Todd Howard, director and executive producer at Bethesda, has said that he wantsThe Elder Scrolls 6to be “the ultimate fantasy-world simulator.”
In a recentGQinterview where Howard discussed the upcoming release of theStarfield, he was asked aboutThe Elder Scrolls 6- the next major game in the fantasy RPG series that he’ll be directing.
The Elder Scrolls 6was announced nearly five years ago alongside a short teaser trailer, but the game has remained under wraps, with development updates staying relatively quiet.
When asked whether the game may have been announced too early, Howard responded: “I have asked myself that a lot. I don’t know. I probably would’ve announced it more casually.”
Howard also shared his vision of what he wants the next installment in the series to be like, and although he couldn’t give a full answer, the director hinted at what he wants to achieve in terms of impact.
“It’s like… I don’t want to answer, but I want to be polite,” he said. “I will say that we want it to fill that role of the ultimate fantasy-world simulator. And there are different ways to accomplish that given the time that has passed.”
When Howard takes onThe Elder Scrolls 6, it will be his fourth time directing a game for the series sinceThe Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowindin 2002.We know that the next installment is in its very early stages of development and will be the next major release for Bethesda Game Studios.
