With the Fallout live-action show now out and honestly far better than I was expecting, are Bethesda also brewing an adaptation of their other big RPG series, The Elder Scrolls? Not at present, according to Bethesda executive producer Todd Howard, and he says he'd "probably say no" if approached. Mind you, that was the stance he had until Fallout finally fell into place.
Bethesda Gives Update on Elder Scrolls 6 Development
25.03.2024 - 19:57 / gamerant.com / Elder Scrolls / John Bonelli
In celebrating 30 years since the beginning of its iconic fantasy RPG franchise The Elder Scrolls, Bethesda has shared a small tidbit for fans eagerly awaiting The Elder Scrolls 6. Bethesda Game Studios recently released its space-faring sci-fi RPG, Starfield, just last year. Starfield's Shattered Space DLC is also being worked on and is expected to release sometime this year.
This June will mark a whopping six years since the first CGI announcement trailer for The Elder Scrolls 6 on Bethesda's E3 2018 stage. The very brief trailer consisted of a single sweeping shot across a vast fantasy landscape with The Elder Scrolls 6's logo appearing at the end. Since there hasn't been any official word from Bethesda on it since, many fans of the franchise feel like the sixth major Elder Scrolls installment was revealed far too early. Now that Starfield is out the door, Bethesda Game Studios has shifted its main focus towards production of The Elder Scrolls 6 and fans are finally getting ready to learn more in the coming years.
Celebrating 30 years of The Elder Scrolls, Bethesda Game Studios put out a Twitter post celebrating its beloved fantasy franchise. The post took fans on a look back at each mainline title, highlighting the ways fans are able to replay them all these years later. Additionally, Bethesda brought up The Elder Scrolls Online and its mobile spin-off The Elder Scrolls: Castles, expressing excitement about what awaits for both titles. Perhaps most notably, the post concluded with mention of The Elder Scrolls 6, noting that the development team is playing «early builds» of the game. As it was a small update embedded in a post focusing on the franchise's 30th anniversary, nothing further was divulged about the hotly anticipated sixth Elder Scrolls title.
Considering The Elder Scrolls 6 had only just left pre-production earlier this month, there's still a very long way to go until the game reaches the finish line. It's likely the case that Bethesda Game Studios has small portions of the game that are semi-playable without asset textures or polish, and that it'll be several years before the team is playing builds that'll resemble the final product. Though, knowing that a chunk of Starfield's development was spent upgrading the Creation Engine, The Elder Scrolls 6 may not take as long.
Fans will most likely have another two-to-three year wait before being able to expect Bethesda to show off any slices of The Elder Scrolls 6. That's not to say another CGI trailer confirming the game's official name isn't on track to drop sooner rather than later. Nevertheless, fans of Bethesda should keep an eye on Xbox's confirmed June showcase for word on other exciting Bethesda games, like Indiana Jones and the Great
