Bethesda Admits Elder Scrolls 6 May Not Meet Sky-High Expectations

Former Skyrim lead designer Bruce Nesmith highlights the immense pressure on Elder Scrolls 6 to surpass its predecessors.

  • Bruce Nesmith, former lead designer of Skyrim, believes it will be 'almost impossible' for Elder Scrolls 6 to meet fan expectations.
  • The game has been in development since its announcement in 2018 but remains shrouded in mystery with few details revealed.
  • Bethesda's history of critically acclaimed games like Skyrim and Fallout raises the bar for Elder Scrolls 6.
  • Marketing departments are concerned that anything less than a near-perfect score on Metacritic could be seen as a failure.
  • Nesmith draws parallels with Larian Studios, noting the high expectations following the success of Baldur's Gate 3.
