With a teaser video showing off some little hints about the game that many were quick to analyze, we were taken over a desk strewn with books, notes, a map, a compass, and a typewriter featuring the name of the developer Machine Games - who are known for working on the Wolfenstein series. The Indiana Jones game was definitely one of the biggest surprises to kickstart the beginning of 2021. We can only speculate on what the next adventure, but just like Elder Scrolls 6, it's exciting to know it will be coming in the future. Back in 2021, Howard also said that Fallout is part of the studios DNA and confirmed that there's a one-pager on Fallout 5 outlining what they want to do. In an interview with IGN (opens in new tab) in 2022, Howard confirmed that Fallout 5 will come after Elder Scrolls 6, which is still in pre-production.

We don't yet know much about what our return to the post-apocalyptic world will look like, and it'll likely be a long time before we find out. In fact, even before it was addressed by Todd Howard, seeing a Fallout 5 some day felt inevitable given the success of Fallout 4 and the entries that came before it. Fallout 5Īs one of the longest-running IPs now owned by Bethesda, another Fallout entry has always been on the cards. Still, just knowing it's on the way is exciting in and of itself, and we can hardly wait to see what's in store for us when Elder Scrolls returns. Earlier in 2022, a LinkedIn profile suggested the project is still in the pre-production phase, so it's a safe bet that it will be quite a long time before we see or learn anything more about it.

First announced with a short teaser officially confirming its existence with a title reveal back in 2018 (opens in new tab), very little is known about Elder Scrolls 6 as the team's main focus has been on Starfield for the past few years. With so much love for Elder Scrolls out there among players, it's no surprise that another instalment is in the works. Let's just get it all out there and let everybody know what we're doing.'īethesda's E3 press conference - while not delivering on soon-to-be-released projects - was arguably the biggest event it has hosted since it started running its own press conference in 2015.Over the last decade, Skyrim has enjoyed immense success, with the fantasy RPG finding its way onto almost every platform imaginable over the years. Howard said: 'Our fans find a lot of things we're doing and they want to know - we decided to be upfront and say 'This is what we're doing' because we're excited about it. The decision to speak about releases that are admittedly quite a way off was due to Howard and co wanting to be open with its fans about what Bethesda had coming up. 'Starfield is playable, Elder Scrolls VI, not in that way yet.' It's a game we've been making for a while,' Howard said.

'I would say Elder Scrolls VI is in pre-production, and Starfield is in production. The project is in fact only in pre-production at the moment.īy contrast, Bethesda's other big RPG title Starfield is playable, despite the game only being teased at its E3 conference. Speaking to industry personality Geoff Keighley, Bethesda Games' director Todd Howard said that The Elder Scrolls VI had been in the works now for some time, but that it was not playable yet. It might be a while before we see the latest entry in Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls franchise hitting shelves.
