We know next to nothing about The Elder Scrolls 6. Still, Bethesda is seriously upping the ante with this huge claim, heralding a legendary game.

With Skyrim, Bethesda impacted millions of gamers and revolutionized the role-playing genre. The studio intends to repeat this performance with Starfield and we will know very soon if it succeeded, the game coming out on September 6 on PC and Xbox. If the space adventure is at the heart of all concerns and benefits from a nice spotlight at Gamescom, it is an even more anticipated game that Todd Howard has just mentioned: The Elder Scrolls 6.

The Elder Scrolls 6 is talking about him again, it looks huge

The very verbose Todd Howard once again took the floor to discuss the productions of Bethesda. This time, it is with GQ that the man gives himself up and to evoke an extremely awaited title: The Elder Scrolls 6. The executive producer knows how to choose his words to raise the hype, since he explains that Bethesda simply wants make RPG’ the ultimate open world fantasy simulator “.

Todd Howard adds that there are multiple ways to achieve this goal, but obviously doesn’t say more about what Bethesda is up to. This should still be enough to make players shiver, who expect no less after an absolutely legendary Skyrim and a Starfield that also seems able to be. Will the American studio still manage to pass a milestone in the freedom offered to players, in the wealth of content available and integrate new features capable of revolutionizing the genre? Given that the popularity and success of Western open-world RPGs has exploded in recent years, it will take at least that much for The Elder Scrolls 6 to make history and become that famous ultimate game.

Did Bethesda have eyes bigger than their stomachs?

On top of that, the studio strongman delivers a funny answer when asked if The Elder Scrolls 6 wasn’t announced too early. ” I have often asked myself the question. I don’t know. I probably would have done it in a more classic way “, he explains. Recall that the RPG was first unveiled at E3 2018 and five years later we know almost nothing about it. TES 6 would even still be in pre-production, so you will have to be patient.

If we are to believe the words of Phil Spencer, the vice-president of the gaming branch of Microsoft, the game could be released in 2028. Regarding a potential exclusivity, he preferred to kick in touch last June, when he was questioned on the subject during the lawsuit between Microsoft and the FTC.
