Following the already established tradition, Bethesda Studios' holiday card includes some spoilers for the upcoming year.

The image posted along the holiday greetings features a number of references to upcoming titles from the acclaimed development studio, and it unfortunately bears some bad news for Fallout fans.

Following the unveiling of some leaked documents, the existence of Fallout 4 has been undoubtedly confirmed. Moreover, its setting has also been pin-pointed to be the city of Massachusetts. It seems the spoiler makes no mention of the game.

On with the good. The bow-tied vault, covered in blood and barbed wire, is the head of The Evil Within's Boxman and the robot dog is a panzerhund from Wolfenstein: The New Order, as IGN points out.

The Ouroboros hanging on the wall is a nod to The Elder Scrolls Online, which just got a fancy new release date, announcing that players will be able to roam the lands of Tamriel starting April 4, 2014 (on the PC, with next-gen consoles following shortly).

Not such a bad year after all, come to think about it.
