While the PS4 and Xbox One could still be getting new games in a couple of years' time, we doubt they'll be able to handle what Bethesda cooks up graphically. What we can be much more confident about is what platforms the game is likely to come to - we can now be fairly sure that it's a next-gen only title.

There's a certain ring to the name, too, which always helps when selling multi-million-dollar gaming franchises. It's home to the Argonian lizard-people, which make up one of Tamriel's races.

The first major option is Black Marsh, the most south-eastern area of Tamriel, which gives the game opportunity to explore a different landscape than the frosted lands of Skyrim. But what will the name and setting be? There are a number of options - Valenwood, Elsweyr, Akavir, and more - but our prediction is that it will go one of three ways. Many previous The Elder Scrolls games adopt these regions in their very names - Skyrim, Morrowind, and so on - so it's widely assumed that TES6 will follow suit. For one thing, it's almost guaranteed to be set in Tamriel, the fictional continent that's housed every Elder Scrolls game so far, and which is made up of multiple regions, which have changed over the course of its history. The Elder Scrolls 6 is currently in development.Even if it's a while away, though, we can still make some educated guesses about the content of the game, thankfully. Given Todd Howard's tone in the interview, one thing is known for certain: Bethesda is quite confident in Skyrim's successor, and that should be a very comforting thought for Elder Scrolls fans. From environment art and fidelity, to character creation and bringing back roleplaying mechanics, there is a lot that Starfield offers which might find its way to The Elder Scrolls 6. Though not related to The Elder Scrolls 6, fans may still want to give Starfield a look, as many of its ambitious features and additions are very likely tech that will be reused for the next Elder Scrolls game. Described as having a Nasapunk aesthetic, Starfield seeks to escape a comparison with The Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, and to truly establish its own unique identity. Despite being a brand-new intellectual property, the excitement for Starfield is sky-high. In addition to The Elder Scrolls 6, the podcast also covers the impending release of Starfield, and what players might expect from the upcoming Bethesda title. The franchise has certainly had plenty of variance in that regard, from Morrowind's steady introduction on a boat headed for Vvardenfell, to Oblivion's prologue taking place in an escape from the Imperial Prison – if the opening for The Elder Scrolls 6 is to match its predecessors, it should ultimately have an intro that's right for its setting.

He escapes the role of game director for a moment, and puts himself into the role of a player, wondering what they might want to do or what they might expect from an Elder Scrolls intro. RELATED: Todd Howard Wishes The Elder Scrolls 6 Were Here Alreadyįor some reason, during these early stages of conceptualization, Todd Howard admits to having a peculiar fixation on creating the right opening sequence. From tone and music, to the defining features of its gameplay, Todd Howard explains in a recent interview by Lex Fridman that the development team establishes these concepts early on. Though one could make the argument The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced too early, Bethesda clearly has a very specific vision in mind for Skyrim's successor. Whether it will end up in High Rock or Hammerfell remains to be seen, and Bethesda will no doubt remain tight-lipped about it until Starfield has had its time in the limelight. There's been much speculation surrounding the next Elder Scrolls game, and though it's been over four years since the debut of its announcement trailer, fans still don't even know where the sequel is supposed to take place. The intro of Skyrim has reached unprecedented levels of infamy over the course of a decade, and now Todd Howard teases that Bethesda has known exactly how The Elder Scrolls 6 will open for a very long time.
