Bethesda pledges to a single player, but "Be patient" for Elder Scrolls 6, Bosses Say

Bethesda usually plays his cards near the vest, but he described some long-range plans at E3 2018 by announcing both the long-rumored Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6. With both games at the # Horizon, Producer Todd Howard and Marketing Boss Pete Hines engages his studios in solo experiments, but he again urges patience in the same breath.

"We've been talking about this for a decade, we started to put things on paper five or six years ago, and the active development took place when we finished Fallout 4, so two and a half, three years ", said Howard at the Guardian. "Everyone should be very patient [for Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6]."

The most immediate release will be Fallout 76, which is a multiplayer game still online. That said, solo games are not going anywhere in Bethesda's corporate culture. "The solo player is always one thing, he could continue to grow or evolve, but that's part of who we are, and we still think there's room for success," Hines said. "That does not mean we have to keep doing things the way we did five or ten years ago – we need to continue to change the way we do it."

Howard added that he understands the concerns of the players The games of players are becoming less and less important, and they say that it would interest him too.

"The games have become so big and interesting that they have gone beyond the stage of toys and entertainment," he said. "It's not just a distraction from their usual life, for a lot of people it's becoming an important part of their lives, I think we're seeing that in a lot of games now, where people get their joy and their personal pride of the time they spend. Spend in them … The games are unique, they can put you in a place, they carry you, that 's why we have always done big stuff in open world: that' s what it is. a game is doing really well. we love storytelling, we love art, but we say, "look what we did from the game," that is, day-to-day, week-to-week, the most rewarding.

All of this means that the long-term plans of the company are fairly well established, echoing what we have heard before. In June, Howard told us that he already knew the release date of Elder Scrolls 6, but that it would be "silly" to say it now.
