The highly anticipated The Elder Scrolls 6 is set to return to Bethesda's classic style, according to director Todd Howard. After the studio's creative detours with Starfield and Fallout 76, Howard assures fans that the upcoming game will be a nostalgic journey back to the series' roots. In an interview with KindaFunny, Howard revealed that the team has been working diligently to enhance the Creation Engine 2, which powers Starfield, and is now upgrading it to Creation Engine 3, the engine that will drive The Elder Scrolls 6 and future Bethesda titles. The director also mentioned that the majority of the original Skyrim developers are still with the studio, and new talent has been brought in to contribute to the game's development. The wait for The Elder Scrolls 6 has been a long one, with the announcement made almost eight years ago. Howard has been patient, acknowledging that the game is still a long way off, and has even hinted at a potential surprise release. Despite the delay, Howard believes that the wait will be worth it, as the team is taking the time to ensure the game meets the high standards fans expect. He emphasized that the team wants to deliver a game that lives up to the series' legacy, rather than rushing it to market. The director's commitment to quality is evident in his words, "We're going to take our time and as long as it needs to be great." This sentiment resonates with fans who appreciate the dedication to crafting a memorable gaming experience. The Elder Scrolls 6 promises to be a return to the classic style that fans love, and the team's efforts to refine the game engine and maintain the involvement of key developers are a testament to their commitment to delivering a high-quality product. As the development continues, fans can look forward to a game that embodies the series' essence and sets a new standard for open-world RPGs.
