Pete Hines, head of publishing at Bethesda Softworks, is leaving after 24 years of service and retiring. Hines and Bethesda announced this.
Alongside Todd Howard, Hines is one of the best-known people at Bethesda Softworks, the publisher behind game franchises such as The Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Hines says that it was ‘not an easy or quick decision’. “But after an incredible career, culminating in the incredible release of Starfield, it feels like the time is right,” said Hines. The news of his departure comes just over a month after the release of Starfield, Bethesda’s biggest release since Fallout 76 in 2018.
Also Bethesda thanks Hines for the important role he played within the company. “Pete’s public presence was only a small part of his role at Bethesda, although the way he represented us was reflected in the values he cherished here: authenticity, integrity and passion,” the post read .
Pete Hines had worked for Bethesda since 1999. The first 23 years he was senior vice president of global marketing and communications. Since October of last year he fulfilled the role of head of publishing. Just like Bethesda boss Todd Howard, Hines is a well-known face in the gaming world. In recent years he has regularly spoken in interviews and was seen at press conferences such as during E3.
