The Elder Scrolls 6<\/a><\/p>\n

While we already know it’s going to be a while before The Elder Scrolls 6 is released, it appears it may be a bit longer than we have hoped.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Bethesda Games Studios director Todd Howard, The Elder Scrolls 6<\/strong> is still currently<\/a> in the “design” stage and it will build on the Creation Engine 2, which is being used to develop Starfield.<\/p>\n

The next TES game will also “have some additions” on the engine.<\/p>\n

“The technology, Creation Engine 2, is sort of built for both [games],” Howard told The Telegraph<\/a>. “It’s like a new tech base. The vast majority of our development work is on Starfield right now but everybody works on everything so the projects kind of intertwine.<\/p>\n

“It’s good to think of The Elder Scrolls 6 as still being in a design [phase]… but we’re checking the tech: ‘Is this going to handle the things we want to do in that game?’ Every game will have some new suites of technology so Elder Scrolls 6 will have some additions on to Creation Engine 2 that that game is going to require.”<\/p>\n

TES 6 was first revealed at E3 2018<\/a> which is out of character for Bethesda to announce a game so far out; however, the studio wanted to assure fans it was in the works.<\/p>\n

Zero details on the game<\/a> have been provided, only that it is being designed to be played for a decade or more<\/a>, and that work won’t fully start on it until Starfield is out the door, which Bethesda says will be released in November 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As we’ve said before, take your time, we can wait. As long as the game is released before the rapture hits, we’ll remain patient.<\/p>\n
