Todd Howard has provided an update on the different games currently in development at Bethesda Game Studios.
The Elder Scrolls Celebrates 30th Anniversary, Gives a Small Update on TES 6 | Push Square
31.03.2024 - 01:14 / pushsquare.com / Todd Howard
It's officially been 30 years since the release of The Elder Scrolls: Arena, if you can believe it. The MS-DOS title first launched on the 25th March, 1994, and spawned what would eventually become one of the most successful RPG franchises ever made.
Of course, it wasn't until The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion that the series arrived on PlayStation — all the way back in 2007. But for a lot of people, it was The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim that really put Bethesda's fantastical property on the map. The seemingly evergreen title is still popular today, despite having arrived over 12 years ago (although it has had the benefit of numerous re-releases!).
It's crazy to think that 2011's Skyrim was the last mainline Elder Scrolls title. Almost any other franchise would have capitalised on that kind of success as quickly as possible, but fans still find themselves waiting for the next instalment.
On that note, we know The Elder Scrolls 6 is coming — but it's definitely a question of when and, at least for PlayStation, how. Given everything that's been happening with Microsoft recently, it's possible that Bethesda's latest games will end up on consoles not called Xbox, but let's face it, we won't be hearing much about The Elder Scrolls 6 for quite some time yet.
«Yes, we are in development on the next chapter,» Bethesda reiterates. «Even now, returning to Tamriel and playing early builds has us filled with the same joy, excitement, and promise of adventure.»
Are you a big Elder Scrolls fan? Dare we ask if you still play Skyrim? Are you hopeful that The Elder Scrolls 6 will eventually come to PlayStation? Post a good Todd Howard meme in the comments section below.
Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.
I stand by that Bethesda is a garbage developer so Xbox can keep this.
Skyrim bored me senseless. Seemed like a real step-down from Oblivion, and that's before we mention the catastrophic PS3 launch.
Still enjoying ESO but I'd love a return to an Oblivion-esque single-player adventure.
I really enjoyed oblivion and Skyrim, but after playing the witcher 3, I tried playing the PS5 edition of Skyrim and couldn't get into it. Hopefully they evolve the next game because if not it's going to feel outdated.
After Starfield, I don't know if I even trust Bethesda to make a good follow-up to Skyrim at this point.
@Americansamurai1 I've had similar thoughts.
The bar for RPGs has been raised massively in the last ten years.
If Bethesda don't

Is Fallout 76 Worth Playing in 2024? | Push Square
If, like us, you’ve been watching the new Fallout show on Amazon Prime, then you’ve likely turned to PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium to download or stream one of Bethesda’s iconic RPGs. For us, we skirted the much-beloved Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3, instead venturing off into West Virginia in Fallout 76. Notoriously panned upon its initial launch, Todd Howard’s “Fallout with friends” is a different beast six years on. But does that mean the game is any good? And is it worth playing in 2024?

Bethesda would "probably say no" to an Elder Scrolls show or movie
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.
