In 2026, it will be eight years since The Elder Scrolls VI was announced. Unfortunately, the game is not expected to be released for several years, but Bethesda Game Studios is quite optimistic.
In an interview with Game Informer, Todd Howard, the game’s director and executive producer, said that development is “progressing very well.” He also added that the studio is working on several games simultaneously.
“It’s progressing really well. The majority of the studio’s on VI, but I’ll say this: We always overlap. So, we’re very used to overlapping development. And we have long pre-productions on things so that we feel good about them. And it’s a process. We all wish it went a little bit faster – or a lot faster – but it’s a process that we want to get right.”
For his part, art director Emil Pagliarulo said that the teams will take their time in order to deliver the best possible experience for players.
“I can say that it’s going! It’s funny, because the time pressure that players put on us, we don’t put on ourselves. And I know that can be frustrating for players who are dying to play a game. Games take a long time, and games get pushed all the time; GTA just got pushed again, which was the smartest thing they could do, because a game the size of these games, they take not just a long time to make, but a long time to spit and polish and iron out the bugs. And so, what do fans really want? Do they want a game that comes out before it should and doesn’t meet their expectations? Or do they want the turkey that is in the oven for long enough to be delicious when it finally comes out of the oven, you know? That’s what I think people are going to want. So, we’re going to take our time and as long as it needs to be to be great.”
