One user on Reddit caught a glimpse of an easter egg in the E3 2021 Starfield trailer which shows an etching of a location from The Elder Scrolls, indicating the next setting for the next game may be in Hammerfell. Until we get more information about the next installment in the franchise, the endless speculation will continue. So if you’re coming at me for details now and not years from now, I’m failing to properly manage your expectations. It’s after Starfield, which you pretty much know nothing about.

And, considering at this time there was no information out about Starfield, fans were already locked into a long wait. Back in May 2020, Pete Hines replied to a fan on Twitter stating that news would not come until after Starfield is released. As usual, Bethesda wants to wait until Starfield is almost ready before showing anything concrete, like how they’ve done before with Fallout 4 and DOOM.įans will have to wait a while longer for news on The Elder Scrolls VI if these comments are anything to go by. Todd Howard stated seven months ago that it would be difficult to imagine not releasing The Elder Scrolls 6 on multiple platforms.
THE ELDER SCROLLS VI SPECULATION PC
But, Bethesda has given us little to no information about the state of The Elder Scrolls VI, reiterating that the focus is sorely on the upcoming sci-fi RPG, which is due out in 2022. Starfield was announced as an Xbox and PC exclusive at E3 2021, which has heightened speculation about whether or not Elder Scrolls 6 will be unknown to PS5 players. With Starfield briefly being shown at E3 2021, Bethesda has opened up a bit about its current status. The vast majority of our development work is on Starfield right now but everybody works on everything so the projects kind of intertwine.” High Rock, home to the Bretons and Orcs, is made up of multiple kingdoms that are typically in an uneasy peace with each other. If we’re placing our bets now, we’d say High Rock will probably be the setting of The Elder Scrolls VI. “The technology, Creation Engine 2, is sort of built for both ,” Howard said. Its entirely possible that ES6 will go back in the timeline similarly to ESO, or forward 200 years like Skyrim. Howard assured fans in the interview that the time spent working on the next RPG title Starfield will, in turn, lead to a better development process of The Elder Scrolls VI. “It’s good to think of The Elder Scrolls 6 as still being in a design … 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 to Creation Engine 2 that that game is going to require,” Howard said. Along with examining the landscape in the trailer and how it compares to the regions of Tamriel, a major part of the speculation centered around.
THE ELDER SCROLLS VI SPECULATION UPDATE
Howard was sure to taper expectations about when the next update can be expected, saying that The Elder Scrolls VI is still in the design phase. When it was first announced by Bethesda back at E3 2018, very little concrete info was given about The Elder Scrolls VI, but that didnt stop people from wondering where the next game would take place. Of course, anywhere that Todd Howard goes, questions about the next installment in The Elder Scrolls series are to follow. In an interview with The Telegraph, Todd Howard spoke about directing at Bethesda, and how many games at Bethesda are made.
