Overview
- Nate Purkeypile told Esports Insider the 2018 teaser accompanied Starfield to show Elder Scrolls 6 existed after the long gap since Skyrim.
- He said the studio is prepared to delay the game to meet quality goals rather than ship to a fixed date.
- Purkeypile described fan expectations as creating a "no-win" situation for Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5, a pressure he linked to his 2021 departure.
- He hopes the sequel focuses on a single Tamriel region and introduces fresh systems instead of expanding scope for its own sake.
- GameSpot reports most Bethesda Game Studios staff are now on Elder Scrolls 6 and AI is used in development, while an Xbox social-media quip about "games ending in 6" has fueled unconfirmed fan speculation without an official update.
