A former Bethesda developer who served as Skyrim’s lead designer predictsThe Elder Scrolls 6’s full reveal will mirror Fallout 4’s, in the sense that we probably won’t hear much else about the RPG until about six months before launch.
“The company took years of hits for not talking about The Elder Scrolls 6. Years of hits. Because Todd’s opinion – one which I share, by the way – is that the video game industry has short memories. Those companies that start touting their games years ahead of time actually screw themselves. The best time to start talking about it is six months before release.”
“Only the fact that the pitchforks and torches were out is what got Todd to say, ‘yes, we’re gonna do The Elder Scrolls 6. I promise you! It’s for real! It’ll happen!’ But I’m betting you won’t hear much in the way of details until six months before, which is the way it should be. I think that’s the best approach. He’s proven that works really well for Bethesda.”
Nesmith also agrees Starfield could’ve focused more on fewer planets, saying “exploration didn’t come through as well” as a result of its scope.
