Friends, there is trouble a-brewing down the radioactive watering hole. While Amazon's Fallout TV adaptation has launched to pretty positive verdicts, a contingent of Fallout players are up in arms over its portrayal of the Fallout timeline. In particular, it's being claimed that the show has written the events of Obsidian's Fallout: New Vegas out of the canon, despite reassurances from Bethesda Game Studios design director Emil Pagliarulo.

The Elder Scrolls VI Early Builds Are Being Played Right Now at Bethesda
26.03.2024 - 11:49 / wccftech.com / Todd Howard / Alessio Palumbo
We've already known for a while thanks to former Bethesda Head of Publishing Pete Hines that The Elder Scrolls VI had at long last entered early development. The news was shared just as Starfield was about to launch.
Around seven months later, Bethesda dropped another tidbit regarding the progress of the massively anticipated open world RPG. The occasion was the 30th anniversary of the franchise (The Elder Scrolls Arena launched on March 25, 1994 for MS-DOS). In a message shared on the studio's official Twitter account, Bethesda reminisced about the achievements of the previous installments in the franchise (including The Elder Scrolls Online, which is also celebrating its 10th anniversary this year). At the very end, they revealed that early builds of The Elder Scrolls VI are already filling the developers 'with the same joy, excitement, and promise of adventure' that has defined the series so far.

The main takeaway here is that the game is already playable in some form despite being very early in its development period. Certainly, the fact that this isn't a new IP or setting must have helped. Bethesda admitted that creating a whole galaxy for Starfield was troublesome at first, as it had to deal with a lot of new things, chiefly spaceship flight and spaceship combat. None of that will be a problem for The Elder Scrolls VI, allowing the developers to hit the ground running.
We don't know much about the sixth mainline installment in the fantasy RPG series. It was announced alongside Starfield at E3 2018 when Bethesda sought to assuage fans that it would not abandon single player games following the release of Fallout 76.
In a pre-launch Starfield interview, series director Todd Howard claimed Bethesda wants to make the ultimate fantasy world simulator, teasing that there are different ways to accomplish such a feat with the long time passed from the previous entry, the megahit Skyrim. The Elder Scrolls VI will undoubtedly use a more advanced version of the engine seen in Starfield.
As for the setting, rumors suggest it may be Hammerfell, home of the human race known as Redguards, descendants of the inhabitants of the lost continent of Yokuda. If that's the case, the large Alik'r desert region will likely be featured prominently in the game.
Right now, the best guesstimate puts the launch of The Elder Scrolls Vi around 2027 or 2028. Strap in - we're here for the long haul.

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.

The Fallout TV show has revived an ancient argument about Vault Boy's thumb
Last week I went to a screening of Amazon and Bethesda's Fallout TV show, a spin-off yarn starring Ella Purnell (who voiced Jinx in the Arcane Netflix adaptation) as a recently surfaced Vault Dweller, scouring the irradiated wastelands for [SPOILERS REDACTED]. It's early days, but the show's first two episodes didn't make a massive impression on me, though I will concede that the sight of Amazon's branding on Fallout's infamous Please Stand By emergency broadcast titlecard makes a dangerous amount of sense.

Star Wars Outlaws Is Out on August 30, Pre-Orders Are Now Open
As we had correctly surmised, the Star Wars Outlaws story trailer also brought the release date announcement. The game is indeed launching sooner than originally thought (Disney had previously hinted at late 2024), being slated for August 30; however, that's also a bit later than some fans were hoping for, as some had even speculated the game could have launched on May the 4th.
