆分。其獨立logo和獨立工作室名稱是隨著2002年上古捲軸III：晨風（The Elder Scrolls III：MorrowWind）的發布而發布的。工作室由ToddHoward所領導。有趣的是Bethesda Softworks ，Bethesda Game Studio 和母公司 ZeniMax在同一所辦公樓里辦公。
歷史
Bethesda Game Studio 成立於2001年。所有的原Bethesda Softworks的開發人員都拆分至新成立的工作室里。從而將Bethesda 的遊戲開發和發行獨立開來。另一個有趣的歷史是拆分之前並非所有的Bethesda開發的遊戲都是由Bethesda 發行，反而拆分後自從湮滅開始，所有的Bethesda Game Studio 開發的遊戲都是由Bethesda Softworks 發行的。
