I dont believe this for one second.

That said, my bet is that it will be a cross gen ps4/ps5 generation game.

After Fallout 4, and after initial release, thud....Bethesda really needs to re-imagine their model. With games like Witcher 3 out there....they have alot to live up to now.
 
Well, I can tell you that Skyrim VR sucks so don't get your hopes up about that either.
 
With ES Online still going relatively strong, I think thy will wait for next gen to be honest. It’s unfortunate and I have no interest in the Fallout world.
 
It's a next-gen game. Todd implied that the current consoles weren't powerful enough to handle what they want to do with TES:VI. He said that "the tech isn't here".
 
I can wait if they are making that rumoured Starfield game, with Mass Effect gone there just isn't anything like it anymore.

sure it is. tes VI, at a blazing

  • 10 frames per second for vanilla xb1/ps4
  • 20 frames per second for xb1x/ps4p
  • 30 fps for the eventual next gen port
like a bad framerate has ever stopped them before
 
Probably not. GTA6 certainly won't happen. We get RDR2 next year, it would take easily 3 years after minimum for them be able to release GTA6 without delays as all the same people are involved in both. It took that long between RDR and GTA5 and now RDR2 is coming out 5 years after GTA5. This gen was pretty bad.

To think it took them 8 years to make a sequel to RDR, a mega popular game. These big games take a lot of time to make.
 
I'm more than willing to "suffer" through a more heavy sci-fi title as the new IP (Starfield?) is rumored to be (as opposed to the sort of retro-futurism post-apocalyptic setting Fallout has) before getting Elder Scrolls VI.

If Starfield releases in the next two years, that's more than enough to carry for awhile before a new Elder Scrolls. Not that I don't a new TES game, but if you want continued content in the meantime, there's always TESO I guess, besides whatever you want to mod into Skyrim. And it if releases close to Cyberpunk 2077, dear god.
 
there will be a non TES game from them this gen. Next tes is probably way after next gen starts. 2021 at the soonest, I feel. I am pessimistic as heck tho.
 
what I love about Bethesda is they can announce a game and say it's coming out in the same year, they don't hype their games for 3 years
 
Have to wonder where this next location is going to be if they claim the tech isn't there to handle it. Valenwood and its moving tree-cities might make sense?

I'd prefer Elsweyr or Black Marsh through. An open world full mostly of talking cats of lizards would be great.

It's an interesting strategy, letting TESO keep the brand going during this timeframe. I want to interested in it, but I hear it's improved a lot and revisiting Morrowind is enticing.

Feels like we're headed for 10 year dev cycles for a few of these franchises. That just seems wildly unsustainable because how do you even manage a project over that much time successfully?

It's kinda depressing when you count the Witcher, Grand Theft Auto, and Elder Scrolls among your favorite franchises but you only care about the single player portion.
 
The Witcher and BOTW raised the bar. They are going to have to come with something stronger than their leaky ass modified Morrowind engine next time. I hope they take their time.
 
It's one of those games I have less and less interest in as this industry is going further to shit with each passing month. I honestly think whenever TES6 is gonna be released, I'm not part of the target audience anymore. I would be if it would be a traditional single-player offline game with no microtransactions and bullshit dlc. But we all know it's gonna be the exact opposite.
 
The Elder Scrolls VI. Next gen only.

Not before 2022 at the very soonest.

Nintendo will release the next main Zelda on Switch (using BotW's engine) well before TES VI is out.
 
Releasing in the same year the next gen launched proved to be a very good strategy for GTA V and catered for ports and double dipping a year or two later on the new gen, I wouldn't be surprised to see something like that happen to a few more big AAA games with an intended long lifespan this time around.
 
I don't think it's coming out this generation, and I think that's a very good thing.

I can't recall how much Fallout: 4 did, but I do feel that the crowd of people who have come to love Bethesda games - myself included - generally view that FO:4 was a bit of a disappointment. The voiced protagonist, limited dialogue choices, and hackneyed gameplay when it came to the base-building were all signs of a company that was chasing some of the current gaming trends.

At this time, I really do hope that Bethesda/Todd Howard take some more time to really think about where they want to go with TES:VI. However, I also appreciate that they are at a difficult crossroads.

Increasing the complexity of their gameplay, and pulling back on the things like the voice protagonist, are not going to be 'easy' choices to be made since they will reflect poorly from a critical assessment perspective.

However, that said, I do hope they take heart that, given the amount of love an support has been showered on D:OS2 over the last few days, that they realize that gamers are ready to take on more 'initiative'/'more of the work' when it comes to taking on the 'role-playing' responsibilities during this type of gameplay.

I don't need someone to voice the options for me. I can fill in what I think my character sounds like. But I do need options to pick that differentiate me from other players who will make different choices in a quest.
 
If we go by the gap between Oblivion and Skyrim, TES 6 should have been released about a year ago.

At this rate, I am not expecting it until after 2020.

Edit: And Bethesda isn't done re-releasing Skyrim every singe year.

Todd Howard already said this gen couldn't handle it

My guess is the next game will be in Valenwood and they want to create this amazing looking forest world but current gen couldn't handle the looks and scope of what they wanted so they are waiting for next gen.

That and they are busy with their new IP in the meantime.

Gen's not even halfway done yet. We ain't seeing PS5/XB4 for another 5 years minimum. Elder Scrolls 6 can easily hit in that time.

Saying that what they used since Morrowind is all the same engine is misleading at best. Whateveritwascalledbackthen, Gamebryo and Creation Engine all have structural similarities, but they're as different as they're similar.

As to OPs question, probably next gen.
 
It makes sense for them to release it this gen and then sell a next gen upgraded version. Waiting until next gen is essentially throwing away possibly their most profitable release of all time. The install base for next gen won't reach this level for another 6 to 8 years.

They're not making TES6 right now.

They're making a new IP like TES right now.

They're years away from even starting development on TES6, of course it will be next gen.
