Whereas all of the outdated and busted Elder Scrolls followers (all my coworkers) are excited and popping bottles round at this time’s The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remake stream and shadow drop, these with an eye fixed for the long run could also be glad to be taught that Todd Howard took time to acknowledge that The Elder Scrolls 6 nonetheless exists! He was even so daring as to state that the group was engaged on it.
The complete quote, acknowledged forward of a plentiful feast of Oblivion Remaster information and pictures, is as follows: “clearly we’re engaged on the sixth chapter right here”.
Wow. Unbelievable. That is the largest data drop we have had for The Elder Scrolls 6 since March 2024, when Bethesda confirmed that early builds of ES6 had been out within the wild for testers to fiddle with. They had been even so beneficiant as to trace on the recreation being enjoyable, which y’know, you’d definitely hope so.
Earlier than that, in fact, we had the scorching replace courtesy of a former Skyrim designer, who mentioned that we should not count on an replace on ES6 till six months earlier than launch. That was in October 2023. Solely a month earlier than that Phil Spencer mentioned that he believed ES6 was inside 5 years of it is launch date! This sounded a contact comical on the time, however lo and behold, we’re nearing two years since he mentioned it and there is nonetheless treasured little to go on.
It is value noting that when it comes to precise, concrete updates from Bethesda, there’s been crickets for years. Again in August 2023, the corporate confirmed improvement had began, roughly 5 years after the announcement throughout E3. I could also be going out on a limb right here, and be at liberty to name me nuts for suggesting as a lot, however do you reckon they might have introduced the sport a contact too early?
Hear, all joking and snark apart, it is good to see no less than a faint signal of life from Elder Scrolls 6. It has been so lengthy. I used to be nonetheless at college when Elder Scrolls 6 was introduced, and now I am an grownup with payments and dangerous habits and courting apps on my cellphone. Bethesda, in all probability nonetheless probably the most acclaimed first individual RPG developer on the market, I am positive will do a cracking job at it. Similar to, launch some artwork or one thing? Liam Neeson had extra concrete proof his daughter was alive in Taken than Elder Scrolls followers have for this recreation being actual.
Tell us beneath if you really feel something anymore, and the way a lot scholar mortgage debt I will have by the point Elder Scrolls 6 comes out!
