‌ Bethesda‌ game Studios’ Todd Howard has expressed regret over revealing the advancement of
⁤
The Elder Scrolls 6 in 2018, stating the sequel remains “a long way ‍off.”
‌ The admission came ⁣during a recent interview,‍ following the ⁣upcoming ‍release of Fallout Season 2 on Prime Video.

The 2018 Announcement and⁣ Subsequent Silence

⁢ ⁢ ​Howard​ initially confirmed The Elder​ Scrolls 6 was in the conceptual stage ​in 2018, ‍shortly after the release of Fallout 76.
​ ⁣ Though, ‌details about​ the game ⁢have been scarce as then. Bethesda has ‌prioritized other projects, most notably Starfield, which launched in⁢ September⁣ 2023.

The lack of updates has fueled speculation and impatience among fans. Howard’s recent comments suggest Bethesda underestimated the challenges of developing a game⁣ of this ​scale and the impact of‌ an⁢ early announcement.

Starfield‘s Impact⁣ on The Elder Scrolls 6 Development

⁢ ‍ Bethesda’s ‌focus on Starfield, a massive open-world RPG set⁤ in space, likely diverted resources and personnel from The Elder⁤ scrolls 6.⁢
‌ ‍ ⁤
Starfield represented a new intellectual property for Bethesda, requiring significant⁢ investment in ⁢world-building, technology, and gameplay systems.

‌​ ⁤ The development of Starfield also allowed Bethesda to refine its Creation Engine 2, which will ⁢also be used ‌for The Elder scrolls 6.
⁤ ‌ ⁢ This suggests that while‍ Starfield delayed the release of its​ fantasy counterpart, it also laid the groundwork⁤ for a more advanced and⁣ polished experience.

What We Know‍ (and⁢ Don’t know)​ About The Elder Scrolls 6

However,‌ speculation points towards High Rock and Hammerfell as potential locations, ​based on clues and hints dropped ⁣by Bethesda over the years.
