![]() ![]() There is a chance (no matter how small) that they end up thinking about all those Elder Scrolls 6 copies they could sell to PlayStation 5 gamers and eventually decide to port the game to other platforms. The Elder Scrolls, meanwhile, is one of the most established and successful RPG franchises in gaming. That said, you have to remember that Starfield is a new IP, which Microsoft may be more willing to treat as an exclusive. Granted, it’s a little sad that it feels like The Elder Scrolls 6 somehow manages to dominate the conversation whenever Starfield comes up, but considering what the Elder Scrolls franchise means to millions (and the incredible financial success of Skyrim) it’s hardly a surprise that so many people seem to be wondering what every new piece of Starfield info tells us about The Elder Scrolls 6.Īs for whether or not The Elder Scrolls 6 will also be a firm Xbox/PC exclusive…well, that’s honestly still up for some debate.Īt the moment, most industry reporters and insiders are betting that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be a true Xbox/PC exclusive. We know that Bethesda wants you to play it for a long time, we can make some reasonable guesses regarding its setting, but that’s about it. It’s been three years since Bethesda shocked the world by revealing the first Elder Scrolls 6 trailer at E3 2018, and we haven’t exactly learned much about the game since then. Starfield is expected to release in early 2023, having been delayed from its 11th November release date.While Starfield kicked off Xbox’s massive E3 2021 showcase with a brand-new trailer, release date (November 11, 2022), and confirmation that the sci-fi RPG will be an Xbox/PC exclusive title at launch, it’s hardly a surprise that so many people are already asking what all of this information means for The Elder Scrolls 6. Bethesda revealed a lot of gameplay over the weekend, revealing the narrative that has you hunting down artefacts scattered across the many planets you can visit, showcasing the action packed shooter combat, the fully customisable starship and base building, and plenty more. Mark your calendars for 2033, in other words.Īt least we’ll have Starfield to keep us occupied for a good long while. That’s not including unforeseen production delays, as well. ![]() ![]() It could be four or five years before ES6 is shipped and Bethesda can shift focus to full production of Fallout 5, and then another five years. So, even expecting Bethesda to have a greater, more singular focus on Elder Scrolls 6 after Starfield’s 2023 release, modern games are taking longer to produce and require more resources to create. Now, they could pass the project on to another developer – Fallout: New Vegas is one of the best loved games in the series and was developed by fellow Xbox company Obsidian Entertainment – but they don’t want to do that. “I wish they came out faster, I really do, we’re trying as hard as we can, but we want them to be as best as they can be for everybody.” Even so, Howard acknowledged that games are taking Bethesda Game Studios longer to produce. “They do take a while,” he said. Work on Starfield started in late 2015, Howard has confirmed, but it’s never as simple as saying that it’s been in development for 7 years, given how production swells, grows and changes over time. Obviously there is significant overlap between games as they go from pre-production to full production, as games are supported with major expansions or require dramatic crash courses of bug fixes and improvements in Fallout 76’s, and as they are overhauled for VR ( Skyrim and Fallout 4). Since releasing Skyrim in 2011 (and 2016, and 20), Bethesda released Fallout 4 in late 2015, the multiplayer offshoot Fallout 76 in 2018, and has now had Starfield as the main focus for the last few years. The rate at which Bethesda has been able to produce games has lengthened significantly over the last generation. So, that’s nice to have such lofty aspirations, and maybe we’ll see the game released within our lifetimes. It makes explicit what people generally assumed would be the case for the studio, considering that Howard said in late 2021 that they have “a one-pager on Fallout 5, what we want to do.” ![]()
