Talk about jumping the gun with that announcement. I'll honestly be a bit surprised if we see the game this decade.
It's the same situation as with Metroid Prime 4. It's more to just confirm people that "yes we will make it at some point so stop f*ing asking. Buy Skyrim for the 5th time while you wait"

Maybe by the time my son is old enough to play with me, lol
Is he born yet?
I'm still in the "find a girlfriend" stage
With all the recent big releases crashing and burning lately I can't help but feel jaded by this. I guess we'll see how Starfield is at launch...
Yeah I’m really scared on how that will turn out. I want to believe in Bethesda but I can’t after all those releases…
Oh man. That just feels like yesterday. Still haven’t found any game that’s close to Skyrim. Only game I can think of that similar yet different in its own unique way that I absolutely love is Dragons Dogma. Can’t wait for Capcom to show more of DD2 on Monday!!
Yeah, it's strange to think that even outside of Bethesda no one has really been able to come close to replicating the gaming experience you get with Skyrim. I still end up booting it up now and then when I'm in the mood because if I want that style of game that's all there really is (not including Morrowind/Oblivion of course).
I agree. I will boot up the game once in a while to scratch that itch and then stop. I do the same with FO4 for some reason. I don't know why but I am hoping they tease ES6 at the showcase. Extremely slim to none of a chance

Xbox Games Showcase is on Sunday so hopefully we'll see new trailer or something
If there is it'll be a pre-rendered trailer like the one shown 5 years ago. They're way too busy on Starfield to have started any real work on TES6.
I doubt it. It will be years before we hear anything of it again

Sheesh! I wasn't holding my breath then. And I'm not holding it now. I played Oblivion in school. Skyrim right after college.
Now my hair is gray and il be 40 in a couple years.
I mean you got at least 5 remakes of Skyrim, what do you want
We're probably still a few more special edition releases away from hearing a launch date
This trailer will be able to vote before the game releases.
.... I'm starting to feel old. Was that really 5 years ago? The pandemic really screwed with my sense of time...

I just realised the other day, that with the common definition that retro is older than the last two generations, Skyrim's original release is retro as it was a PS3 game originally....
Arena released in 1994.
Daggerfall 2 years later in 1996.
Morrowind in 2002, 6 years later.
Then Oblivion came in 2006, 4 years.
Skyrim was 2011, 5 years.
Now 12 years later, all we got is a 5 year old trailer and Todd once telling us they where still thinking aboht the setting.
Just let that sink in...
Elder Scrolls Online must still be generating a decent amount of income.
But that's made by Zenimax Online. Outside of Bethesda handing over lore to use, they have nothing to do with that...

I feel like I keep getting little Elder Scrolls releases in the form of mods made my incredible, passionate mod developers. I find it so fascinating and wonderful to see people who care so much about making great content that they'll do it for free and it often turns out better than some professional teams could do.
I've been replaying Skyrim to teach myself German, but I'm also using quite a few mods, such as Inigo and Helgen Reborn. I also have some that take me to other lands. Some mods just increase graphics or change gameplay mechanics a bit. There's just so many amazing things people have made, it really keeps things fresh.
It'll be cool when the next game comes out, sure, but for now I can keep supporting mod creators and having a blast finding new things :)
Oh yeah mods added an extra 100 hours to that game for me at least! Not to mention trying to fix load orders etc, a game of sorts unto itself!
Honestly with how shit Bethesda has been, and my low opinion of Skyrim compared to the earlier Elder Scrolls games, i'm not that excited. Like all AAA games nowadays its gonna be a buggy and unplayable mess. And once it gets fixed, people will realize it wasnt even a good game in the first place.
Been in and out of the gaming community, so explain like I'm five; Do you think it is because the work they put into the Fallout franchise?
Fallout has also been an absolute mess for a while. Fallout 4 and 76 were terrible games, and I personally dislike the new direction of the Bethesda games.
I am so wary of their games now. I tried Fallout 4, even did their stupid app and it went no where for me. I even bought their billion dollar preorder and fanciness, so I could hate it. I let 76 run its course before even trying it; so I still haven't played it.
I'm hoping they're backing away from Elder Scrolls because of that. Make it right or just let us buy a thousand copies of Skyrim I guess.
I don't think im qualified or knowledgeable enough to say why their games have been really bad, I can only give my opinion that they are. And because of that, I probably wont be coming back to buy their stuff.
I came in on Oblivion and loved it. For as much of a mess as Skyrim was, I enjoyed it. I've found it very, very hard to go back and play Morrowind (or earlier games) as a newcomer without a pair nostalgia goggles. I agree, like all Bethesda releases, it will be a buggy mess. But I'm still looking forward to it. I just want another entry in the series to get lost in, but that's probably just my depression and me looking back at more than a decade ago with my own nostalgia goggles.
I never cared for RPGs growing up but when KotOR came out when I was in college I was immediately hooked! My next serious dip into the RPG pool was Oblivion and I loved it!
Skyrim, for how much it improved on Oblivion didn't capture me the same way. Despite it red-ringing my 360 the seemingly endless random dragon attacks made me outright quit the game. It wasn't until last year I gave it another shot on XBone with the anniversary edition and even then it wasn't as enthralling as everyone makes it out to be
KOTOR is one I've wanted to try, but worry it'll be a Morrowind experience for me. I was excited to hear about the remake, but that seems like it could be in limbo at the moment.
Oblivion was far more vibrant and fantasical-feeling while out and exploring. Skyrim felt very dull and depressing, but that was also the vibe they were going for. I don't fault anyone for not liking something. Hell, Witcher 3 should be right up my alley on paper, and I just didn't end up enjoying it, even after giving it several hours at a friend's recommendation.

What 💀
We're probably going to see Skyblivion and Skywind release before TES6...
Coincidentally, Metroid Prime 4 announcement trailer is turning 5 on June 13th, although they did scrap everything and started over again. Let's just hope the games turns out great and the wait is worth it.
Honestly, the amount of time it takes AAA titles like this to launch is crazy. Buuut if that's the price we pay for getting a finished, somewhat bug free experience, then so be it. I'd rather that that crunch leading to burnout and a product that gets rushed out to appease shareholders (stares in 2077).
Expecting a somewhat bug free experience from Bethesda... also, while games take long nowadays, 12 years isn't a normal amount. Nor is announcing 5 years prior then never speaking of it again... Pretty sure we're past the "modern games take a lot of time to develop" stage by now.

I'm not sure what to expect at this point. I would hope it's very well polished. But it is Bethesda. So who knows. Haha.
It can't be worse than FO76? Maybe?
...ugh. Thanks for that thought. I had completely forgotten about FO76.
I would agree, if that's actually what's happening.
However, looking at how the gaming industry does things… I think it's more likely that it takes so long because the game has either been put on ice or they have a completely understaffed team working on it slowing, development to a crawl. And then, once the company suddenly decides they want to release it, they're going to force crunch time, anyway.
I'd be very happy if my suspicions turn out wrong, but…
Yeah... I'm trying to remain somewhat optimistic but in all likelihood you're right.
That’s okay. Take your time, Bethesda, and give us an amazing TES6 whenever it’s ready.
Until then, to be fair, the modding community is still doing amazing things to TES5, so I’m okay to wait.
Considering how much time I hope to get out of Starfield, once that releases I won't mind the wait.
