Todd Howard wants to avoid putting dates on Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5
But the game director has reiterated that Bethesda’s next game will be a new Elder Scrolls
Todd Howard has provided an update on the different games currently in development at Bethesda Game Studios.
The game director has previously stated on a number of occasions that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be Bethesda’s next release, followed by Fallout 5.
During an interview with IGN, he was asked if that’s still the case, or if the success of the new Fallout TV show could lead to a change of plan.
“I’m going to avoid putting dates on anything. I’ve learned that the hard way,” he responded. “So obviously, our focus as far as new development right now is Elder Scrolls 6, but that doesn’t mean that we’re not making plans for other things.
“We’re still doing a lot of work, obviously on Fallout 76, and we see the community, so many people going into that game and kind of rediscovering it and just so happy with where that game is at. It really does, and I mean, this has one of the best communities in all of gaming.
“Surprisingly, it’s a very, very nice apocalypse, and we’re doing a lot of Starfield work as well” he added. “So we have some really good updates that are going to get announced soon for that game. So, a lot going on here.”
Bethesda recently said it plans to roll out significant new features and fixes for Starfield roughly every six weeks.
Amazon‘s Fallout TV show will return for a second season, the company announced today.
The buzz around the show has helped drive a massive increase in Fallout game sales, with four titles charting in the European top 10 last week.
