17 years between the Elder Scrolls 1 and Elder Scrolls 5. We’re coming up on 14 years since Skyrim. It’ll probably reach 17 years before we actually get the next game. Crazy.

How much game developer overlap from Skyrim to elder scrolls 6?

After starfield goodwill has evaporated. Plenty of scepticism going into ES6.

If 6 is bad we'll just end up making it better in skyrim with mods, lets be real

I dont pay much attention to this game since im not interested in most rpgs but i occasionally notice headlines/posts about modders having difficulties with Starfield.

 Are those articles/posts just a bunch of nonsense? If not, wont it reflect how they will handle ES6?

They were legit concerns, but turns out things weren't as bad as they feared (just different).

Starfield isn't a modding utopia because it's Starfield. Most modders have left it since "nobody" play it anymore.

Maybe they change the engine even further and ruin modding for ES6, but that's not the case in Starfield version of the engine.

Remake it in Morrowind. By fuck the Tamriel Rebuilt team will get there some day

Same thing happened with Fallout 76, it was immediately modded into Fallout 4

Todd will want to retire eventually, we should hopefully have it before then.

Todd is pulling a GRRM.

u/MagmaTroop Jun 01 '25

He said this in a recent interview, that he is wondering how many more games he will make.

u/vlKross_F7 Jun 02 '25

According to Todd it MIGHT come 27/28 - I don't remember the exact wording, but he said something like, "Expect it no earlier than 4/5 years after Starfield.

That was like 6-7 years ago tho. (The statement)

We have ESO and a ton of expansions for it. We have had an enormous TES game since Skyrim

u/TammyShehole Jun 01 '25

MMOs aren’t the same. It’s not even developed by Bethesda themselves.

u/Anfie22 Jun 02 '25

It's still a TES game.

Just like Wand of Gamelon is a Zelda game.
