Bethesda’s Todd Howard has once again commented on the decision to announce The Elder Scrolls 6 all the way back in 2018. The game was announced at E3 that year alongside Starfield, and just after Fallout 76 was revealed in May 2018.
The timing of those reveals played a key role in why The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced around the same time. Fallout 76 was the franchise’s first stab at online multiplayer, while Starfield was a brand-new IP. Announcing The Elder Scrolls 6 at the same time was a purposeful decision to help core fans understand a more traditional Bethesda game was coming … eventually.
Howard would not have done it this way if he got to decide, however.
