The Elder Scrolls VI säilyttänee useitakin Skyrimin ominaisuuksia

The Elder Scrolls VI on tulossa, mutta vasta joskus useiden vuosien kuluttua. Kehitystyö on saatu toden teolla käyntiin nyt, kun Starfield on saatu uunista ulos.

Bethesdan suunnittelusta vastaava eli "design director" Bruce Nesmith lähti firmasta vuonna 2021 ja siirtyi fantasiakirjojen kirjoittajaksi. Nesmithia haastatteli MinnMax. Nesmithin mukaan The Elder Scrolls VI tulee sisältämään hänen kädenjälkeään peleistä The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion ja The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Erityisesti taika, sen käyttö ja hahmonkehitys ovat perua Skyrimilta. Jonkin pelisarjan täydellinen uudistuminen saattaa vaatia kolme eri kierrosta (eli siis kolme peliä).

The Elder Scrolls VI on oletettavasti tulossa PC:lle ja Xboxille, ja mahdollisesti aikaisintaan vuonna 2026.

"What will probably come through, because you can see it in the history of the game, is things that were developed in Oblivion and in Skyrim will be further developed in The Elder Scrolls 6. I don't know what they will be, but you will find my fingerprints on many of those things."

"The whole magic system for Skyrim, that I persuaded Todd to let me throw the baby and the bathwater and start from scratch, and he trusted me enough to do that, there will probably still be traces of that in 6. The whole 'you do it to get better at it', while that was not my unique idea, I had a large hand in that - that's absolutely going to continue. A lot of the concepts dealing with how you level, things like that - there'll be a bunch of new ideas thrown in, but I'm betting some of the stuff I worked on will still survive."

"And you can't throw away everything, you can't keep everything, you can't update everything, you've got to have something in all three of those buckets, you know. But three iterations down the road one of those buckets may be empty from what it was like three versions earlier."
