The Elder Scrolls 6 will be a decade-long game, Todd Howard talks about

Since its announcement in 2018, The Elder Scrolls 6 is certainly one of the most anticipated titles of these years, the sixth chapter of the successful fantasy series if not the most popular in the world of video games, but the road is still long and Todd Howard from Bethesda he went back to talking about the importance of the project and how it should be a title that will be talked about and will play for 10 years.

One of the reasons that has slowed down the work on the title by a lot is Starfield, a project on which the software house is spending a lot of time and resources in order to obtain the best possible results, exploiting technologies that can then also be used for the development of the fantasy game.

In an interview, Howard talked about how the love of the public towards the predecessor Skyrim, of which the new edition for the tenth anniversary has been released these days, has influenced how the studio has approached the development of the sequel.

In the realization, The Elder Scrolls 6, according to the man, it will have to be one of those titles that will have to be played for a decade, to maintain the expectations that the public has had since its predecessor. Not a small undertaking, it must be acknowledged.

As for the progress currently being made with the project, Todd Howard did not share any detailslet alone what it will offer The Elder Scrolls 6 or when we get to see something more. But while the team is currently maximizing their efforts to bring to the community Starfield, the fantasy game remains a priority for the software house.

There is this weird exercise that I like to do: I go back to reading an old review of the first Elder Scrolls, then passing through Oblivion and finally Skyrim. But although there are a couple of things that you forget, that seem to repeat themselves, then you get out of it and the feeling is so real. People change, technology changes, but the ultimate goal is to make TES6, so that when you start the game it feels like you’ve been transported to another place.
