![]() Given that “The Elder Scrolls 6” is still in pre-production and won’t receive any additional attention until after Starfield is released, it’s feasible that Skyrim fans won’t get their sequel until the late 2020s. ![]() “They do take a while… we’re trying as hard as we can, but we want them to be as best as they can be for everybody,” Howard said.īecause Starfield has been pushed back from 2022 to 2023, it will have been in development for more than seven years and out of pre-production for more than five. Howard assured fans that he feels their pain, saying, “I wish came out faster, I really do…” The unfortunate reality is that AAA video games-especially with advancing technology and graphical complexity-require a long development cycle, a fact further touched on by Howard. Howard revealed that “The Elder Scrolls 6”, which was placed on hold to focus on Starfield, is still in pre-production four years after it was first announced in an interview that also confirmed the existence of Fallout 5. Unfortunately, according to Bethesda’s Todd Howard, who recently spoke with IGN, the long wait for “The Elder Scrolls 6” could be even longer than previously thought. ![]() This past weekend, Starfield finally released gameplay footage, but many “Elder Scrolls 6” fans were left disappointed. ![]() The Bethesda logo and scary pictures of space were all it took to get fans interested in exploring the universe with the tried-and-true Bethesda gameplay model. Starfield was announced in the same year as “Elder Scrolls 6” and in a similar manner. Instead, Bethesda Softworks has devoted a significant amount of time and resources to Starfield, the studio’s highly anticipated space adventure that has been compared to Fallout or Skyrim in space. There have been more “Elder Scrolls 6” leaks since then, including information on the game’s claimed geography and political structures, but no new official material has emerged. “The Elder Scrolls 6” was first revealed in 2018 with a teaser trailer that displayed a basic title on a mountainous setting. My previous RPG experience was Ultima IX and I feel Elder Scrolls nicely picked up on the open world, totally immersive experience that was Ultima IX (and yes fortunately with fewer bugs).Todd Howard has come forward after “The Elder Scrolls 6” was a no-show at the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase this past weekend, confirming some of the fans’ worst worries about the game’s current state of production. My only 2 slight let downs were that there was very limited character speech outside the main cut scenes and we never get to see the silt striders moving (And still not in ESO Morrowind!). High replayability - you can't just play one character. different styles of play - you could be totally barbaric almost purely weapons based, you could sneak around with invisibility potions, spells and enchantments or you go the route of full on battlemage. The game while still being structured is not at all linear, having multiple routes to go. Almost every quest had 2 totally different ways of doing it - like you could fight your way through a whole cave or you could levitate in the back entrance. Each guild / house had multiple quest paths to victory. choices, choices, choices - so many guilds, so many races, so many houses and you could only finish one house (without a major jump back in your save games) with each character. You had instructions like "travel North out of Balmoral and take the right fork in the road and look for a cave on the left". What most drew me in and why I still love Elder Scrolls 3 so much is: - there was a genuine quest element where you had to read the journal clues and figure them out (this was when it wasn't that easy to access internet by using your phone or tabbing out). Other than looking back and being shocked at how primitive the graphics were the richness and playability of the world did not disappoint. I started with Morrowind - buying it on a whim when I saw it marked down and not knowing anything about it (was trying to get over the disappointment at my copy of Everquest not working - someone had stolen the key).Īnd boy was I not disappointed. Wow I'm surprised to see that so many players have experience beyond Skyrim.
