The Elder Scrolls 6 Returns to Classic Bethesda RPG Style on Creation Engine 3

Howard cautions the sequel remains a long way off with its setting still undisclosed.

Overview

  • Todd Howard said on Kinda Funny Gamescast that the new entry will hew to the studio’s Skyrim, Oblivion, and Fallout 3/4 design ethos.
  • He characterized Fallout 76 and Starfield as creative detours from that traditional approach.
  • Bethesda has upgraded Creation Engine 2 into Creation Engine 3, and The Elder Scrolls 6 is being built on the new version.
  • Howard said the technical work focuses on denser world systems and delivering detail immediately close to the camera.
  • He confirmed the team knows the location but is not revealing it, reiterated that release is still a while away, and noted fan theories such as Hammerfell remain unconfirmed.
