Bethesda continues to fuel discussions about the highly-anticipated role-playing game, The Elder Scrolls 6. Recent insights from Todd Howard reveal that the development team, largely composed of the original creators behind Skyrim, aims to return to the franchise's roots with this new installment. Howard discussed the challenges faced during the creation of previous titles like Fallout 76 and Starfield, labeling them as "creative detours." He emphasized the commitment to enhancing the classic Elder Scrolls experience in the forthcoming game. Bethesda has also been investing time in developing the new Creation Engine 3 to elevate gameplay and graphics ahead of the game's launch, although Howard notes that fans should temper their excitement as it is still a long way off.
